| We need a vehicle for this tutorial, and I have picked the plane from tutorial 6. Its basically the same model from the end of the tut, with all the planeish features (flaps, rotors, etc) working nicely. All its missing is some firepower and that's what we`ll take care of now. Note that this tutorial will be useful for not just planes, but helicopters and most other vehicles in the game. Also, if you combine parts of this tutorial with tutorial 3 (the sniper rifle), you can do stuff like Rocket launchers for soldiers and the likes. | We need a vehicle for this tutorial, and I have picked the plane from tutorial 6.

Remember there is still much to learn and the OFP engine is often messing with you, so be careful, take it nice and slowly, do only one change at a time.
