F-22A boo boo

[chrislancaster01]

Hey guys,

 

I installed the f22a and placed all the necessary files in their folders. I edited the weapondata.ini, saved it, and loaded the weapon editor up,clicked on the newly installed weps and saved it. However, when i go on laodsout for the f22, its bare and i only have the choice of placing GBU paveways, AIM-9's (H to P), and AGM-78A standard arm, on the weapon points.

I don't get what's happened. I installed bunyaps weapon pack, i have a few other wep packs installed aswell, and i have checked that my weapon data does contain AIM120's and AIM-9X's. It's just for some bizare reason all i can equip is crap.

 

Anyone experienced this before? I would like a bit of advice really before i go tinkering with .ini files that i just don't understand lol

If you install multiple wep packs it can sometimes f*** your game up.

There are a few reasons for this. All simple DOAHs.

 

NATION= must be compatable between weapon and aircraft.

AttachmentType= must be comaptable between weapon and aircraft.

the station's length limit, diameter limit, and weight limit must be compatable with the weapon weghts and dimensions.

TypeName= in the weapondata.ini must be the entry called for in the loadout.ini

 

 

AND a BIG problem, while you may in single mission be able to force an aircraft into play out of it's timeframe, it's weapons will not load outside of their service years. Example, I had a problem with F-14As loading AMRAAMS instead of AIM-54s, I finally realized that the date of the mission was AFTER the end service date for the weapon called for (AIM-54A) in the loadout.ini. Once I changed the entry in the loadout.ini to AIM-54C the phoenixs loaded on the tomcats.

It's not the F22-A that's the exact problem i think. I have looked at other aircraft i have that are meant to be able to equip AHM missiles like the F14'S, F-15, F-16, F-18, MIG-29, and none of them have the missiles to load up when i go on the laodout screen. The date's seem to match, and the pylons are meant to be able to quip AHM's but they don't!!!!!!!!

You're obviously not going to see a weapon with an in-service date of 1991 or later, in a mission flown before then.

While I admit to being guilty of some, if not all, of the DOAHs listed on this thread, you'll have to admit that updating weapons and making them available for a mission and/or aircraft is getting a little complex. It took me a while after the latest game updates to figure out the Weapons.ini is supposed to be in the objects folder and not in the weapons folder (which has to be made). I probably missed some simple instructions here, but it is still frustrating to not be able to get a Snakeeye Mk82 on my F-4E for a strike mission in WoV.

 

Is there a standard/accepted/best way to include the wonderful new weapons coming from the mod community with the existing variety of weapons paks. I have been downloading new weapons individually and weapons paks as they become available, but it is tough to figure out why a weapon shows up as an option and another does not show up.

 

We have a really smart community here and I can see where a new guy could be confused, so can we come up with a better standard way to load up the best of the best to those who need/want it most?

Thats the thing all my missions were flown later than 1991, i.e 2005 and there weren't any amraams.

Which terrain were you flying in?

In the F-22A_data.ini NationName= USAF ?

Which nation is listed in the skin TextureSet.ini (USAF?)

 

Open the weaponeditor (Make sure you are useing the appropriate version, if patched to Sep2008 you should be using the latest {WOI} weapon editor on WOV and WOE)

 

go to the AIM-120C and open it.

Make sure USN and USAF are checked for Attachment Type

Make sure Nation Name is USAF

 

if everything above is true then

check the exported box

match the exported start/end years with the service start/end years

and set export availability to "rare" . DO NOT use "very rare"

 

I had a problem with soviet weapons working fine on Soviet aircraft in GermanyCE, but not showing on Soviet aircraft in Formosa.
