PLSL to GMGP - Guided Microjet Gun Pod

PLSL to GMGP - Guided Microjet Gun Pod

This mod changes the base game's PLSL file data with that of my modded GMGP file data, effectively swapping the PLSL with the GMGP. This is the same weapon as seen in the F-15C Smart Eagle Custom Loadout. The GMGP takes the place of the F-15C's PLSL using the same pod weapon mount graphics in that loadout, so I thought why not do the same for other planes that use the PLSL?

Will affect all planes with the base game PLSL weapon, which by default means the following:

• []F-15C

  []MiG-31B

  []SU-57

  []DarkStar

  Does NOT affect the PLSGUN weapon used by the ADF-11F Raven and DarkStar that replaces the default gun, only the PLSL pod special weapon.

  If you have other plane addon or weapon swap mods that use PLSL, if they use the base game's PLSL weapon file they may also be affected.

  This mod does not modify the PPDT so ammo counts are unaffected, but with base game PLSL ammo counts you would be hard pressed to actually run out.

  NOTE: The weapon will still display as PLSL in the hangar. In-game, it will display as GRKT.

  ----SPW OVERVIEW----

  GMGP - Guided Microjet Gun Pod - 10 round burst per 1 ammo

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

  A "smart gun." The GMGP is a linked burst fire gun pod inspired by gyrojet weapons. Instead of gunpowder propelled bullets, this gun pod fires microjets: rounds that are self propelled via rockets. And in this case, they home into a radar locked target. Each pull of the trigger fires a five round burst from each pod for ten rounds total.

  Screenshots don't really do it justice with how quickly it fires, so I recommend checking out the video section for a demonstration.

  The rounds have excellent proportional guidance but weak turn rate and total turning radius compared to a missile. As a result, the homing is at its best when near its maximum lock range of 3000. At shorter ranges, you will need to be more dead center with your aim, and lead fast moving targets. The weapon has a PLSL/TLS/EML style targeting reticule to aid in short range aiming that turns red at 1000, the range under which you typically need to aim tighter or to lead targets.

  Because of the initial high speed, you can some times curve the rounds around obstacles if the positioning of you, the target, and the obstacle is just right.

  ----COMPATIBILITY----

  This mod is incompatible with other mods that modify the PLSL. This mod does NOT modify the PPDT, so it should only conflict with mods that modify the base game's PLSL file. As mentioned above, if you have other mods that use the base game's PLSL file, those mods may be affected as well.
