Toggled on via a ships.tbl "gun convergence" flag. To change the angle of weapons, use the "Normal" field for gun points. Unfortunately, POFCS doesn't let you set gun/missile point normals, so you'll have to use ModelView.

Oh, and if somebody ever told you, "When fiery ordinance flies out a Viper's ass!!", now you can reply...



"Oh, it does. It does indeed..."

I love you.

[karajorma]

Excellent. People have wanted this for a long time

[Col. Fishguts]

Awesome

Does this affect the lead indicator ?
Say, if I would set the normal 45° up from the forward direction, would the indicator move to the correct position ?

[Galemp]

Does this work for secondary weapon firepoints as well?
And if so, can I stay locked on to a target so long as it's within the view cone of the firing point? Otherwise I won't be able to strafe with my bombs.

[Galemp]

I tried it out myself; target lock is a bit odd but otherwise it seems to work just as well with secondaries. Here's something for you to try out, that I've wanted to do for a while.

Advanced Countermeasures Test


It would be fun implementing this into a tertiary weapons systems for certain fighters.

[MetalDestroyer]

LOL !! I'm gonna try it . Just hope it won't happen like the gun from this Viper 

[FireCrack]

Hmm, prtehaps it would be good to be able to specify a gun bank as "countermeasure" wich would bind it to the countermeasure launcher instead of a primary/secondary weapon...

[Kazan]

so the normal is respected now? i'll make it editable

now i have to implement ITTS

[Carl]

It should converge at the maximum range of the weapon, not at a distance specific to the ship.

[WMCoolmon]

The weapon is rotated on the normal specified when it's fired, so whether it converges at all is up to the modder.

[CAPGuy]

speaking of the viper, is there any place that i can get just the models of the battlestar galactica ships to import into FRED 2?

[karajorma]

If it were that easy BtRL would be out by now

[AqueousShadow]

This means convergence for X-wings?!?!

[WMCoolmon]

If someone edits the POFs and tables to take advantage of it, then

[Nuke]

hey this is pretty cool. this will work fine on my ships that have widely placed guns.

now, do blindfire

[Setekh]

Coolmon, that's freaking amazing. Well done.

[Gregster2k]

Now all we need is to combine this with a simple sphere and flak cannons plus the new "flak range" feature and fighters will have a new and evil capital ship weapon to fear..."Flak Shields" XD

[Charismatic]

Good job man, looks sweet.

[Turnsky]

sweet, not get "blindfire" going (i.e the guns automatically leading a target to a degree or so inside the reticle, could be handy for some other mods where some fightercraft with turreted guns.
