v0.5.1_server_beta

Server-Side Beta

Server-side version of the AIM-9X IR Missile Overhaul. Install on the server only — all connected players get the features without needing the mod on their client.

Changes from v0.5.1

• View-slaving replaced with target-directed LOAL steering (server steers missiles toward designated target position)
• WeaponInfo assets patched directly so firing gate changes propagate to all clients via asset sync
• All missile behavior (seeker, turning, flare memory, LOAL scan) runs server-side in ServerFixedUpdate

Features

• 90 degree off-boresight seeker with 180 degree firing gate
• Rear-hemisphere over-the-shoulder launches (LOAL mode beyond 90 degrees)
• Enhanced AIM-9X turning performance (TVC)
• Lock-On After Launch with IR target scanning
• Flare evasion memory with configurable threshold mode
• Target-directed LOAL steering for all players

v0.5.1

Changes since v0.5.0

• Flare evasion memory now uses the aircraft's actual IR output at the moment of evasion as the relock threshold (default behavior)
• Added UsePeakIRThreshold config option to use the previous peak-observed-IR behavior instead
• IR missiles without a lock steer toward the player's view direction while scanning for targets (EnableViewSlaving)
• Only player-launched missiles are view-slaved; AI missiles keep existing behavior
• Rear-hemisphere over-the-shoulder launches: firing gate opens to 180 degrees, targets beyond the 90 degree seeker cone launch the missile in LOAL mode
• Missile turns toward the player's view, acquires lock once the target enters the 90 degree seeker cone
• Added FiringGateAngle config (default 180) separate from OffBoresightAngle (default 90)

v0.5.0-beta: AIM-9X IR Missile Overhaul

AIM-9X IR Missile Overhaul - Beta Release

Features

• 90° High Off-Boresight (HOBS) launch for all IR missiles
• Enhanced Turning — TVC-class agility via boosted torque and PID turn rate
• Lock-On After Launch (LOAL) — seeker scans for IR targets in-flight if launched without lock
• Flare Evasion Memory — missile will not relock on a target that successfully flared unless its IR signature increases

Install

Drop AIM9XMod.dll into BepInEx/plugins/ in your Nuclear Option install.
