GunPAC System:
The GunPAC locks the aircraft into the correct pitch and heading to accurately engage targets with the GAU-8 at up to 1000 meters. It accounts for bullet drop and drag to maintain precise alignment while firing. Just drop to half throttle, enable the laser and locking, aim at the target, and fire.
To fly:
1. ensure throttle is at minimum
2. open the options menu on the right MFD (top right button)
-Select Canopy, Thrust, and Exterior lights (White C, Purple T, Yellow E)
-(Optional) select Stabilizer and GunPAC (Blue S, Red G)
3. toggle engine switch under left MFD
4. *Slowly* throttle up to about 1/3 or you lift up. Stormworks landing gear can be annoying.
5. once in the air, raise landing gear via the bottom left switch and throttle to desired speed.
Targeting Pod.
Top, bottom, left, and right buttons are to pivot the camera.
Plus and Minus buttons are zoom in and out.
Press in the center to lock it on target.
Use the center viewing scope to to full-screen. in full-screen, 3, 4, 5, 6 are up, down, left, and right. throttle is now used to zoom in and out (Plane maintains previous throttle when going fullscreen). 2 is lock target in full-screen.
