The Official Agostino Q & A Thread

[Svetlin]

Agostino, you have to edit the weapon with weapon editor. There is a check box named "Use Missile Rail", just check it and then save.

No need to edit the weapon location.

[+76.IAP-Blackbird]

those rails are a part of the model itself so a ini edit in the weaponssection should solve this prob, I`m not at home this weekend so I can`t check it.. but it seems easily to be solved.

[Svetlin]

Yes that is true. The R-37, for example, does not require a missile rail with its default setting. So one should open the missile data ini with weapon editor and check the respective check box. Then, once the missile is selected, the game will know that it should load the missile with a missile rail (if there is actually one as part of the model of that pylon)

EUREKAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Problem solved, the cause is the weapon data.ini of the weapon in question!!

 

Well, let's open the weapon data.ini, for example the R-37_data.ini, and we are changing this value:

This is everything you need to do!!!

 

 

I am also checking other weapons, there I know...

 

 

 

 

[AGOSTINO]

some missile pylons are also off or missing. Is that fixable?

 

 

 

 

Certainly!!!

[Svetlin]

Well, just be careful not to mess something.

The R-37 is not actually a rail launched missile.

It is ejected from its weapons rack, away from the aircraft.

[the test pilot]

and, by the way, R-37 wasn't meant to work with SU-39

 

 

 

if i remember right, it was designed for Mig-31M-BM series

I have tried all older patches, and newer patches!!!! But, the game don't start!!!!

 

Hey Agostino, I was just searching for some archive topic and came across this thread:

It reminds me of your problem although not quite the same.

 

You said you tried using all the old SFG patches and didn't work. Have you tried installing the SFP1 patches?

[+ravenclaw_007]

this are 6 chaff/flare dispensers and not only one and based on the weapondata that you posted this pod is a old one or the one for SF1 because there is no SpecificStationCode= Chaff or Flare entry

 

so i would suggest to install the weapons that comes with the NF-5A SF2 pack and let overwrite if ask to that should solve this "problem"
