F-2h4 Banshee Beta Release

[Guest capun]

I sent the zip file of the F-2H4 Banshee Beta version to wpnsstg to post at ACFC, since I am having trouble downloading here.

I'll update the post after it is posted.

Please post any constructive feedback, remember it is a Beta version so Caveat Emptor.

Guys, love this plane. It flies well, looks good, and last nite I shot down 7(!) enemy migs. Am I good or what? :)

 

I did notice one little problem. My initial mission with the plane was supposed to be a strike mission against an airfield. The weps listed included fuel tanks, rocket pods, and the guns I think it was. When I tried to select them in the loadout screen to add onto the plane, I couldnt, it said there were zero weps available. Well, I went ahead and started the battle anyway, and there the weps were! On the plane! Even though I couldnt select them back in the loadout screen. Is there a file or something I didnt put in the right place?

 

Minor bug fellas, GREAT airplane! Well Done and BZ!

The planes have a standard loadout based on the mission.

The file name should be F-2H4_Loadout.ini (or something close to it).

Why you cannot get weapons, I don't know. Are you flying in single mission mode?

Some weapons cannot be loaded due to the weapon station limitation, the nationality of the weapons, etc.

There is a document here at the files section that tells you how to mod your own loadouts (How to ....)

I'll look at it later, but I don't think I have seen the problem before.

BTW, the FM is being twaked to be more realistic, but the plane will not fly as it is. The real plane was fairly underpowered and not highly maneuvable.

Yes, single mission mode.

The Banshee has a limited weapon carrying capabilities. The outside pylons can only carry Sidewindenders or 5" HVAR rockets.

The inside Pylons can also carry bombs up to 500 Lbs.

So you should be able to select weapons within those ranges. I don't see your problem in my system.

Hope the release version has a good NAVY skin, the old blue color. That plane looks sharp.;)

My biggest issue with the release is the texture mapping.

I can do maps for individual sections of the plane but ideally you want to make 1 or 2 files with all the sections somehow mixed. I haven't had that much luck here, I may want to release the plane with several map files and I am looking for skinnes to come up with good paint jobs.

Thx
