Strike Fighters Gold, Oct2008, OV-10A

[Shotgun 27]

Hello!

 

I have Strike Fighters Gold with the latest patch from the TW site. I am seeing some issues with the OV-10A model available on this site in the downloads area. I have included 4 screenshots below as an example of what I'm seeing.

 

 

Here is the link to the OV-10A: http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=2865

 

Does anyone know why this is happening? It looks like the weapon racks are misaligned to me. Any ideas?

has nothing to do with the patch -- it's a weapons & loadout issue

 

looks like you're using the bunyap pak, because that's the ER-142 RHAW setup for the EF-4C Wild Weasel Phantom. It's a well known problem with all those older ECM 'bumps and humps', that has been fixed MANY times over the years (ie: Scooter humps, fer example)

 

btw x2: the ER-142 hasn't been used on the EF-4C for about 3-4 years now. Check the "bunyap pak weapons and loadout adjustments thread" in the KB for the full fix. Or, my site or the downloads section because I recall releasing an update for several years ago.....

 

Several ways to handle it:

 

A) Double/Triple check the loadout ini, MAKING DOUBLE DAMN SURE it's trying to load the proper gunpod (which it's not)

this can be fixed in the Bronco's data ini by adding the

 

SpecificStationCode=

 

with the correct gunpod's name.

Unfortunately, this also has a small side effect: nothing else can be loading on that station. Might not be the best answer if one is unfamiliar with data ini editing (meaning, duplicate the station as GUNPOD only mounting)

 

B) Delete the entry for the ER-142, USING THE PROPER WEAPONS EDITOR -the Posf-Patch version in this case (simplist and easiest)

 

C) Convert the ER-142 to a zero-strength jammer. Use the data below, copied and pasted DIRECTLY OVER the existing entry in your weaponsdata ini

 

TypeName=ER-142

FullName=ER-142/ALR-53 ECM Set

ModelName=ER-142

Mass=20.000000

Diameter=0.200000

Length=15.000000

SubsonicDragCoeff=0.200000

SupersonicDragCoeff=0.770000

AttachmentType=NATO

SpecificStationCode=

NationName=USAF

StartYear=1968

EndYear=0

Availability=3

BaseQuantity=1

Exported=FALSE

ExportStartYear=0

ExportEndYear=0

ExportAvailability=0

WeaponDataType=4

StoreType=0

JammerStrength=1.000000

MinFreq=0.000000

MaxFreq=0.000000

 

Then, simply reinatilize the weaponsdata ini with the CORRECT weapons editor. Problem solved

Oh, and just in case anyone is actually WHY it's loading, is the ER-142 is set as a gunpod. Back in the Day (prepatch3), that was the only way to get ECM pods to load on aircraft.

Thanks, Wrench!

 

I chose option C and it worked perfectly, thank you very much.

 

The weapons pack I'm using is "Weapons Pack 2.52 by the WO*/SFP1 Community" available here: http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=7791

 

Is this considered the bunyap pack, or am I using something seriously outdated?

[Bravo2009]

The Comm Pack was created using Bunyap's pack as the basis, and then other packs and addons added on top of it, and replacing stuff in Bunyaps

Thanks AOC. I'll get my install sorted!

 

I appreciate all the help.
