P38 Lightning Autonomous Patrol Htown

Description
The P-38 Lightning WWII Twin engine fighter bomber.

AUTONOMOUS ATTACKING WIP - THIS PLANE CAN SHOOT DOWN OTHER AIRCRAFT WITHOUT A PILOT.

This one has a few unique functions

WEAPONS -
2 Nose mounted Light AC with plenty of rounds
1 Nose mounted Heavy AC also with plenty of rounds
2 x MG nose mounted + 4 on wings.

This aircraft packs quite a punch & is 1 of 6 WWII aircraft to come'

FEATURES -



Able to patrol at the Autopilot way point in a circuit 500m-1.5 km from GPS target area designated by keypad Key 6 activates AP for destination and an independent switch will turn on autonomous mode. This is real cool to watch them slug it out,
NOTE - The on switch for AI Autonomous activation is below the parking brakes. it works but is still WIP suggestion welcome.

IFF -
When active it will hold fire on friendly aircraft within 0.8 KM a light in the tail will represent holding fire.
this is done by radio signal and a code is sent,if it matches then weapons hold if not then open season for attack.
The IFF transponder channel can be changed but is set at 000 for default
This is handy when flying next to auto firing bombers. the MC is quite simple and plug and play.

FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM
Below the HUD are two triangle switches above IFF control they can extinguish fires on the engines when needed.

CARGO COMPARTMENT -
There is a basic store of equipment and ammo access slots at the rear of the main body.


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

Startup

Magnetos
Fuel pumps
Starter in that order

Gear up ... and off you go the engines are quite heat efficient of kept at low RPS but will take a while to cook but worth keeping an eye on it.

There is also an interactive map, at the top right there is a small circle button to access the zoom functions. worth knowing.

I hope you have fun with it leave a comment if you have any queries or issues.
For the cause !

Awesome. I'll give it a whirl and see how it performs

Fair enough... ***UPDATED***
Drop tanks carry more, vented around 600L per tank
Fuel inlets on both booms
Better flight handling (slower = more manoeuvrable)
Added slightly more weight to nose & sits stable at the time of current version ( Unsure about multiplayer)
A few minor paint touchups also.
There are heater on this craft at the pilots right elbow.

Shes a good ship and deserves a refresh. I redid the fuel drop tanks to allow a fill port and gauge and added a gas vent to prevent air bubbles. My WWII fuel tankers were knackered from the space update and I finally got around to fixing the issues.

She's an oldy, and I think the tanks feed through the tail for both booms? . It was fine till some updates gave it some problems. Haven't touched her for a while.

Also missing a way to fill up the left boom tank. another thing is to add a gauge to the outside of the drop tank to and a way to fill them up if needed

Love the Lightning its my favorite aircraft!

Only critique I can find is that you might need to add dampners to the control surfaces because its twitchy as hell

Also you might want to add some weight to the nose to keep the nose gear on the ground
