KingAlbert Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 While working on a new campaign I downloaded the Mirage Factory F-14A Tomcat. While taking the aircraft for a spin, I took this screenshot of the loadout. The loadout consists of 6 Sparrow, 2 Sidewinders and 2 Phoenix missiles. The belly attachments were the ones that caught my attention. A close-up reveals that the sparrow, in between the phoenix missiles, could never be fired (unless the pilot dropped the phoenix first!). Further reading in "Tomcat - Shipborne superfighter", revealed that the correct belly loadout would be 2 phoenix in front and 1 sparrow in the rear. To obtain this loadout possibility, you need to open the F-14A_DATA.ini and replace the SparrowStation4 with this entry. [SparrowStation4] SystemType=WEAPON_STATION StationID=4 StationGroupID=6 <----- change this value from 2 to 6 StationType=SEMI_RECESSED AttachmentPosition=0.0,-4.15,-0.525 AttachmentAngles=0.0,1.0,0.0 EjectVelocity=0.0,-2.0,0.0 MissileRollAngle=45.0 LoadLimit=230.00 AllowedWeaponClass=SAHM AttachmentType=NATO,USN MinExtentPosition= MaxExtentPosition= By setting the StationGroupID to 6 instead of 2 you split the front and rear sparrow stations allowing for this more realistic loadout. I haven't checked the other F-14's available in the download section, but chances are that, if they are based on the MF aircraft, the same trick will also work for them. Happy Flying Quote

+DWCAce Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 If ya can't, I'm pretty sure that I still have in my project folder for my F-14A Upgrade Project (the one I've been working on forever:) ). Quote
