senior moment Bomb Type

[+Veltro2k 6,319]

Ok I need to automaticaly add a (specific weapon) fab-500 500-kg bomb, to the weapons station for strike missions. How do i go about and do this

[FastCargo 412]

Well, make sure the weapon station attachment matches the particular weapon attachment (SOVIET, etc).

 

Make sure the weapon station limitations meet or exceed the bomb limits (length, load, diameter).

 

Make sure the weapon exists for the years you are trying to use.

 

Finally, in the loadout.ini, make sure the weapon is called for using the weapons name listed in the weapondata.ini.

I mean that fab-500 500-kg bomb would automaticaly load as a standard configuration

Just like I said...use the loadout.ini for the particular aircraft.

Via loadout ini it's possible to load weapons with weaponclasses that aren't specified on stations or exceed load/diameter limits on this very station but i pressume at least the attachment type must match.

 

Example is the attack loadout for the ODS F/A-18:

One can't load lasermavs manually but they will get loaded via the loadout.ini.

Same for the strike loadout of 4 MK83 on dualbombrack, you can't load that manually but strike tasked aircraft will get loaded with them.

 

Hope that helps.

tried that also..same problem

[+Veltro2k 6,319]

just noticed...about 89% of the aircraft that used to autoload certain bombs (Missiles are still OK ) are no longer doing so...begining to sound like another gift from the last patch

[Wrench 9,662]

That is some damn weird s**t, ain't it???

 

Ed, I'd be happy to have a look at and see what I can do, if you want. PM if so.

 

It's really got me bugged, so I want to figure it out.

Do you have the Sturmovik in your game ? if yes try it on a strike mission. when i do, it does not autoload anything, I have to choose. Which is ok, untill you start the game and find out that your the only one that has any weapons loaded and the rest of your flight has nothing.

[Wrench 9,662]

Pre-patch or Post-patch????

 

I've got a post-patch WoI I use for "some" WW2 testing....

 

I'll check it out..

 

Wrench

kevin stein

[Wrench 9,662]

Ok, post-patch WoI...

 

Had the double check the data and loadout inis, as there are 3 or 4 versions of the FABs for WW2 only, along with the standard stock 3W units.

 

Using the "SOVIET" attachment type, stock 3W FAB-250....

Loadout screenie

 

Flying screenie is an "armed recon'', to see if the RS-82s were loading

 

(this is after finding out that during one of my restores, the weaponsdata.ini and dat had disappeared, and I had to reinilatize from one of my other installs -read, copy/paste the old BunyPak, and run it through the editor)
