Re: .Dat Variables
That all said though, I would expect there is a TURRETPOWER .dat line or something. Perhaps try looking through some Japanese packs.

Re: .Dat Variables
Ground objects can also have MINIDAMG that specifies the low damage threshold, below which nothing happens to them.
The two options would be to decrease the firing interval or duplicate the turret several times, but neither will defeat a MINIDAMG higher than GUNPOWER.

Re: .Dat Variables
I believe all turrets have power 1 by default, so making an anti-shipping gun would take about 10 turrets with same coordinates.
For WW2 fighters and a 'cluster-effect' you can also slightly alter the gun's degree settings (see my A-10 mod for example). With WW2 fighter guns you can then have the 'X' trajectories set (I think my P-51 and P-47 mods have this), which is more fun than shooting straight.

Re: .Dat Variables
are tons metric or standard? I have assumed that 1 ton equals 2000 pounds, but am starting to question that.EXAMPLE wrote:WEIGHCLN 19.0t #WEIGHT CLEAN
WEIGFUEL 3.7t #WEIGHT OF FUEL
WEIGLOAD 3.0t #WEIGHT OF PAYLOAD

Re: .Dat Variables
Burning 100 kg of fuel, 1 ton went away in 10.3 seconds.
1 kg is roughly 2.2 pounds.
100 kg is about 220 pounds. If I was burning 100 kg of fuel every second, it should have taken about 4 seconds to empty, not a full 10 seconds.
My conclusion is that either I'm bad at math, or weight in YSF is measured in metric tons, which means if an aircraft weights 22,000 lbs empty, the .dat should say 10t.

.Dat Variables
GUNSIGHT TRUE/FALSE
Allows the aircraft to have radar ranging gunsight. If left out of the .dat, YS assumes TRUE.
Found this while digging in the GAC MiG-15 .dat.
