Check it out... The only thing I have not figured out how to do is upgrade the radar to match those of the F-104S:)

F-104 carrying Sparrow missles..... If you will notice, the F-104G does not have the Aim-7.... All I have done is create another folder and place the files in there renaming them to F-104S etc creating an entirely new airplane for modding.. I updated the F-104S's thrust to match those of the real world counterpart. ( btw, very little change from the stock in game F-104G) If I can find out the range of the F-104S radar, maybe I could mod the radar to depict the real life version.. I am also not sure if the pylons are in the correct spot for carrying the Aim-7. I believe there should be another set just outboard of the current ones...

Ill try to check to.

Have you posted the changes yet for upload?,and if not when :)

I havent posted it yet.. I want to make sure everything works out in multiplayer mode okay first.. For some reason, the changes do not show up on everyones aircraft as I seam to be the only one with Sparrow missles which isnt very fair:) Once I narrow that down, Ill post it..

Obiously, since the new F-104 has AIM-7's, you know how to change loadouts. Is it easy to do? Can you describe how to do it to any plane?

[EjectionSeat 0]

yes there were outboard pylons that normaly carried droptanks

[SDirickson 0]

But, can you tell me how to do it? I want to add some SUU-23's to the O-1. Imagine the recoil, :twisted:.

Here is a quick update.. I still cannot get the extra pylon to show up in the game but the weapon shows up fine...

Ok so whens the lil fella going to be let loose? :o

Well, it will not be for a while.. I found out today that a second 3d model of a pylon will have to be created and then implimented into the game.. :D I will eventually get there..

Qfly, I am real interested in learning how you manipulated the loadout screen in the game. I am trying to get the TU-22 and IL-28 to carry thier normal bombload and not just one bomb. The Data, ini, and loadout files I extracted from in the aircraftobjectsobjects.cat file all suggest it is capable of carrying 12 bombs, either FAB-250 or -500. Various websites tell me the TU-22 can carry 24 bombs (!) or one FAB-9000 (!). But the ingame loadout screen says only one bomb of either type for both aircraft.

 

help...me...pleeeeaseee....... ... _ _ _ ...

 

 

 

 

(will the aviators pick up the signal?)

 

(should I give another hint?)

 

man, I LOVE messin with airdales... :0)

Pcpilot, let me tinker around with the loadouts for that plane and get back with you.. I have been able to change the loadout to whatever ordnance I want but it does not show up as a selection in the game. If you leave that particular station set as empty, the ordnance will show up..:) I tinker with it a bit and let you know..

Pcpilot, go down to you bomb bay section of the Tu-22 Data file and make yours look like this..

 

[bombBay]

SystemType=WEAPON_STATION

StationID=1

StationGroupID=1

StationType=INTERNAL

AttachmentPosition=0.0,-0.128,-0.740

AttachmentAngles=0.0,0.0,0.0

LoadLimit=9000

AllowedWeaponClass=BOMB

AttachmentType=WP

NumWeapons=12

AttachmentPosition01=

AttachmentPosition02=

BombBayAnimation=TRUE

 

Notice, "NumWeapons=12" is what was changed.. There was no default allocation set.. I tested in Multiplay co-op mode and watched all 12 bombs fall out:)

 

Enjoy, Qfly

Thank you Qfly very much. I will test it tonight. :D

[+pcpilot 181]

Well, it worked like you said! Yay! If I dont set the bombload and leave it empty, I have 12 bombs. Now if we could just figure out how to change the loadout screen. Thank you for your help Qfly. :D

 

I hope T_K notices this. It is something to fix in a patch methinks for all the AI bombers.

Qfly, how can I change the type of bomb I carry? Can I add other types of Weapons/bombs too, like maybe the "kitchen" antiship missle?
