Can i edit the cfg of the Oerlikon to make the explosive rounds explode at a range greater than 3500m?

Yes, I believe. Look for something that is 3500, set it to whatever you want.

 

Recommend you to back up your game first.

I'm having some difficulties with BDarmory 1.3.1. Whenever there is a hit, no damage is dealt by the weapons. I'm running with KSP 1.7.1 by the way.

Did you install module manager?

What are your bdac settings?

@jrodriguez why is my gps targetting system missing the mark? 

Bombs and missiles can no longer hit their designated target accurately using gps.

Theres nothing in the cfg set to 3500

Just a couple of notes for things I've noticed:

1. Guns clipped into other objects don't seem to be fired by the AI anymore; formerly, the AI would not care as long as the firing path was otherwise unobstructed by mesh geometry. It's a pretty edge case, but I use the GAU-8 flipped into the aircraft a lot because 1) less exposed hitbox, 2) it looks better. Not sure if this is intended behavior or not; if it is... that sucks.

2. Camera issue; potentially BDA related. In flight, the camera moves ahead of the CoM for some reason instead of staying focused. Not sure if BDA-specific related, or one of the related mods (e.g., PRE).

3. Sound issue; also potentially BDA/related mod related. Sounds are omnipresent throughout a scene; as if all engines are located right next to the camera. Seeing that the previous one is also a camera issue, I'd assume that it's BDA/PRE causing this issue.

 

Also, seemingly around mid-April or May, a small update to BDA may have caused missile self-detonations to return? Unsure, maybe I'm just imagining it. It's not as frequent as the BDA 1.2.2 occurrences either, and the circumstances are a lot less clear. Just that it happens very consistently on certain craft, and not at all on others, or at least very, very low frequency with edge cases from other craft.

So I had a ground radar/missile emplacement on an island. I was flying a fighter towards the island, and upon the target loading, suddenly my game switches vessels to the target, then switches back to the plane and the plane explodes. Anyone else know what could be the issue? I had the plane flying with atmosphere autopilot and usually when switching vessels it sill keeps the planes stable and on track.

It is due to PRE. Latest version of PRE has some issues. I'm working on a fix for it

Which version of PRE are you using?

Maybe you can try the latest I published yesterday. I still doing fixes and I might publish new version soon.

I have been having a problem with my modular missile designs where separators are still triggered by action groups.  I understand that the procedural missile core and the modular missile guidance parts disable the engines from being fired by the action groups, but is there any way to "lock" the separators from being activated by the action groups?

[memeconnoiseur]

hey @jrodriguez how does the heat seeking guidance work? how does the guidance determine whether something is hot or not?

No, modular missile module will not disable nothing from being triggered by actions group.

Probably written in the code, but there is a threshold as to how strongly these missiles lock on to their target, or get distracted by flares.

[Xd the great]

Do rocket pods work now? AKA used by AIs?

tried it, no longer explodes entire craft, just seems to streamline the craft by ripping the front half of the wings off, craft is still flyable so consider the issue resolved

Do you have installed Kerbal Joint Reinforcement Continued ? It is almost mandatory to have it.

@Chris Bolland lets continue our discussion here.

Did you try increasing maxEngageDistance? It worked for me. Also try increasing attack time (something with a value of 80 in the .cfg for bdac bombs)

Cruise time. Set it to some insanely ridiculously large numbers.

Tell me if my hypothesis is correct.

Naw, that didn't do anything. Probably because the bomb doesn't have a cruise mode at all.

If I can't change it, it's fine I'll just have to send bombing missions at lower altitude and risk the flak and fighters. I changed the stats on the Flak88s so they fire at 30rpm. I've got 6 batteries of 3 guns each with a max range of 7km and I have to fly at 5km to bomb accurately. I made the tracers invisible so it's a surprise when I'm hit, and I'm constantly biting my nails.

This is a .cfg that works for me. See if it helps. Good luck when flying/being shot at.

I installed this a while back, and noticed that the .50 cal turrets apparently don't fire/aim correctly, instead having their targeting thing off to the side of the spaceship. Is there a way to fix this?

Sadly no, the new update probably broke the mod even more now...

Lets just say that BDAC guns do not work extremely well in space. Did you test them on Kerbin?
