A-7 blowing up on the ground

[Atreides 144]

Ok, again let me start by saying I truly have followed all the installation instructions of service pack and patching to the letter and all generally work's fine. Installed the A-7 and for some reason, every other aircraft except mine and my trusty wingman start's to bounce a little on the taxiway, then alot and then the poor S.O.B's blow up. What give's ? Any idea's ?

Try this in the data.ini by replacing the current entries.

Worked like a charm. You Suh are a true gentleman.

One more thing, sorry, different aircraft but I thought I'd use the same topic instead of opening a new one. I've noticed when flying the MIG-27 and firing the UB or is UV32 rockets from the external view (side) them seem to fly straight and true to their target but from the cockpit view I cant even see see them they're not even visible below the reticle. Sorry for being pain. Is this once again an issue with the data.ini ?

No that is a individual weapons issue and I have no idea how to fix that.
