1.check you are using the right version of the editor

 

2.If so Use it to open up the weapondata.ini in "weapons" and see if the AIM-7s are there

i had the same problem. i have fixed it by re-installing the entire game, patching it up to the latest and then installing weps pack.

The cause of the problem whas: i had installed 2 weps packs.

1) CHECK INI, LOD, LOD-001, & LOD 002 dates for every AIM-7's weapons: they must have identical dates.

 

2) try use this http://rapidshare.com/files/142107772/aim-7.rar.html must be correct... i hope.

 

3) Do not use 2008 year weapons editor for WOE, Only 2006 year editor.

i think its the weapons editor problem im using 2008 version.

He mentioned the model not appearing. Check whether the weapons model is in your folders or not, then try substituting it with ANOTHER model (for example, AIM-7E with AIM7E or vice-versa).

every thing is place but it doesn't appear on the aircraft.

[kct 5]

Can you load the weapon?

[FastCargo 412]

And, can you fire the weapon and it works...just nothing appears except the contrail?

[MiG_Slyer 3]

yeah its load on the aircraft but doesn't appear on it inflight.

[MiG_Slyer 3]

yeah just contrails.

[kct 5]

That is caused by a model conflict, it seems.

[FastCargo 412]

Then you need to look VERY closely at the weapondata.ini entry for the particular sparrow you are trying to load.

 

As an example:

 

 

[WeaponData682]

TypeName=AIM-7A

FullName=AIM-7A Sparrow

ModelName=AIM7E

etc, etc, etc...

 

Note the entry in bold.

 

You MUST find a cooresponding file in the Objects/Weapons directory...either of these two (for this example):

 

AIM7E.INI or AIM7E.LOD

 

If you find a cooresponding .LOD file but do NOT find a coorsponding .ini file, then there is another problem.

 

On the other hand, if you find a .ini file, then you need to go into that .ini file and read the following (again, for this example):

 

[LOD001]

Filename=AIM-7E.lod

Distance=200

 

[LOD002]

Filename=AIM-7E-001.lod

Distance=800

 

[LOD003]

Filename=AIM-7E-002.lod

Distance=1500

 

Those LOD files must be in either one of two places...in the Objects/Weapons directory or in the Objectdata.cat file located in the Objects directory. If the LODs named in either the Weapondata.ini or specific weapon .ini file is NOT in the Objects/Weapons directory or in the Objectdata.cat file, that is your problem right there.

what should be done to sort it out remove the weapons pack AIM-7.

[FastCargo 412]

The simplest way is to rename the ModelName= parameter to a AIM-7 model (a .LOD file) that you know you have already.
