So after DL'ing all the patches... and the weapons pack.... and the F-104.... and the F-14, I tried running a single mission in my Starfighter (one of my favorite planes) and for some darn reason all I can load up is Fuel tanks?

I'd start by checking the data .ini for the 104 and see what is listed under the weapon stations. I don't know anything about the 104, but if you wnat it to carry bombs you may have to add that weapon catagory to the ini. I'm sure there are more knowledgable folks here who could figure the problem in a second, but that's where I would start looking.

You'll have to edit the Data.ini and, possibly, the Loadout.ini files to allow the plane to use the weapons in the Weapons Pack. Check the WP instruction manual.

Here's a "How to" article from the knowledge base on editing weapons:

The most important question.....

 

Which F-104???

 

There are at least 4 by Ajundar, plus the G from 3rd Wire.

 

To get the loads right, we need to know which model.

I think you need to focus on the 'AttachmentType' at each weapon station in the 'Data.ini' file. Stock des. is probably 'NATO'; you'll have to change that to something more specific, like 'USAF'.

If you open your data ini, you'll see the AttachmentType=NATO . This is now wrong for use with the Weapons pak

Copy/Paste in info above directly OVER the weapons station in you 104G data ini. That should get you going.

 

You guys are all jumping ahead of me...I just started on editing the Paki Zippers...give me some time to get caught up! There's still all the Indian MiGs, (most PLAAF stuff is done and posted); I haven't even started on the RAF, ADA, and all the other Friendly Powers, let alone of Commies and Close Buddies!!! :wink:

the 104 is acctually a very stable bombing platform, just as long as you keep the speed up.

Right. The Pakistani F-104s scored more hits with bombs then F-86s and B-57s. One many missions,their F-104s did not carry any bombs and carried out harassing gun attacks on Indian airfields(one a couple of occaisions, with disastrous effect for Pakistanis and Jordanians). They used their F-104Bs in possibly the most unusual and crazy type of photo-recon missions.
