Le Prieur Rockets for the Spad VII 180

Recommended Posts

New Le Prieur Rockets for the FE-Addon Spad VII 180

 

I did them in a bit of a weird way to… :blink:

Stop the AI jettisoning them

Give them an upward trajectory on launch

 

Caveats

You can’t launch them in groups or all at once (they seemed to be historically bulk fired)

Never seen the AI use them (did the AI use them pre Addon?)

They are REALLY inaccurate, on purpose; use a lot of them from about 150 metres…

 

Included are a:

New Spad_180_data.ini (with the weapon stations added)

New Spad_180.ini (with the loadout file added)

New Spad_180_Loadout.ini

Le_Prieur_map.bmp

Le_Prieur_Rocket.LOD

Le_Prieur_Tube.LOD

 

REMEMBER TO BACKUP YOUR FILES BEFORE USING THESE ONES

 

You will have to extract the WEAPONDATA.INI and the WEAPONDATA.DAT from the ObjectData.CAT if you haven’t already and place them in a folder called “Weapons” in the “objects” folder (you may have to make the “Weapons” folder)

Place the Le_Prieur_map.bmp, Le_Prieur_Rocket.LOD, and Le_Prieur_Tube.LOD in the “Weapons” folder has well

The Spad_180XXX.ini files go in the “Aircraft/SPAD7_180” folder

Open the WEAPONDATA.INI in a text editor and add to the bottom

Note [WeaponData0XX] should be sequential with any thing you already have there

After you have saved that, Open the extracted WEAPONDATA.INI in the NEW weapons editor and hit save

That should be all

Enjoy and feel free to mod it for other aircraft :yes:

the readme has info for attaching them to other craft

 

Note they are in the CombatACE Forum > Downloads > Thirdwire Series (SF/WOV/WOE/WWI) > Weapons Mods/Skins > area

so you wont see it announced in the FE section (when it gets approved)

P10ppy, you just keep making the Spad VII better and better! Thanks for your continued efforts.

Just got around to trying this out today. GREAT job P10ppy! I love the way these things corkscrew and shoot off in all directions. After quite a bit of tinkering I got them working for the Camel...still need to refine the position of the launchers a bit but it does work for other planes. :clapping:

 

One small thing. Your data.ini has the pilot listed as "wwiPilotNewF" and that doesn't work with the new pilots as they are all numbered. NP though, I just changed it.

glad they work for you :)

 

with the spad i got the tubes in the right place first

then used the known offsets for the rockets

 

gotta stop doing that with my pilots :blush:

need a stock install for testing mods...

Like I said man...great job!

 

 

BTW...about the "F" letter designation for the pilot model. Do you have them sorted by country? If so thats a another good idea. Makes picking the new pilots for the old planes easier if you want to use them instead of installing the pilot models that came with the planes. :good:

 

edit: Move the Camel file over to the other thread. :wink:

 

Thanks again, P10ppy! :clapping:
