This package contains a library of additional weapons designed
particularly to fit the SAAF Spitfire.
These weapons may be utilised in Payloads for other Aircraft
by appropriate editing of the DP file of a Default or MdlPatchW
patched Aircraft. Some of the objects have been designed so that
a Hardpoint location of 0,0,0 will place the object in the
correct location on the Spitfire Model. These are marked ** in
the descriptions below. To mount these on a different aircraft
a suitable Hardpoint location will need to be created.
Some Mounts are "Handed" - Different objects for Left and Right
wing mounting. This is because they are angled to match the
wing Dihedral for better appearance. These may not perfectly
match the Wing angle on other aircraft but should still work
better than the "straight down" alternative.
The Weapons :-
spit_slipper_tank **
A 45 gallon streamlined underbelly Droptank.
Note that a suitable Air file that includes correct settings
for Auxiliary fuel tanks will be required for this to function
correctly regarding Fuel capacity, weight and "dropability"
with other Aircraft
raf_pilot **
This is the pilot shown in the Spitfire Cockpit. Note that if
you add or edit the Spitfire Payloads you will need to have
the raf_pilot entry in each Payload for the pilot to be visible
when that payload is selected
spit_mount_std_L
spit_mount_std_R
The Left and Right standard mounts for the carrying of bombs
or Smoke Floats
spit_bomb_mount **
A central bomb mount on the centreline just behind the Air
intake
spit_rocket_mount
A tall, thin mount for mounting Rockets in a piggyback arrangement.
spit_m10_tubes_L
spit_m10_tubes_R
The Left and Right 3-Tube M10 "Bazooka" Rocket Launchers. These
should be used in conjunction with a spit_m10_rocket Mounted
as described below
spit_m10_rocket
This is the "Firing" part of the M10 setup. It should be placed
so that it is hidden by the 3-Tube launcher and the Payload entry
should be in the form :-
with a "3" as the second parameter. This is the Ammo-Level and will
allow 3 rockets to be fired from each 3-Tube mount.
These fire very quickly but using the keyboard Ordnance key allows
enough control to fire singly if required.
spit_rocket
An Alternative to the normal US 5" Rockets
spit_triplex
Triplex Rocket - these were made by putting 3 rocket motors from
the 3" rocket into a single rocket then using a 7.2" Howitzer shell
as the warhead
spit_bomb_250lb
spit_bomb_500lb
Alternative Bombs
spit_smokefloat
Visually a 250lb Canister that was used to drop smoke on water.
For the moment this will act the same as a 250lb Bomb
