Multible Center Pylons

[ravenclaw_007]

i have a problem , on the F-4 Phantom where 2 pylons used on the centerline , one for the TER and one for the MER the Mer pylon is inclined by 2 degrees the TER pylon is a bit shorter and is not inclined and can be used for a single weapon

my problem in game is that both pylons uses bombs and the game adds them outomaticaly up to 2 if i like to select a single bomb , actualy a single bomb can not be selected on the loadout the minmum would be 2 

this is the entry for the two pylons , maybe somebody knows a solution to my problem

[CenterlineStation_TER]
SystemType=WEAPON_STATION
StationID=5
StationGroupID=6
StationType=EXTERNAL
AttachmentPosition=0.0,-1.691,-1.1
AttachmentAngles=0.0,0.0,0.0
LoadLimit=2050
AllowedWeaponClass=BOMB,LGB,IFP,DLP,TER,LP
AttachmentType=NATO,USAF
ModelNodeName=pylon_centerline_ter
PylonMass=32.21
PylonDragArea=0.02
LaunchRailNodeName=
MinExtentPosition=
MaxExtentPosition=

[CenterlineStation_MER]
SystemType=WEAPON_STATION
StationID=31
StationGroupID=6
StationType=EXTERNAL
AttachmentPosition=0.0,-1.634,-1.05
AttachmentAngles=0.0,-2.0,0.0
LoadLimit=2050
AllowedWeaponClass=Bomb,MER
AttachmentType=NATO,USAF
ModelNodeName=pylon_centerline_mer

 

this are the two pylons 

PylonMass=32.21
PylonDragArea=0.02
LaunchRailNodeName=
MinExtentPosition=
MaxExtentPosition=
RackSpecificStationCode=MER_F-4

after locking closely to the above pictures it seems that the TER rack is also by 2 degrees inclined

not saying it cant be done, i just dont recall ever seeing a centerline only loaded with a TER. sort of makes sense that if youre gonna give up 600 gallons of fuel, you'd carry max ordinance there

[ravenclaw_007]

you would need the TSC adapter also for a single weapon like a nuc or a gunpod an the C(D

I was thinking about using GroupLimit but you're already at 6 user visible groups. Maybe move the Sidewinder or Sparrow stations to group 7 and have them managed by the loadout.ini ?

Just a dumb idea. If you set these stations with the HideNodeName= parameter respectively for each of the above, will it do the same double loadout when selecting 3 or 6 bombs?

 

The bellow is just an example I use on the AT-5 to hide a mesh when wingtip rails used.

[LeftWingTipStation]
SystemType=WEAPON_STATION
StationID=8
StationGroupID=1
StationType=EXTERNAL
AttachmentPosition=-4.625,-1.14,-0.096
AttachmentAngles=0.0,-2.0,90.0
LoadLimit=125.0
AllowedWeaponClass=IRM
AttachmentType=NATO,TAIWAN
ModelNodeName=WingtipL
PylonMass=61.23
PylonDragArea=0.02
HideNodeName=WingletL

 

Alternative could be the application of SpecificStationCode= for the MER, though you will need to determine (make weapons with that entry) those "few" things you want it to be used for.
