Predator Missile

Predator Missile

Predator Missile is a standalone guided-missile mod that lets you control a missile through a thermal-style camera.

Launch the missile from above, guide it with your mouse, and continue steering until impact or signal loss. The mod includes three warhead types, custom flight audio, smoke and fire trails, warnings, and impact effects.

Standalone mod: Immersive Aircraft is not required. Outside Creative mode, the targeter is consumed after launch. Each player can guide one missile at a time.

Features

• Direct mouse-controlled missile guidance
• Thermal-style missile camera
• Signal-strength and connection-loss warnings
• Three selectable warhead types
• Custom missile model and animations
• Launch, flight, and impact sounds
• Smoke and fire trail effects

2. Use the targeter to launch a missile.
