Single weapons stations per aircraft

[DEVIL11]

Hello I was wondering if there is a way u can have single weapons stations for example I wanna fly an F-16 with 1 station GBU12 and the other hard point GBU-31 is it possible

its possible but you really gotta pay attention to what youre doing

the big issue actually is not weapon stations (you can have up to 32 of these) but station groups, of which you can only have 6

but yes, you could technically adjust stations 4 and 5 so they are in seperate station groups

How would I be able to do that

in the data ini

Is there something I should change 

[+daddyairplanes]

yes, but this is the part where i or any of the other modders tell you to read through the  Knowledge Base

yes, thats the SF1 Knowledge base, but the lessons apply in Gen 2

Actually, you're outta luck on the F-16s. They don't have enough weapons groups for the split you wish. You're stuck with what's there already.

In ODS30AE, we did it in a few aircraft, and even in birds that did not have enough weapon groups to spare. Example - F/A-18 A/C... Since wingtip launchers are only to carry Sidewinders and in general there are not many options to change that (it is just sidewinder, so why would you change something - (Unless you have a modern setup and want to load AIM-120 on your F-16), we made them as weapon group=8- invisible in loadout menu but fully functional. Thanks to that, we gained one weapon group on the wing station for an asymmetrical loadout.

We have 8 weapon groups on F-18. 7th is for laser pods (loaded via loadout.ini) and 8th is for Sidewinders (also loaded via loadout.ini)

 

 

ok.I just launched ODS30AE...We did that on F-16 too. We have 7 group stations on F-16. The 7th is for ECM, which is always loaded.

not necessarily. i actually give a hint to those who work inis regular when i mention stations 4 and 5.

i knew cause i looked it up

The other alternative is to have a custom loadout with the bomb/weapon station configuration you want that you can then use in single missions run through the mission editor.
