I found a certain plane here that i wanted  but the dp is a lil goofy, there is to guns, one on each wing(not including tail gun). when i hit the trigger the guns fire and the tracers stream out from each gun. BUT as i hold the trigger i notice that some tracers are leaving the end of my nose! and there isnt a gun there.

After tooling around the dp i found nothing significantly wrong, there are only two guns(not including tail gun), a rocket, and a bomb i cant figure out why there are tracers leaving the barrel of the guns and my nose

here is the gunstation

; Starboard Guns
gunstation.0=1,31,2,0.1,900,2,0.05,500,5,40,1d1*32,0.53,0.15,3.1,0.1196512687590

any help? ???

did that too  i even deleted both guns and added them in one gunstation i.e.
[gunstation.0]=1,31,2,0.1,900,2,0.05,500,5,.......etc

[guns.0]
gun.0=84375937473.... etc
gun.1=34589384534.... etc

and that didnt work

tried that too.... with no avail.... I thought it may be because the rounds are moving to slow (there for unstable)but i reloaded the original dp and the tracers are really moving fast but some still come out of the nose. i have noticed this on other aircraft with rounds flying randomly out of the face of the aircraft ( nose, canopy, prop disk, wing roots)  ???

here is a pic notice the gun flashes and then the tracer position.



Darn alien conspiracy  

Greetings,
I found it to be just a bit of a quirk in CFS2.  Its not the way they appear to come out, its so long as they hit what you are aiming for!

Hagar,  if I was a Jerry pilot in a 109 and was on the tail of this plane I would say that was a Sturmovik IL2.  The details regarding the guns indicate that the trigger key 1 was allocated to a SHvak 23mm wing guns with a SHvak 12.5mm tail gun.
The positioning of guns.0 and guns.1 indicate that the author did not place the guns symetrically.  The first number indicates the number of bullets.  The second indicates the lateral position of the guns, the third is the vertical position and the fourth is the horizontal.  Please note that only the vertical numbers are identical.

The apparent nose gun is the rear gun, when firing sometimes due to a fault in CFS2 appears to be shooting forward.

Hagar, as to the CDP file, it is written everytime the plane is launched.  It always overwrties the previous version.  Dunno why.

Thanks

I'm no authority on DP editing but every tute I've read on the subject says to delete the CDP each time you edit a DP. This would seem to indicate that it's not overwritten but a new one is created from the data in the edited DP file.

This is the WTF moment for me so far this year.... trying bomb loads on the IL-2 and I was banking when i shot at a ground structure   the tracers come out of the "aircaft" parallel to the ground i was near 90* and tracers were leaving the belly and canopy and even past the dorsal and ventral sides i think it is something in the mdl that's causing the tracers to leave different points on the aircraft.

  Well at least it looks a lil better and is in real camo

I have no idea, i just know that the weapons that came with it arent the worlds greatest, you may want to change them to something you like or delete them all togther. And I may have screwed thing up even though, there are two different IL-2 M3's

Thanks for that Editor but the rogue tracer flashes seem to come from the forward firing guns that are assigned to the Cannon trigger. Maybe you can suggest the reason for it.
