Hi all :-)

I was watching the video linked below and it appears that the mod features aim assist, which is kinda funky. Is there a way to implement this in other mods/campaigns etc.? I'm thinking it might be an effective workaround to the Thurstmaster HOTAS dead zone problem - it might not matter if you can't aim properly using that thing if the game does it for you. Its not cheating - honest - It's basically what most console FPS games do to overcome the limitations of joypads

You need to bring this into the AI_Profile for the mission you play: https://wiki.hard-light.net/index.php/Ai_profiles.tbl#.24Player_Autoaim_FOV:

There is also a per ship version of this:

This works globally and is not player only.

Indeed, wouldn't be too hard to make a little mod that does that. Fate of the Galaxy uses both of those and it certainly comes in handy for fast paced speeds.

That would be cool, since I have no idea what to do with the previously provided links. When it comes to coding I have the dum

I faced this "problem" too some time ago, here's the thread : https://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=95864.0

Basically you need to create a Tables folder in the Data folder of the mod you wanna play, create an autoaim-aip.tbm and put the values mentioned in the thread above. You have to know the profile name of the campaign you play though, you can easily get it with VPView I think. In my case, I could stack FS1 RETAIL and SILENT THREAT REBORN as 2 profiles in the same table since they both depend on fsport-mediavps to work. The player profile you create doesn't matter, it will apply to all of them.

Thanks for the heads up 

At the risk of sounding dumb, how do i create an -aip.tbm? Is it a case of creating a notepad doc with the relevant info copied and pasted and then choosing 'save as' then replacing the .txt with aip.tbm  ?

Any advice greatly appreciated :-)

Safe as txt, than change to tbm. Just make sure that it's not something like .tbm.txt as that can be really annoying.
