Stratos Posted September 11, 2007 Posted September 11, 2007 I started a campaign with the F105D in Rolling Thunder, but I have no drop tanks to select, I checked the campaign files and they look correct, can anyone tell me why I don't have the droptanks?? This is how it looks in the campaign file: //----- Player Unit [AirUnit022] AircraftType=F-105D Squadron=354TFS ForceID=1 Nation=USAF DefaultTexture=USAFSilver1 BaseArea=Korat RTAFB BaseMoveChance=0 RandomChance=100 MaxAircraft=16 StartAircraft=16 MaxPilots=16 StartPilots=16 Experience=100 Morale=100 Supply=50 MissionChance[sWEEP]=0 MissionChance[CAP]=0 MissionChance[iNTERCEPT]=0 MissionChance[ESCORT]=0 MissionChance=90 MissionChance[CAS]=20 MissionChance[sEAD]=90 MissionChance[ARMED_RECON]=20 MissionChance[ANTI_SHIP]=0 MissionChance[RECON]=0 UpgradeType=FIXED Upgrade[01].Year=1966 Upgrade[01].Type=F-105D Upgrade[01].Texture=USAFCamo1 Rebase[01].Date=12/1965 Rebase[01].BaseArea=Takhli RTAFB Supply[001].WeaponType=M117 Supply[001].Quantity=2880 Supply[002].WeaponType=Mk82 Supply[002].Quantity=1440 Supply[003].WeaponType=Mk84 Supply[003].Quantity=240 Supply[004].WeaponType=LAU-3A Supply[004].Quantity=480 Supply[005].WeaponType=AIM-9B Supply[005].Quantity=80 Supply[006].WeaponType=CBU-24B Supply[006].Quantity=480 Supply[007].WeaponType=Tank450_F105 Supply[007].Quantity=480 Supply[008].WeaponType=Tank650_F105 Supply[008].Quantity=240 Quote
+JSF_Aggie Posted September 11, 2007 Posted September 11, 2007 Are those tanks in your weapons_data.ini & weapons_data.dat? Are those the tanks specified in the F-105's _data.ini? Are the .lod's and .bmp's for those tanks in the Weapons folder? Make sure they're spelled exactly the same everywhere. Quote
Stratos Posted September 11, 2007 Author Posted September 11, 2007 Problem semisolved: The tanks appear as selectable, but only the cammo ones, the silver are on the list, but is not possible to load to the plane. This is how my data looks [LeftWingStationWet] SystemType=WEAPON_STATION StationID=5 StationGroupID=3 StationType=EXTERNAL AttachmentPosition=-3.27,-2.62,-0.18 AttachmentAngles=0.0,-5.0,0.0 LoadLimit=1600 AllowedWeaponClass=FT AttachmentType=USAF ModelNodeName= PylonMass=108.41 PylonDragArea=0.06 FuelTankName=TANK450_F105C ShowFromCockpit=TRUE [RightWingStationWet] SystemType=WEAPON_STATION StationID=6 StationGroupID=3 StationType=EXTERNAL AttachmentPosition=3.27,-2.62,-0.18 AttachmentAngles=0.0,-5.0,0.0 LoadLimit=1600 AllowedWeaponClass=FT AttachmentType=USAF ModelNodeName= PylonMass=108.41 PylonDragArea=0.06 FuelTankName=TANK450_F105C ShowFromCockpit=TRUE The silver ones are this TANK450_F105S Is possible to have both types as selectable?

Blade Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 Is possible to have both types as selectable? It can be done. Unfortunately I cannot recall whose idea it is orignally, but it is possible to have multiple droptanks on the same station. Here is what you should do: Insert the following data under the last weapon station in the a/c's data.ini: [LeftWingStationWetSilver] SystemType=WEAPON_STATION StationID=X StationGroupID=3 StationType=EXTERNAL AttachmentPosition=-3.27,-2.62,-0.18 AttachmentAngles=0.0,-5.0,0.0 LoadLimit=1600 AllowedWeaponClass=FT AttachmentType=USAF ModelNodeName= PylonMass=108.41 PylonDragArea=0.06 FuelTankName=TANK450_F105S ShowFromCockpit=TRUE [RightWingStationWetSilver] SystemType=WEAPON_STATION StationID=X+1 StationGroupID=3 StationType=EXTERNAL AttachmentPosition=3.27,-2.62,-0.18 AttachmentAngles=0.0,-5.0,0.0 LoadLimit=1600 AllowedWeaponClass=FT AttachmentType=USAF ModelNodeName= PylonMass=108.41 PylonDragArea=0.06 FuelTankName=TANK450_F105S ShowFromCockpit=TRUE Check the StationID of the last weapon station and renumber the two StationIDs (marked red) accordingly. The StationGroupIDs should remain unchanged. Finally find the components that lists the original LeftWingStationWet and RightWingStationWet as systems (should be the inner or the outer wings) and at the bottom of each section add the following lines: SystemName[XXX]=LeftWingStationWetSilver and SystemName[XXX]=RightWingStationWetSilver The 'XXX' entries should be replaced with the next number in line. Now you are done. Well, it may seem confusing (sorry, I'm away from home right now, so I cannot be more specific), but I hope it helps. Quote
