I've created immobile units using the Patriot & missile launcher with the integrated radar for my contract pack and setting each unit with guard mode set to True in the .cfg leads to both these BDarmory assets to fire their missiles without animating towards the target. The missile launcher doesn't articulate and point at the target, then fire the missile. The Patriot system doesn't animate, turn towards the target, open the launch doors. Instead the missiles launch within the closed pod that is still locked in it's original position. The rocket turrets and guns work flawless though. The Team toggle in the Weapon Manager resets it's 'visual' selection when you load the craft in hanger, rather than continuing to show that a craft has been toggled to Team B it shows Team A. Is there a way that we could get a toggle to activate Guardmode in hanger? Maybe an auto-pilot for submersible? Thanks for your work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay I caught the team label issue in the editor, but for the turret issues, I'd have to take a look at your output log. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BDArmory is the only way I'm able to return a booster back to KSC and put a payload into orbit at the same time. But the 100km limit forces me to use overpowered upper stages to shoot out to a high enough Ap to allow the time to land the booster. I'm also trying to do a twin boostback like the Falcon heavy. Ive had no success with burn together. The booster separate too far. Could BDArmory by chance undergo such a task?

The terrain colliders don't load at that distance (they unload at around 11km) so I'm not sure if that would help much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stay with the booster. Mechjeb flys the second stage off. Its been working very well. An even longer load distance would allow the second stage to burn longer so I could use more efficient engines.

stickman939 Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 I definitely think that the range in which the bombing reticles are seen(if that's the right word) should be increase greatly for high altitude bombing and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScientistEric Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 (edited) I've got a problem, when I put a vessel in the world and I put another vessel onto the runway any crew in all other vessels in the world at the time disappear. In the morning I'll be checking if it might be another mod, but it hasn't ever happened before. Edited February 18, 2016 by ScientistEric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Temeter Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 (edited) This is great! Thanks a lot for this amazing updated (and ofc everything before too!) <3 Finally ships can shoot laser guided rockets at each other! Just watching some of my boats doing artillery duels atm. Even better, they actually use anti-air rockets to intercept the AGM's on longer ranges. Edited February 18, 2016 by Temeter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colmo Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 8 hours ago, BahamutoD said: Not entirely true; AI planes have been able to use laser and anti-rad missiles for a while, but not fixed rocket pods yet. I'm enabling beam riding type missiles for guards (the TOW) in the next update. For surface-surface there is an issue where landed guards were arbitrarily limited by a 1km min launch distance. This will also be fixed to use the particular missile's configured dynamic min launch range instead. The AI just needs a targeting pod on-board to use laser missiles. Hmm, I must have done something wrong. I equipped a plane with Hellfires and a targeting pod, it would select the weapon and go on a strafing run, open cargo bay doors if needed (I also tried wing mounts), but didn't fire. 0.10.3 looks sweet, I'll give the TOW missiles a go as well now, and feedback on the BDVesselSwitcher.

Aegrim Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 I've tried making an f-22 to beat my champion super manoeuvrable su-37. But it constantly just opens the cargo bay, gets a lock, and then never fires. Am I doing something wrong?

The stock bays are really slow so it could be that it's trying to fire but the bay isn't open all the way yet so it gets blocked by clearance check, then by the time the fire cycle is ready to fire again, the shot opportunity is long gone. It could also be that the missile's seeker can't see the the laser point when its in the cargo bay. Bays should work fine for bombs since after they bays are opened, there's still a bit of time before the plane reaches the release point, but for now I wouldn't recommend using missiles in bays, especially for dogfights. 1 hour ago, arsyad100 said: I think I found something weird with my dogfight competition...

They do have different levels of sensitivity, but not range, since how far it can detect something also depends on how big the other vessel is and which way its flying.

I've noticed the AI throttles down when missiles are passing by. I guess this is because the heat seaking missiles actually model detecting the targets heat levels. In which case I'm impressed. (I guess you've explained this before, but I've not had much interest in this mod except for a few short tries of it until the awesome AI was introduced.) EDIT - Oh yeah I forgot, does this mean we can use heatsinks to make stealth craft? Since I presume the direction they're flying in depends if you can detect the engines? Or do you mean if it's rotated in a way that makes it's silhouette larger or smaller? 44 minutes ago, BahamutoD said: There could still be issues with the AI and cargo bays.

Can you make "lock on all closest" button for radars? Clicking on those tiny missiles wastes precious seconds before they impact your ship. 3 hours ago, Aegrim said: Am I doing something wrong?

Oh yeah, I didn't even notice that. Yes the yellow arrow on the bomb rack must point down (or whichever direction you want munitions to drop). As opposed to an auto lock, I just want to make it easier to click on targets. It's actually easier using the cursor that appears when you set up keys, so I'll probably use that code.

UnknownEclipse Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Would it be possible to add glide bomb guidance, similar to cruise guidance but with no thrust and cruises at the altitude launched.
