@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)

it works perfectly if u know what to do. all known problems are solved here in the discussion.

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.
Slothman Jan 18 @ 1:22am 
not really sure how to get AI to utilize it, they just fly into the enemy like a suicide drone
ARoyaleWithTrees Jan 15 @ 7:33pm 
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.
Mad_Cheese Dec 11, 2024 @ 1:44am 
Really amazing work - one issue I have is with AI controlled gunships: Editor placed gunships work and the AI flies the plane well. Spawning it into the mission and populating with 'createVehicleCrew' spawns plane and crew but the plane crashes every time.
lordjake737 Dec 2, 2024 @ 9:52pm 
AI wont fire
Wanuboi Nov 30, 2024 @ 2:57am 
The only time it work it's when i pilot it myself but idc of piloting it
Wanuboi Nov 30, 2024 @ 2:56am 
It detect ennemy apparently and it not shoot them but instead go directly crash at them, wtf ^^
Wanuboi Nov 30, 2024 @ 2:54am 
AC 130 just crash all time, i put him high in the air, use flyinHeight or not, whatever i do, it goest straight to the grown after it spawn

In case you dotn´t know how to use all weapons from pilot seat, you have to select GAU 12 first, the use Ctrl + F to change copilot weapon to laser, then you can use the 40mm or the Howtwizer. Then you repeat the process using Ctrl + F until your copilot is on laser and then picking the last weapon from the interaction menu. You only have to do this the first time, from this point you can cycle between all weapons using F.

Fantastic mod. It cant seem to see IR grenades or des.lasers in thermal. Makes it harder to operate. Also, would it be possible to tune the Auto Pilot AI?
And to make it fly level when the parameter window is opened?

It meanders heading towards the target area and enters a nose dive as you get your waypoint down so you have to speed run entering your alt, patrad and airspeed.

Lastly Tracers? IDK if it normally has them but being able to see the rounds hit would add to the experience A LOT

Other than that its perfect. Been extracting targets from a city with a heli using the AC130 as CAS.

Friend can't see ac-130 I spawn

How to make it be controlled by AI?

Thank you TuFI

FOR EVERYONE that is having problems getting access to all of the GUNS from the PILOTSEAT:


A friend of mine and me are doing a Antistasi playtrough and thought it be cool to do some missions with this amazing piece of equipment. just being the two of us it is crucial for me to be able to solo the AC (no AI required), while he does his magic on the ground. But as we all know unfortunatly the mod is a bit broken.

SO we did some fooling around and found out that if you > enable, disable, enable the autopilot you should get access to all of the guns. this worked for us and solo'ing is definitely possible this way.


one a side note: what I also came across is that the autopilot doesn't listen to to the speed that I write down. Only after I "backspace" the speed at least once and then add the number back, does it proceed to go to the correct speed.


I hope this helps a few if not all of you out, as it still is the question when the next update/fix will arive IF EVER....

how do you zoom in and out while in the gunner seat?
N7/] Executive Outcomes Jul 15, 2024 @ 7:40am 
I'm having a weird bug. The mod works fine EXCEPT the guns have no effect on targets. That is, when I fire either the 105 or the GAU; I hear the sound. But nothing happens, no explosion and no damage. WTF?
kiba3x Jun 20, 2024 @ 4:49am 
pls make this standalone, thank u :Currency:
quast Jun 11, 2024 @ 8:06am

do you mind telling me what thermal mods and explosion debris effects you were using in the youtube video link on this mod page
WallaWalla Apr 22, 2024 @ 9:19pm 
How do I get this to appear as a Support in Dynamic combat missions? i try loading the USAF mod but only C-130Js show up. not the AC-130U
Magic Mar 27, 2024 @ 1:25pm 
We need B1B and B-2, and we hope the author can do it as soon as possible. Additionally, if it is paid, it would be good
Piotr Andreevich Feb 24, 2024 @ 8:18am 
how is the code to spawn this air plane in scenario missions
Faneto4400 Jan 21, 2024 @ 8:33am 
@Eyuep, using Drongos artillery and air operations does in fact make it possible to use AI for support
Eyuep Jan 8, 2024 @ 7:10am 
can i make ai fire support with the ac-130 or is this only player usable?
Obamacare189 Nov 21, 2023 @ 5:35pm

kiba3x Nov 20, 2023 @ 10:41pm 
This awesome mod deserves to be standalone. :steamthumbsup:

The side hud seem not to work in zeus, is there any way around it, or is it merely restricted to an eden editor/pre-made scenarios?
Dark Reaper Oct 23, 2023 @ 3:22pm 
where do i find it ? i cant seem to find it
Halfeatendorito Oct 13, 2023 @ 8:08am 
Is there any way to shitch to AP rounds on the howitzer so i can destroy tanks?
Hugofoxli Oct 2, 2023 @ 11:24am 
@LeeAnderson youi can change the Side of the pilot in Zeus. But you have to redo it everytime you go out and back into the AutoPilot.

Now question to anyone. The 105mm seems to always fire bottom right. I am lasing the target with auto Ranging. the Gau and Mk hit on spot except the 105.
josh Sep 2, 2023 @ 2:41am 
Hi I found that the ai can't attack with the cannons because they just charge the ennemy and that all thank you if you fix that

Only issue I have is that the autopilot will ALWAYS be bluefor, making it pretty much useless in any gamemode where you're not since you'll just be shot down by friendly AA.

august 2023, it still beta...

You can increase the view distance with the button on the side of your mouse if you have them.
Wolvren Apr 15, 2023 @ 9:05pm 
Is there a way to change the view distance while in the plane?
I would like to be able to increase the view distance.
Thank you for the awesome mod.
