Something I've noticed with regard to Gundata.dat

[Caesar 305]

Hey all,

 

I was wondering if I missed something, or if anyone else noticed this but:

 

After completing my new computer, I've got WoI running and after adding the F-35A, EF-2000 and JAS-39C, I could not get the program to recognize the new Gundata.dat. No matter what I did, following the instructions, modifying gundata.ini, saving, deleting gundata.dat and re-saving, etc. the game just would not recognize the modified .dat file. All of my standard guns were showing up (M61A1, GAU-8, etc.) but the BK-27 and the GAU-22 simply would not show in-game. Well, eventually after looking at the GunEditor.ini file, I noticed the import directory was /Objects/, so just shy of pulling out my hair trying to get the darn guns to work, I copied and pasted gundata.dat into the Objects folder and the Objects/Aircraft folder, just to see what would happen, and lo and behold the guns became usable in-game!

 

So my question is; was there a post about where to put gundata.dat before, or has anyone else run into this problem before? Or is it as I suspect, that Vista has gained sentience and is messing with my head?

Since Day 1, the GunData.ini and GunData.dat have ALWAYS gone (or stayed) in the main /Objects folder. I disremember exactly, but it might have been mentioned in the bunypak install instructions (too lazy to check right now )

How I managed to miss that for the past 3 years is beyond me! Thanks, Wrench.
