Simpleplanes inferno overload commands

What is Overload in SimplePlanes?

Understanding the Inferno Missile

The Inferno is an air-to-ground missile with excellent targeting abilities, usually employed to destroy ground targets like tanks or ships. Out of the box, it has several limitations in speed, range, and maneuverability, which can be enhanced using overload commands.

Basic Overload Properties for the Inferno Missile

Here are some of the core properties of the Inferno missile that can be altered via the Overload tool:

• MaxRange: Defines how far the missile can travel before self-destructing. Increasing this value allows for long-range strikes.
• MaxSpeed: Controls the top speed of the missile. A higher value increases the missile’s speed, making it more difficult for targets to evade.
• BurnTime: Determines how long the missile’s engine will burn. Extending this can allow the missile to travel farther.
• TurnRate: Affects how sharply the missile can turn while tracking its target. Increasing this can make the missile more agile, helping it hit moving or evasive targets.
• LockTime: This variable controls how quickly the missile can lock onto a target. Decreasing this will make it lock faster.
• 

Advanced Inferno Overload Commands

In addition to the basic parameters, the following advanced settings can be manipulated for enhanced performance:

• MaxFuelTime: This adjusts how long the missile has fuel for its motor. By increasing this, the missile can travel greater distances before running out of fuel.
• Agility: Modifies the missile’s ability to maneuver. This is particularly useful when targeting fast-moving vehicles or aircraft.
• TargetTrackingRange: Changes the range at which the missile can track a target. Higher values allow for better target acquisition from greater distances.
• ExplosivePower: Defines the strength of the missile’s warhead. Increasing this will make the missile more destructive.
• IgnitionDelay: This command lets you set a delay for when the missile will ignite after being launched.
• RadarDetectionRange: Affects the missile’s ability to detect and lock onto a radar signature from a distance.

How to Use Overload for the Inferno Missile

To apply these overload commands, follow these steps:

1. Access Overload Tool: In the parts menu, click on the wrench icon (or the part’s properties button), and then select “Overload” to access advanced settings for that part.
2. Select Inferno Missile: Locate the Inferno missile in your parts list, then open the overload menu for that missile.
3. Edit the Variables: Enter the commands for the properties you wish to modify. For example, to increase the range of your Inferno missile, find or add the MaxRange command and input a higher value.
4. Test and Fine-tune: After making changes, test your missile’s performance in the sandbox or missions. Keep adjusting the variables until you find the right balance between speed, range, and agility.

Sample Overload Commands for the Inferno Missile

Here are some example overload commands that you can copy-paste into the overload menu:

• MaxRange: 5000
  (Increases missile range to 5000 units)
• MaxSpeed: 1200
  (Sets the missile’s speed to 1200 units)
• BurnTime: 30
  (Increases burn time to 30 seconds)
• TurnRate: 50
  (Increases turn rate to improve missile agility)
• LockTime: 0.5
  (Decreases lock time to 0.5 seconds, making it lock onto targets faster)
• ExplosivePower: 2000
  (Increases the explosive yield to 2000 units)

Tips for Using Overload with Inferno Missiles

• Balancing Speed and Maneuverability: A missile with a very high speed may be harder to control, so balancing speed with agility is key to ensuring your missile can hit its target.
• Range vs. Burn Time: Increasing the range too much without extending the burn time may cause the missile to lose power and fall short of its target.
• Testing: Always test changes in a controlled environment before using your modified missile in actual gameplay. This ensures that your changes work as intended.

Common Issues with Overload Commands

• Missile Not Locking: If your missile isn’t locking onto targets, check that the LockTime and TargetTrackingRange are set to reasonable values.
• Missile Self-Destructing Prematurely: This could be due to a low MaxRange or BurnTime value. Increase these to ensure the missile has enough fuel and range to reach its target.
• Poor Maneuverability: A low TurnRate or Agility may cause the missile to miss fast-moving targets. Increase these variables for better targeting performance.
• 

Best Practices for Inferno Missile Overload

• Fine-tune one variable at a time to understand how each affects the missile’s performance.
• Use moderate values when adjusting explosive power or speed to avoid making the missile overpowered or uncontrollable.
• Save multiple versions of your aircraft or missile setup to easily revert changes if the modifications don’t perform as expected.

Conclusion

Mastering the simpleplanes inferno overload commands can elevate your gameplay by giving you greater control over missile behavior. Whether you’re adjusting range, speed, or maneuverability, these commands provide the flexibility needed to tackle any challenge, whether it’s a distant stationary target or a fast-moving vehicle. Experiment with different settings and become an expert in missile customization for maximum effect!

FAQs

1. How do I access Overload in SimplePlanes?
   • You can access Overload by selecting a part, clicking the wrench icon, and choosing “Overload” to modify advanced settings.
2. What does MaxRange do for the Inferno missile?
   • The MaxRange command defines how far the missile can travel before self-destructing.
3. How can I make my Inferno missile faster?
   • Increase the MaxSpeed value in the overload settings to enhance missile speed.
4. Why is my missile missing its target?
   • If your missile is missing, try increasing the TurnRate or Agility values for better maneuverability.
5. How do I improve the explosion power of the Inferno missile?
   • Modify the ExplosivePower setting in the Overload tool to increase the damage radius of the missile.
6. What is LockTime in Overload settings?
   • LockTime controls how quickly the missile locks onto a target. Lowering this value makes it lock faster.
