Description
The Royal Small Arms Factory ADEN is a 30 mm revolver cannon used on many military aircraft, particularly those of the British Royal Air Force and Fleet Air Arm. Developed post-World War II primarily to meet British Air Ministry's requirement for increased lethality in aircraft armament, the cannon was fired electrically and is fully automatic once it is loaded.(info from Wikipedia)

This is my attempt to try and make the ADEN 30mm cannon for Arma 3 it can be applied to most aircraft with the dynamic loadouts menu in the editor. I have tried to make this as close to the actual ADEN 30mm cannon as possible.

For those who are looking for JSRS soundmod support for this addon you can find it here (JSRS soundmod).

Addon features:

- ADEN 30mm cannon pod with 130 rounds with red or yellow or green tracers.

- Twin ADEN 30mm cannon pods with 300 rounds with red or yellow or green tracers.

- Can be used with any Addon aricraft that has an underbelly pylon.

- Can be used with Sabs aircraft addons.

- Can be used with CUP Harrier GR9.

- Can be used with Firewills Harrier GR7/GR9.

Future features:

- None at the moment. let me know if there is anything you want me to add.

Known issues:

- The gun pod might clip on some types of aircraft.

- Due to engine limitations with pylon pods there is no smoke or sheel ejection when firing.

notes:

- The weapon system is designed to be used on underbelly plane pylons.

- The gun pod is made up of various models from ARMA 2 and its DLCs.

Special thanks to:

- Bohemia interactive for the base textures and models.

- da12thMonkey for his or her info on making custom dynamic loadout weapons and pylons.

- RoF for surgesting I use Mikeros tools to make this.

Ah dang, so it's stuck there. No big deal though. I'll just bonk anyone who keeps using the double cannon like a doofus. :B

Thanks for reporting unfortunately the twin cannon uses the buzzards center pylon class so it can be used on different types of mod aircraft.

Also I found out why the vanilla 20mm gun pod doesn't work. Apparently the HMD mod breaks it. Just in case anyone was wondering. Unrelated to this mod, which is great.

The 30mm provides an excellent boost in firepower in exchange for less ammo capacity.

Hey, just a small bug report.

The vanilla Buzzard (aka L-139 ALCA) can equip the twin gun pods which is awfully silly considering that it floats above the model. This should be changed if possible. If it's not possible, no big deal, I'll just yell at my players not to mount that, but I saw some other planes only had access to the twin variant so I thought maybe it is possible.

It annoys me that Firewill's GR9 can't remove its targeting pod. Otherwise this mod is nice. This is of course not the fault of this mod author.

We have some strange bug in our game that prevents us from using the default 20mm cannon so this is a very good alternative. One of our mods broke it a while back and we never figured out which one.

Never mind I fixed it.

they should actually. The SAB_MILAVI_GUNPOD_ADEN is available only on the hawk so far, SAB_MILAVI_GUNPOD on all others that do not have an integrated weapon.

Are the pylon names implemented ive added them to the code but they are not showing up on your aircraft.
