I just added a couple of new event sets. The first set is:

EVT_CANNON_1_READY,
EVT_CANNON_2_READY,
EVT_CANNON_3_READY,
EVT_CANNON_4_READY,
EVT_CANNON_5_READY,
EVT_CANNON_6_READY,
EVT_CANNON_7_READY,
EVT_CANNON_8_READY

These events do the following:

That is freaking awesome!

First it actually took me a moment to realize what was actually changed... but that's amazing!

Yeah, the effect is a little subtle, but now it's available for any cockpit authors that want to use it!
