Getting the error that the vehicle class AC-130U doesn't exist, how do I fix this?

🐞In Warlords mode, this beautiful aircraft is dropped by parachute as a ground vehicle (although it should land on the runway) and you cannot board it after landing. I believe that the vehicle type is not inherited as an aircraft, but I do not understand this. That's what the chatGPT told me.
And there is no image on the preview - errors pop up in the Warlords purchase window because of this.

@Slothman To be clear i haven't downloaded the mod yet.Have you tried giving the plane a "Loiter" waypoint?it makes the ai fly in a designated circle around the waypoint. (double click the waypoint to designate the altitude, direction,and radius of the circle they fly) i hope this helps! im not online often so if you have other questions, you sadly may not get a speedy reply. (this is my first comment here and im also not 100% sure on how replies work on steam)

it works perfectly if u know what to do. all known problems are solved here in the discussion.

try my AC130 scenario at

https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2910951090

and see fpr yourself.

There is instructins for the whole plane control there, also how to aim with the GREEN crosshair
and ranges/angles.
Slothman 18 Jan @ 1:22am 
not really sure how to get AI to utilize it, they just fly into the enemy like a suicide drone
ARoyaleWithTrees 15 Jan @ 7:33pm 
Mod works as intended for the most part, but the guns don't seem to shoot as to where im aiming, i notice a crosshair that doesn't like up with where im aiming but the guns targeting seems to have a mind of its own. or im just stupid idk lol

Why my plane alway crashing after take off?
WO_Viper 9 Jan @ 5:25pm 
you start off in the pilot seat...take off and once airborne go into "autopilot GS" once you select ur ALT,radius and speed and click on the "aap ON" button,you will be moved into another seat....if you want to return to pilot you simply need to return to "autopilot GS" and tick aap OFF" you'll be returned to pilot.

The mod is amazing. The only problem is after player enable Auto Pilot to loiter above the target area and smoked the enemy he cannot take back the control of the pilot! If you have Team Switch you can switch to copilot but forget about Landing Autopilot - you have to land manually.
Mad_Cheese 11 Dec, 2024 @ 1:44am 
Really amazing work - one issue I have is with AI controlled gunships: Editor placed gunships work and the AI flies the plane well. Spawning it into the mission and populating with 'createVehicleCrew' spawns plane and crew but the plane crashes every time.
lordjake737 2 Dec, 2024 @ 9:52pm 
AI wont fire
Wanuboi 30 Nov, 2024 @ 2:57am 
The only time it work it's when i pilot it myself but idc of piloting it
Wanuboi 30 Nov, 2024 @ 2:56am 
It detect ennemy apparently and it not shoot them but instead go directly crash at them, wtf ^^
Wanuboi 30 Nov, 2024 @ 2:54am 
AC 130 just crash all time, i put him high in the air, use flyinHeight or not, whatever i do, it goest straight to the grown after it spawn
diegomg97 4 Nov, 2024 @ 3:00pm 
In case you dotn´t know how to use all weapons from pilot seat, you have to select GAU 12 first, the use Ctrl + F to change copilot weapon to laser, then you can use the 40mm or the Howtwizer. Then you repeat the process using Ctrl + F until your copilot is on laser and then picking the last weapon from the interaction menu. You only have to do this the first time, from this point you can cycle between all weapons using F.
hopulikjamin3 27 Oct, 2024 @ 3:45am 
Fantastic mod. It cant seem to see IR grenades or des.lasers in thermal. Makes it harder to operate. Also, would it be possible to tune the Auto Pilot AI?
And to make it fly level when the parameter window is opened?

It meanders heading towards the target area and enters a nose dive as you get your waypoint down so you have to speed run entering your alt, patrad and airspeed.

Lastly Tracers? IDK if it normally has them but being able to see the rounds hit would add to the experience A LOT

Other than that its perfect. Been extracting targets from a city with a heli using the AC130 as CAS.

Friend can't see ac-130 I spawn
Toppet 28 Aug, 2024 @ 6:48am 
How to make it be controlled by AI?

