How do I get DT Skins to show in SF2....

[+331Killerbee 840]

Before People start yelling about not getting Drop Tank specific Skins to show in SF2/SF2V, I thought I'd better go through this so People can understand it. It's a new feature that TK has added to the new Line of Titles. It allows Drop Tank Skins to be added to Skin Files for specific Paint Schemes. Let's take a look at the F-4C_67 and it's Data.INI......

 

 

 

Componet:

[Fuselage]

 

SystemName[017]=CenterlineStationWet

 

Componet:

[LeftWing]

 

SystemName[013]=LeftOuterWingStationWet

 

Componet:

[RightWing]

 

SystemName[013]=RightOuterWingStationWet

 

 

Now in the Weapons Section of the Data.INI:

 

 

[LeftOuterWingStationWet]

SystemType=WEAPON_STATION

StationID=14

StationGroupID=1

StationType=EXTERNAL

AttachmentPosition=-3.47,0.37,-1.10

AttachmentAngles=0.0,-2.0,0.0

LoadLimit=1600

AllowedWeaponClass=FT

AttachmentType=NATO,USAF

ModelNodeName=wing_pylon_fueltank_L

PylonMass=41.73

PylonDragArea=0.02

LaunchRailNodeName=

MinExtentPosition=

MaxExtentPosition=

FuelTankName=Tank370_F4

FuelTankNodeName=droptank_wing_L

 

[RightOuterWingStationWet]

SystemType=WEAPON_STATION

StationID=15

StationGroupID=1

StationType=EXTERNAL

AttachmentPosition=3.47,0.37,-1.10

AttachmentAngles=0.0,-2.0,0.0

LoadLimit=1600

AllowedWeaponClass=FT

AttachmentType=NATO,USAF

ModelNodeName=wing_pylon_fueltank_R

PylonMass=41.73

PylonDragArea=0.02

LaunchRailNodeName=

MinExtentPosition=

MaxExtentPosition=

FuelTankName=Tank370_F4

FuelTankNodeName=droptank_wing_R

 

[CenterlineStationWet]

SystemType=WEAPON_STATION

StationID=16

StationGroupID=6

StationType=EXTERNAL

AttachmentPosition=0.0,0.37,-0.96

AttachmentAngles=0.0,-2.0,0.0

LoadLimit=2050

AllowedWeaponClass=FT

AttachmentType=NATO,USAF

ModelNodeName=

PylonMass=0.0

PylonDragArea=0.00

LaunchRailNodeName=

MinExtentPosition=

MaxExtentPosition=

FuelTankName=Tank600_F4

FuelTankNodeName=droptank_centerline

 

 

Now this doesn't effect the Loadout.INI's at all. But Third-Party Aircraft that want to add this Feature must have entries like this for the Feature to work. Once done, An Aircraft can have specific Drop Tank Skins for their Aircraft Skin of their chose. If these Lines are not added. The Game Engine reverts to "Default" and will only show "Default" Drop Tank Skins.

 

And you can put decals them... (Sundowner)
