missiles for my mig

[zmatt]

Something is up with my Mig-29. The only thing it has available for loadout is the AA-10. I know I have other Red missiles, my SU-27 has a long list to choose from. I have Mirage Factory's weap pack and I am patched to Oct '08. I checked the loadout.ini for any hints but I don't know what to look for. This is what it says.

 

//Group ID 1 ------------------------------------------------

// StationSeq 1 = Right Outboard Pylon Rail (Small IRM Only)

// StationSeq 2 = Left Outboard Pylon Rail (Small IRM Only)

//Group ID 2 ------------------------------------------------

// StationSeq 3 = Right Inboard Pylon Rail (Small IRM only)

// StationSeq 4 = Left Inboard Pylon Rail (Small IRM only)

// StationSeq 5 = Right Inboard Rail (AA only)

// StationSeq 6 = Left Inboard Rail (AA only)

//Group ID 3 ------------------------------------------------

// StationSeq 7 = Right Inboard Rail (AA Only)

// StationSeq 8 = Left Inboard Rail (AA Only)

//Group ID 4 ------------------------------------------------

// StationSeq 9 = Centerline

Does that help? Or do I need to look somewhere else?

Your problem is most likely due to service dates. Neither the AA-11 (R-73), nor the AA-12 (R-77), were available until the early 1990s. Even then, a typical Fulcrum loadout would have consisted of all-aspect AA-8B or AA-8C (R-60M or R-60MK) IRMs, on the outer pylons.

I have older missiles in the wep pack. So it should give me some other options right? I have AA-7s installed, I know that. I can put them on my flanker. I'm not sure about AA-6s though. Those are pretty old. At any rate I think its something up with the fulcrum.

 

EDIT:

 

I set the date to 1984 to test your theory. I went to the loadout and my option was sidewinders. How can that be? Migs never got sidewinders. And it isn't listed in the loadout.ini. I should be getting AA-7s, AA-8s and AA-10s.

AFAIK, neither the AA-6 nor AA-7s were carried by either the Flanker, or the Fulcrum. The Flanker and Fulcrum shared essentially the same AAM types throughout the 1980s, the AA-8B/C, and the AA-10 series.

[+EricJ]

From what I understand, the AA-11 and AA-10 were developed for the (then) newer generation fighters, Fulcrum and Flanker.

So any idea on why I have no other missiles and why I get sidewinders in 1984?

 

 

EDIT:

 

I'm going to try changing the nation name of the Mig to soviet. I downloaded the German Mig-29. Maybe if I make WOV think its a Russian bird I can use Russian missiles.

 

EDIT2:

 

Nope, that just got rid of all my missiles except for those pesky sidewinders.

So any ideas?

[+MigBuster]

Maybe check the attachment type in the Migs data.ini file for the weps stations

 

eg

 

 

[RightInnerWingStation]

.........

AttachmentType=WP

.....

[+krizis]

I think the same way. The 'SOVIET' AttachmentType is essential. Also you may check 'LoadLimit=', 'DiameterLimit=' and 'LengthLimit='

[zmatt]

I found the wep stations and changed them from W_Germany to WP, SOVIET The same as the Flanker. And it worked! No I have to figure out how to dodge sams without any ecm......

[+Wrench]

I think you're working on the wrong airplane....

 

the loadout ini you posted, and the notation about 'W_Germany' above tells me you're working with the post-reunification version of the MiG-29G. Which IS West German (since we don't have a nation for the unified Germanies)

 

Hence, when I updated the 29Gs, you see the suffix _G on the 'new' weapons for "W_Germany"

 

You want the MiG-29A, which is the SOVIET version
