Combat Flight Simulator 2
Extra Weapons Library
Currently under initial development Weapons_plus.bgl is an additional Weapons Library that increases the number of payloads that can be used with Aircraft that support the Payload system in CFS2. Some Weapons are intended for more Modern Aircraft but there few (if any) that yet support CFS2 payloads. This Library will exist alongside the default weapons library and will not affect Payloads using the original objects in any way
Restrictions
Because of the restrictions of the CFS2 payload system new weapons can only do one of the existing actions (drop, drop & explode, drop & torpedo or Rocket). Damage can be set appropriately in the DP for the object but the visual effects when the weapon impacts are restricted to the existing ones.
Suggestions
Open to suggestions for further weapons to include in the Library (but please bear in mind the restrictions listed above! Not everything is possible......yet.)
All these weapons are initial experimental versions. The object DP files have been created quickly and are subject to change as more testing is done or more data obtained. I am not presenting these as Historically accurate weapons. More as an ongoing experiment into what can be done with the Weapons system in CFS2
