VR-Forces has systems for several missile launchers.

They provide a system of controller and actuator components that comprise a model of an airborne missile launcher. The systems are configured on several fixed-wing and rotary-wing entities in VR-Forces. Similar missile systems exist for configuration on other types of entities (see the Entity Editor and/or OPD Editor to see the various types of weapon systems available).

Defined in system definition file: fixed-maverick-missile-launcher.sysdef
fixed-sidewinder-missile-launcher.sysdef This system can be configured as part of a rotary-wing entity.
