Have you altered the geometry of the side turrets for the X-ray lasers? The reason I ask is that I created lasers some time ago for the equivalent turrets on the existing Hyperion and they refused to fire forward....

Just curious!

They were made to fire forwards via modifying turret normal and firing arc, standard FS2 modding. They do have new geometries as well.

So they are actually real X-Ray Laser batteries and not turrets. Looks cool...decreases the fighter defense a bit, but thats what your own fighters are supposed to do.

Edit: To clarrify, the Midwinter is actually a separate model with an extra texture map for the turret. Its basically the same, but not quite.

Sweet
It does look funny at the moment puting lasers on turrets as the laser goes through the ship to hit its target
