Voyager Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 I have discovered that Armourdave's F-105D add-on aircraft for SFP1 can carry five Mk-118 bombs. Could this plane do it in reality? I am a quite sceptical on it... Quote

I am a quite sceptical on it... iirc the payload for an F-105 was up to 14,000lbs so probably not 5 Mk. 118s. Quote
+Crusader Posted November 22, 2006 Posted November 22, 2006 (edited) M118 and MK84 were only cleared for the 2 inboard stations. MK83 and below for all 5 stations. Info is from a USAF loadout chart, 1971 for the 105. Edited November 22, 2006 by Crusader Quote
Voyager Posted November 22, 2006 Author Posted November 22, 2006 (edited) Mr. Crusader: If you have an original F-105's loadout chart from USAF you can give me a maximum loadout of each weapons station in pounds or kilograms. I would be very grateful! Edited November 22, 2006 by Voyager Quote

+Dave Posted November 22, 2006 Posted November 22, 2006 Hmm I just looked at my AD Thuds and I can't load 5 Mk118's. Something must be screwy with your loadout.ini file. I prefer AD's F-105 to the default F-105. But yes get YAP for good missions. Quote

In all my "F-105D-25/D-31/F_data.ini" files I have found that entire underwing pylons have LoadLimit parameter set to 1400 and centerline weapons station has "LoadLimit=3200". So, in this configuration all "Thuds" can carry 4x1400+3200=8800 kilograms of bombs, pretty good for five Mk118s. Are in your "data.ini" files similiar loadout parameters? Quote

Yes they but it will only let me load one. Odd indeed. When I get back home on Friday we need to compare notes.... Quote
