B-52 Mod, nuclear weapons don't work.

[jamiepilot77]

Downloaded the B-52G/H mega pack and it works fine except the nuclear weapons don't detonate. They drop from the plane and just disappear into the ground. Any ideas? I checked in weapons editor and everything seams ok. Thanks.

[+Dave]

Do they even explode? Also use CA Stary's SF2 effects pack.

The B-52 didn't carry B28EX weapons. A load out for the bomb bay would be something like this-

 

1 or 2 medium or large diameter bombs, or a combo thereof

(such as Mark 15 or 39, Mark 21 or 36, Mark 41, Mark 53)

 

1 or two MHU-20A/C clip-in (or PWU-6) with B28FI in the bomb bay. The 28FI was most commonly carried since it was more versatile. B43's could also be carried. B61's were fielded in 1968. 2 Hound Dog's on the wings.

 

1 clip-in in the fwd bay, and a large diameter bomb such as the B53 aft. Of course, SRAM on wings and rotary launcher added more versatility.

 

If we could implement a timer delay function (say, 100 seconds) on parachute retarded nukes, that would improve playability (at least for us SAC veterans).

I know mike but I worked with what I had. I live 4.2 miles from the USAF museum.

[+daddyairplanes]

mine don't detonate either. no effects really except for the result.(1 launched, 0 hit, 197 kills ) i know KillerBee has put out some info on nuclear effects ini edits. i've just been more focused on Phantoms than nukes. Nukes i use for more amusing missions like the BUFF loaded with SRAMs so it can handle it's own SEAD

[+Sparkchaser2010]

I'll work on this

If it's a SF2 Install, Put the "Effect Class" at the bottom of the WeaponData.INI, Like this......

If it's a First Generation Game (SFP1/WOV/WOE/WOI), Then You must add the "Effect Class" to the MissileObject.INI.

 

 

 

 

****After You've done all that, Be sure Your Nuke Effects are in the "Effects" Folder.

wpnssgt,

Ah, the good ol' days of clip-ins, pylons, and SRAM rotary launchers. I was never at a BUFF base, just FB-111's and F-16's. By the time I PCS'd to a B-1 base, I was set to retire.

 

Check this out-

I was there! Living in the Alert Facility and loaded those for the NORE!
