104 and Mig issues

[Guest Maico]

Hi,

I am new to this forum and this sim. I had tried SFP 1 but retreated to safer virtual skys for a while. Now WOV has brought me back. Problem is that I imported the F-104G from SFP1 to WOV. Suddenly the missiles are gone and I cant find how to get the AIM 9s back on the plane. Same goes for the Migs. Only one of the (I beleive the MF) has all of its missiles. I can not get the Mig 19s missiles to show up.... What can I do to fix this?

 

Any help will be appreciated guys.

Two questions:

 

1.) Are the planes you transferred to WoV third-party aircraft or stock aircraft from SFP1?

 

2.) Are you using stock weapons or are you using Bunyap's Weapons Pack in WoV?

Ok, the migs were downloaded from this site. The 104 came from SFP. I did use the weapons pack. THis is what I beleive messed up the Migs weapons. I am just not sure what to do at this point.

Bunyap's weapons pack requires that some files (either/or plane_loadout.ini, plane_data.ini) need to be change to reflect the attachment and/or nation for the weapons.

 

It should be part of the weapons pack

Yeah, like capun said, you have some file editing to do.

In short, that is really it. I need to make changes in the files. I am quite confident with this but just dont know what to change.

There should be a file called WeaponsPack_AircraftData_16May06.rar

 

It has the required files for most of the planes.

Hi, Maico.

 

I'll paraphrase the Weapons Pack instructions. Basically, you have to update the data.ini and loadout.ini files of each aircraft to allow them to "read" the weapons in Bunyap's Weapons Pack.

 

I'll give you a fer instance.

 

Under the stock weps classification, Soviet aircraft loadup weapons under the classification 'WP'; you'll see that if you look in the data.ini files of the Soviet aircraft. 'WP' weps are what you see listed in the loadout screen for Soviet aircraft with a stock setup.

 

Bunyap's Weapons Pack changes all of that.

 

Soviet weapons in the Weapons Pack are categorized under the designation 'Soviet', not 'WP.' So if you don't change the data.ini and loadout.ini files of Soviet aircraft to reflect the changes in weapons classification, you could very well end up with no weps as a loadout option for your Soviet planes.

 

People have found ways to get around this new classification system by using the Weapons Editor, so if you want to go that route, that is certainly available to you. I'm not advocating one method over another. I just happen to prefer the route of updating the data.ini and loadout.ini files.

This is what I want to do Tristan. So do I change the words WP to Soviet?

In a nutshell, yes. You have to look for the 'AttachmentType' entries in the data.ini files of the aircraft; those represent the aircraft hardpoints, where you'll see designations like 'NATO', 'WP', and so on, depending on what kind of aircraft we're talking about.

 

If you have the file that capun referenced, you should mine that first, because it contains data.ini and loadout.ini files for a ton of different aircraft, updated for you in accordance with Bunyap's classification system. With those files, weps updating could simply be a matter of copying and pasting files into your aircraft directories.
