question regarding loading out the Prowler

[gopher66ca 0]

Have a question for anyone whom may have a handle on this. I had a discussion at one point some years back with the crew of a Prowler at an airshow here, and I have read through the weapon and editing material available here without success. The Prowlers typically would carry only one anti radiation weapon while the rest of the stations would be loaded with electronics pods.

 

Is it possible to configure aircraft within SFP1, WOV or WOE so they can carry unsymetric loadouts?

 

any leads appreciated

Yep, it's actually VERY easy.

 

Go into the aircraft's data.ini, in this case - EA-6B_data.ini. Go down the file until you find the weapon stations entries. Lets look an example:

 

[LeftWingStation1]

SystemType=WEAPON_STATION

StationID=1

StationGroupID=1

etc...

 

See the line in bold? GroupIDs are the key. Note how there are 5 weapon stations for the EA-6B, but there are only 3 groups. One group for the outer stations, one group for the inner stations, and the center station is it's own group.

 

Just change the GroupID number, and you can mix and match groupings. But be careful. You can get unintended consequences if you screw it up. You can only have a max of 6 groups to choose from...any more, and those weapons stations won't show up in the loadout menu.

 

For your situation, just make the StationID and the StationGroupID the same number for each weapon station. You should end up with 5 separate groups...perfect for an asymetrical loadout.

Split loadouts can be very cool....
