Description
AC-130 BETA
Thank you for waiting while we worked on this, and waiting just a bit longer for the full release! It's crazy to think that it's taken over 5 years to get it to this point.

Beta means that is this a test release so the public can assist us in finding bugs. Errors and malfunctions are quite possible. If you aren't ok with this, please wait until the full release.

If you have another issue, join and search our discord, it's probably already been addressed. If not, let us know in #ac130-bug-reports.

Origins and credits:
Pingopete joined the USAF team in 2017 and worked over a 5 year period on the spooky with the goal of bringing the most accurate spooky gunship experience to ARMA 3 possible. Textures, systems, modeling, sounds, and visual effects were built from the ground up to deliver an authentic experience to the community. This mod was brought to realization in tandem with the USAF team who provided guidance and support along the way, without the help of the USAF mod team, this mod would not be possible.

Honorable Mentions:
A massive thanks to GrandalAF who helped to produce the most realistic gunship experience possible.
Big shout out to Hate&Caffeine who worked to bring the thermal imaging mod A3TI from this project into a standalone mod.
Special thanks to slowness for his work in the object modeling of the cockpit dashboard model.
Also a thanks to warlord for the operations room model.
A huge thanks to the gunship community who provided invaluable feedback and support throughout this 5 year modding journey.

@Slothman To be clear i haven't downloaded the mod yet.Have you tried giving the plane a "Loiter" waypoint?it makes the ai fly in a designated circle around the waypoint. (double click the waypoint to designate the altitude, direction,and radius of the circle they fly) i hope this helps! im not online often so if you have other questions, you sadly may not get a speedy reply. (this is my first comment here and im also not 100% sure on how replies work on steam)

try my AC130 scenario at

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2910951090

and see fpr yourself.

There is instructins for the whole plane control there, also how to aim with the GREEN crosshair
and ranges/angles.

not really sure how to get AI to utilize it, they just fly into the enemy like a suicide drone

Mod works as intended for the most part, but the guns don't seem to shoot as to where im aiming, i notice a crosshair that doesn't like up with where im aiming but the guns targeting seems to have a mind of its own. or im just stupid idk lol

Why my plane alway crashing after take off?
WO_Viper Jan 9 @ 5:25pm 
you start off in the pilot seat...take off and once airborne go into "autopilot GS" once you select ur ALT,radius and speed and click on the "aap ON" button,you will be moved into another seat....if you want to return to pilot you simply need to return to "autopilot GS" and tick aap OFF" you'll be returned to pilot.

The mod is amazing. The only problem is after player enable Auto Pilot to loiter above the target area and smoked the enemy he cannot take back the control of the pilot! If you have Team Switch you can switch to copilot but forget about Landing Autopilot - you have to land manually.
