Missiles (fork feature?) unavailable
Closed this issue · 1 comments
What's your idea?
There are a few features in later versions like optional missiles that are missing. If I remember correctly, missiles are bombs that are not affected by gravity, but instead move forward at their own fixed velocity from the orientation of the plane at launch. You can find man pages with it as a commandline option, but I could not find much detail. I know I played a DOS version at some point that supported it (using SIMCGA on HGA graphics, most likely).
I wish I didn't have a hobby project I'm firmly committed to -- this is a great "recreation" (i.e., keeping it alive as a project) of the original, and I'd love to assist. But which original, I'm not sure, and I'm not sure how to interpret the first answer of the FAQ as to if it will be extended. I'd love to see some of the modded versions as options. I guess a second feature request here is clarification of intent: I'm not quite sure what this project is targeting as a goal.
I removed missiles as a feature a couple of years ago, you can read my rationale here:
If you really want them back (I can't imagine why), they're still available if you edit the config file manually to reenable them.

Please read PHILOSOPHY.md and feel free to ask questions if there are things it doesn't cover. Thanks!
