No aim-4 falcons

[Delta6Actual 0]

I don't seem to have any falcon missiles in my weapons file. It is listed as aim-4d in the weapon editor, but there is no ini file for it. I just downloaded the most current weapons pack for WOE (which is what I am using) and they are not there. Is there another weapon file to get the falcons?

I'd guess that's because the AIM-4 are stock in SFG/WoE/WoV but absent in WoI, consequently, they are not in the Weapons Pack, and since they never served in any Israelian conflict (or modders simply ported them from earlier sims), you won't find a 3rd party version.

What should I do?

It seems the files are in WoI Objectdata.CAT, so...

 

Here's what to do :

 

1) Extract WEAPONDATA.INI from /Objects/OBJECTDATA.INI to /Objects/Weapons/

2) Add the following lines at the end of WEAPONDATA.INI (replace xxx by the next number after the last weapon)

3) With the right WeaponEditor version (the 2.x for WoI), open the modified WEAPONDATA.INI, and save.

4) If everything went fine, go play

 

Be aware though that you might not get it to work IF the plane you're testing doesn't have the right nationality and attachment type (or station code).

Everything went fine. Thank you so much for your help!

Now that you've got the Falcon, you're in for another challenge. Hitting something with it.

That's why it was called the $40,000 turn signal!
