Working AC-130 Spooky Mod for Arma 3

[Mercer]

Currently a number of mods out there exist Including the USAF variant of the AC-130 Spooky (the AC-130 with guns). However most have not been touched since post Jets DLC update or have the inability to take off. Does nayone know of a working one?

Hello

I see you have done your homework and i think you have already the answer.
Maby this one will be a good taste (Gunship Version)

The USAF mod has two variants. A regular AC-130 that works like the Blackfish. The other variant is scripted with auto-pilot and a custom GUI for the gunner, extremely OP.. as the AC-130 should be.

This may not be *exactly* what you are looking for, but it fills the same role as far as capabilities go. It uses Arma's drone models and AI, but allows a UAV operator to gun from the UAV turret using 105mm and 40mm cannon, as well as the drone's usual Scalpel missiles.

its pretty lame for a "ac-130" to have laser guided missiles on it and no 7.62 miniguns. the guy just changed a few lines in a config file for a vanilla vehicle. he was too lazy to even add a c-130 model attached to the drone and make the drone invisible, so that it looks like an actual airplane flying around.

its pretty brutal but you could probably fix the old ac-130 from the usaf mod yourself. you would just need to edit its config file and set proper values and new attributes added in jets dlc. maybe you can look at the code of some other mod plane thats been updated and see how they did it.

from what i hear its main problem is that it cant take off. maybe something with the wheel suspension? who knows.

i might even try to look into it myself.

Looks like the USAF team has perfect timing. Here is a total revision of their 2014-2015 era AC-130. I gave it a short go, it's pretty good.
