ThaDutchman Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 Can anyone tell me if you can refuel and re-arm in WOE? I have also have the desert storm campain. I'm running it on Vista. Quote

+comrpnt Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 Sorry, you can not. Actually Dave, I partially disagree. It's not well documented but re-arming in a mission IS possible. Simply edit the Controls/Default.ini file (or whatever controls file you're using) and add the following line to the [ControlSet001] section REARM_WEAPONS=ALT+W Re-run the game, expend your weapons, then press the key combination defined in the line above. Hey presto - you're rearmed! Here's proof (using the FuelWeight value to prove that these shots were taken one after the other on the same flight) Armed ----- Unarmed ------- ALT+W Re-armed -------------- Now, of course, with great power comes great responsibility, so I expect folks to RTB, taxi to the arming pit and then press the rearming button. No cheating while airbourne! ;-) (BTW, it doesn't work for fuel unfortunately). I'd like to take credit for discovering this but someone else posted the details a while back and I simply made a note of them - if the original author of this tip reads this please make yourself known, I expect that folks will want to thank you personally. This is the first time I've tried it and was pleasantly surprised to see that it works. I used WOE (patched Oct 2008) as my testbed. All the best, regards, comrpnt. Quote
MigBuster Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 Pah - I've no need for such things so wasn't even looking Quote
+Spectre_USA Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 (edited) Had been pining for it for many moons, and was pleasantly surprised when it was revealed. 2 things of note, if you add this via INI edit, do NOT open the controls section in game, as it will immediately delete this key combo. Also, if you get in a pickle, and jettison weapons, (Default Alt+J), then try to re-arm in the ICT area at an FOL, you will see your weapons load appear, and quickly fall away, right through the tarmac...
