AC-130 U SPOOKY Gunship

Description
Hey guys this is my AC-130 U gunship!

Credits:

Xro for the xml windows and some nose work!

ChatGPT for I am lost without you.\

Other than that all systems, displays and features were made from scratch by me (and chatgpt)

Features:

1 GAU-12 Equalizer 25mm gatling gun
1 L/60 Bofors 40 mm cannon
1 M102 howitzer 105 mm cannon

All 3 are controlled and aimed by a single gunner seat in the rear. All 3 have auto-reloaders which allow for high rates of fire without user input. Each weapon has ballistic compensation, wind compensation, drag compensation and velocity compensation which allows each to hit pretty much bang on target.
The gunner display mimics the real one (i was originally planning to copy the COD4 one but changed my mind)

The Aircraft itself has autopilot with alt hold and waypoint navigation. It can also be set to automatically orbit a point.
This combined with the autoreloading weapons means the entire aircraft can be operated easily by one person from just 2 seats.
It is controlled by a touchscreen map which you can drag around to move and zoom, then waypoints and your orbit can be placed.
The HUD is based on the actual C130 hud too :D

This is the gunship version of the c130 but feel free to convert it back to cargo if you'd like.
The rear interior is obviously quite different from real life but to get the auto loaders in and working compromises had to be made.
Autopilot can crash if you try placing a very close waypoint or do something else a bit aggressive but its actually pretty stable.

Engines take a while to start and even longer to spool up but hey, I kind of like the slowness and I can't fit a clutch in to speed it up :D

Has tons of fuel and ammunition!

The big issue at the moment is the view scope doesn't appear to display the IR mode correctly; Hopefully this will be updated.

The best A130. Its advantages: Amazing detail, realistic HUD and incredible sight, very good autopilot, weapon control systems, imitation of flaps and folding aircraft for a hangar! Conclusion: a masterpiece! The key assignment seemed strange to me, everything is very confusing, (TO ME).

is there any way to change the radius when orbiting?

Roll should be on left and right arrow keys? I'm unsure how this could be backwards.
Autopilot is normally fine unless you have some wacky waypoints otherwise I can't reproduce the problem

why is the turning up and down on arrow keys?? and yaw a,d instead moving being W,A,S,D really confusing also the autopilot is dookey not to mention the thing dosent stay straight one moment it will fly straight another its turning???? really good control are bad tho pls fix them

Vexllyn, the weapons seat is in the back, look into the viewscope

Sewer king make sure you have set the orbit on the map screen then make sure AP alt hold and waypoint nav are on

I think there's a problem with the orbiting logic. It seems to want to just orbit around a single point with a radius of zero instead of orbiting around the set distance. This makes the plane bank completely horizontally to try to get the shortest turn radius and sends the plane plummeting to the ground.

love how the autopilot and the altitude hold dont work peak creation
