[GEN 3] A.S.T 4080E AWACS Avionics Bay

Credits!

Credit goes to Alpha Space Technologies for the development of the AWACS Avionics Bay. Fronolov and olivew greatly helped with the predecessor of this Avionics bay, the Fighter variant, to be precise, so they deserve credit. The 4th Gen Fly-By-Wire is made by Triton Aerospace

Activation Groups Setup

• Activation Group 5: Next Target (for target monitoring)
• Activation Group 7: Airspeed Autopilot

Bonus: if you decide to put this on your own AWACS, if it had a radome, its very useful to add an Activation Group that toggles the spinning radome on and off.

Instructions!

Simply save the avionics bay (big white box) to subassemblies and attach to your AWACS aircraft, then setup according Activation Groups (or change them to your liking). Thats it! You now have AWACS mechanics on your new aircraft!

Description!

The A.S.T 4080E is the AWACS variant of the original Avionics Bay. Connects to other systems carrying the GEN 3 fire control network, relaying target info to other crafts that carry this Gen 3 system, using its superior radar range and datalink system. Also compatible with A.S.T Network IFF, filtering friendlies from enemies.

Think of it like a starter kit for AWACS making!

Just drag and drop one of these bad boys to your aspiring AWACS aircraft, maybe add a decorative large radar/radome, and voilà! Not only do you have a functioning long range AWACS that can detect targets, but also relay them to other Gen 3 fire control network carrying crafts via datalink! It even includes 4th Gen Fly-By-Wire, used in partnership with Triton Aerospace!

Furthermore, it is also IFF compatible, so you can have friendlies automatically filtered from your enemies.

Known Issues/Bugs⚠️

• Accidentally forgot to completely remove the remnants of the CCIP computer from the AWACS computer. As such, when you click activation group 6, the target HUD will be replaced with a zero. To fix this, simply remove the if (activation group 6 = true) and display block under it in the Display Module, and replace it with the else block that contains the (display ( join (flight data)(targeting data))) block of code.
