Weapon problems come back again

[Gailen]

Well, now I've another problem with the weapons. It hapens with the Sidewinders.

 

I am using the add-on aircraft found here FA-37 Talon (the one from the film Stealth), and now, Ican't fire the Sidewinders. When I switch them, it appears a big circle and another smaller isnide it in the HUD. And I can't hear the noise of the heat-seeker head. So, when I fire it, the weapon simply follows straight ahead.

 

Anyone knows how to solve this problem?

 

 

Thanks!!

are they loaded in the weapons bay?

 

If so you gotta open that bad boy first.

Yes, they're.

 

I tried loading them in the pylons, and the worked. OK, so I've to open the bay first.

 

I'll try it

 

tHANKS!!

Doesn't work opening the bay. They only work in the outer pylons.

 

Thanks

 

Anyone has more ideas?

Leaving the sidewinder fact. Do you know what do I have to modifiy in the plane data to make them capable of using AIM-120 AMRAAM?

 

I tried modifying the atachment type of the plane and wep, and also the weapons capable of being used, but only worked once. I mean, I tried the same in the Talon, F-18A, CF-188 and F-15A (of the game) and only worked in the Eagle.

 

Anyone knows?

 

Thanks

The AMRAAM works on my CF188M. I made the attachment point to WP and made an Canadian AMRAAM.

You should also check if there is a diameter limit for the weapon station. Some Sidewinder stations have them and they are usually set to match the diameter of the Sidewinder. But the AMRAAM is slightly wider.

 

An example (from the MF F/A-18):

[LeftOuterWingStation4]

//SUU-63 Pylon with LAU-115A/A

SystemType=WEAPON_STATION

StationID=11

StationGroupID=2

StationType=EXTERNAL

AttachmentPosition=-3.092,-1.7,-0.727

AttachmentAngles=0.0,-1.0,-90.0

LoadLimit=2600

DiameterLimit=0.3 <- I have changed this value to be able to load up an AMRAAM here

AllowedWeaponClass=IRM,AHM

AttachmentType=NATO,USN

ModelNodeName=LeftOuterPyl02

PylonMass=91.4

PylonDragArea=0.03

LaunchRailNodeName=

 

But in most cases adding 'AHM' should do it, especially for modern American jets.

I flew it this morning with Ammrams and aim-9X's in the bay.

Fox-2 the winders the bay opened and out she went... you won't get a growl unless they are on the pylons.

Fox 3 for the 120's just fine with radar lock. The bay will open when a missile is fired, then close back up.

 

the year i was flying in was 2005. 9X's and 120 C's
