Notes regarding weapons use -

AIM-9 Sidewinders -
---------------------
Main Air to Air Weapon to be used.
Warhead is slightly more powerfull.
Cannot hold lock on aircraft in hi-g turns as good as Bis Defualt AIM-9.
More immune to countermeasureses than Bis Defualt AIM-9.
Reduced missile thrust to more real settings than Bis Defualt.
Warhead Arms at 500m distance from firing.
Weapon needs 3 seconds to aquire lock.


AIM-54 -
----------
Much Better long range attack capability than the AIM-9 Sidewinder.Cannot hold lock on aircraft in hi-g turns as good as AIM-9.
Warhead Arms at 1500m distance from firing.
Weapon needs 2 seconds to aquire lock.

Use this weapon first from long range from the 6'oclock position (rear of opfor) and hopefully when the target aircraft is not turning hard.


AGM-65 Maverick-
------------------
Long range anti-tank weapon.
Missile has better flight characteristics than Defualt Bis wep.
Wont lose altitude as much as Bis wep and can be used from further and at lower altitudes.
Missile Cannot hold lock when fired too far off-axis of target.



-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Todo-
* Remove/fix  Scripted weps.
* FLIR /Optics Laser Des.for gunner LGB version?
* Add the Iran variant to the Iran mod Faction.
* Animate hook.
* Alter the wing sweep script for better carrier ops.
* Would like to see the guns for the pilot, and maybe hydras. considering as an option.
* If possible, animate the landing gear doors to close after the gears, and not simultaneous pending CFG .
* Key files, so it can be used on servers with lock. pending future versions.
* Hi-speed sound adjustment.
* Mp visual efx for afterburner.
*

Fixed the following issues:

* 'No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgFactionClasses.USAF' Fixed CFG error
* No engine sound in cockpit,cfg Fixes thanx to ANZACSAS Steve
* When turning head back as pilot, wings and body are white. (USNavy versions) Fixed 
* As gunner, you see the HUD from the pilot. pending/not sure of fix
* Some LOD seem to have no texture, from far it turned all White, then closer the texture appeared (seem to be USN version to). Fixed
* Missiles seem to spawn above the plane when firing. so makes a missile and "explision" appear above the plane for a brief second. Weapons scripted/expect proper fix as addon moves to arma2 proxies
* If im not mistaken the rearwing should work as aileron and elev.? still checking, if anyone has information please advise 

Other personal things.

* Would like to see the guns for the pilot, and maybe hydras. considering as an option
* Making the wings animate in cockpit view to, right now they seem to be swept back all the time when turning around in cockpit. Fixed
