nothing better to do

[hurricane3]

I was just sitting here wondering , if somone comes out with a new plane and I download and install it can I lose my bombs?

I've lost stuff before ,(rockets and gernades and most recently the Fokker DR1 when I tried to install new skins and the Voss mission.)

Only way I got it back was do a system restore.

I don't really have disk space to make a copy of the sym and experiment with that.

I know someone is working on a Sopwith 1/1/2 strutter and Id like to have it but I'am afraid of loseing my bombs(their the only external ordnance I have left).

I can't backup my weapons file cause I had to get rid of it to get my bombs back after another install.

Someone here told me that that might force the sim to give me bombs and it worked.

If there's any chance I'll lose something else I won't install it and be satisfied with what I have. thanks

just don't overwrite the Weaponsdata.ini and you should be fine.most planes that have weapons are older and use out of date weapons data.make a copy of your weaponsdata ini(it's like 100kb or so) and if you do lose your bombs just use that back up copy and remember to open it and then save it with the weapons editor to get it to work.

Thanks for the reply but I'am not sure how to use the weapons editor ,think I better stick with what I have.

NP do what you feel comfortable with.It is rather simple once you set it to work on windows 98 compatability mode.simple open and hit save and your set.If/when you need help,I or someone else here will be more than willing to help.