Thank you TuFI

FOR EVERYONE that is having problems getting access to all of the GUNS from the PILOTSEAT:


A friend of mine and me are doing a Antistasi playtrough and thought it be cool to do some missions with this amazing piece of equipment. just being the two of us it is crucial for me to be able to solo the AC (no AI required), while he does his magic on the ground. But as we all know unfortunatly the mod is a bit broken.

SO we did some fooling around and found out that if you > enable, disable, enable the autopilot you should get access to all of the guns. this worked for us and solo'ing is definitely possible this way.


one a side note: what I also came across is that the autopilot doesn't listen to to the speed that I write down. Only after I "backspace" the speed at least once and then add the number back, does it proceed to go to the correct speed.


I hope this helps a few if not all of you out, as it still is the question when the next update/fix will arive IF EVER....
X_SPOOKY_X 20 Jul, 2024 @ 6:30pm 
how do you zoom in and out while in the gunner seat?
N7/] Executive Outcomes 15 Jul, 2024 @ 7:40am 
I'm having a weird bug. The mod works fine EXCEPT the guns have no effect on targets. That is, when I fire either the 105 or the GAU; I hear the sound. But nothing happens, no explosion and no damage. WTF?
kiba3x 20 Jun, 2024 @ 4:49am 
pls make this standalone, thank u :Currency:
quast 11 Jun, 2024 @ 8:06am 
can i have another play in the ir seat and turn on the auto pilot, does it kick them out

spidvej 22 May, 2024 @ 12:02pm 
when im in gunner mode. i can only shoot the gau minigun and the 105. I cant shoot or activate the 40mm canon
TYBEROS THE ANGRY 18 May, 2024 @ 5:14pm 
do you mind telling me what thermal mods and explosion debris effects you were using in the youtube video link on this mod page
WallaWalla 22 Apr, 2024 @ 9:19pm 
How do I get this to appear as a Support in Dynamic combat missions? i try loading the USAF mod but only C-130Js show up. not the AC-130U
Magic 27 Mar, 2024 @ 1:25pm 
We need B1B and B-2, and we hope the author can do it as soon as possible. Additionally, if it is paid, it would be good
Piotr Andreevich 24 Feb, 2024 @ 8:18am 
how is the code to spawn this air plane in scenario missions
Faneto4400 21 Jan, 2024 @ 8:33am 
@Eyuep, using Drongos artillery and air operations does in fact make it possible to use AI for support
Eyuep 8 Jan, 2024 @ 7:10am 
can i make ai fire support with the ac-130 or is this only player usable?
Obamacare189 21 Nov, 2023 @ 5:35pm 
is there a chance to were we can control the bofors cannon agian
kiba3x 20 Nov, 2023 @ 10:41pm 
This awesome mod deserves to be standalone. :steamthumbsup:

The side hud seem not to work in zeus, is there any way around it, or is it merely restricted to an eden editor/pre-made scenarios?
Dark Reaper 23 Oct, 2023 @ 3:22pm 
where do i find it ? i cant seem to find it
Halfeatendorito 13 Oct, 2023 @ 8:08am 
Is there any way to shitch to AP rounds on the howitzer so i can destroy tanks?
Hugofoxli 2 Oct, 2023 @ 11:24am 
@LeeAnderson youi can change the Side of the pilot in Zeus. But you have to redo it everytime you go out and back into the AutoPilot.

Now question to anyone. The 105mm seems to always fire bottom right. I am lasing the target with auto Ranging. the Gau and Mk hit on spot except the 105.
josh 2 Sep, 2023 @ 2:41am 
Hi I found that the ai can't attack with the cannons because they just charge the ennemy and that all thank you if you fix that

TheDreamer 5 Aug, 2023 @ 7:40am 
Only issue I have is that the autopilot will ALWAYS be bluefor, making it pretty much useless in any gamemode where you're not since you'll just be shot down by friendly AA.

august 2023, it still beta...
