Is there any way to make a weapon/rack specific to an aircraft?

[+gregoryp 1]

For example the Christmas tree type missile rack on the P-38. Is there any way to keep it from showing up for other aircraft? And other aircraft missile pods from showing up on the P-38’s loadout screen?

Sure, use the SpecificStationCode=xxxx parameter(where xxxx is a four character alpha numeric code) within the weaponstation entry of the data.ini of the aircraft AND within the data.ini of the weapon.

 

The weapon will only get loaded if the number matches the entry in the data.ini. This is only applicable for patch level Oct 08 or later.

Thanks! Using SF2 for all my WW2 mod's now.

 

Here's the P-38 outer station. Where would I add the 4 digit code? Is the code alpha numeric?

Just had this very self-same problem with some J skins I'm doing for 20th FG, ETO.

 

You CAN use the StationSpecific code, or the "OnlyAllowedWeapon=" or "NotAllowedWeapon" on the hard point

 

[LeftWingStationOutboard]

SystemType=WEAPON_STATION

StationID=3

StationGroupID=2

StationType=EXTERNAL

AttachmentPosition=-5.5,0.1,0.6

AttachmentAngles=0.0,0.0,0.0

LoadLimit=27

AllowedWeaponClass=RP

AttachmentType=USAF

ModelNodeName=

PylonMass=20.0

PylonDragArea=0.03

NotAllowedWeapon=Triple_Bazooka

OnlyAllowedWeapon=P-38_Rack

 

[RightWingStationOutboard]

SystemType=WEAPON_STATION

StationID=4

StationGroupID=2

StationType=EXTERNAL

AttachmentPosition=5.5,0.1,0.6

AttachmentAngles=0.0,0.0,0.0

LoadLimit=27

AllowedWeaponClass=RP

AttachmentType=USAF

ModelNodeName=

PylonMass=20.0

PylonDragArea=0.03

NotAllowedWeapon=Triple_Bazooka

OnlyAllowedWeapon=P-38_Rack

 

you'll note I changed the LoadLimit=, too

btw, this is in 06 ETO; for 08/SF2 the two statements DO work, but station specific code would probably be best, given the fact the xmas tree rack was ONLY used on H/J models.

 

You should be able to add it to the weaponsdata ini for the rack, via the sf2 weapons editor, and add the ssc line to the hardpoint (the stock mig-23 uses this for the apex stations)

 

SpecificStationCode= *name of weapon, must match that used in loadoutini*

Thanks Wrench, I'll add

 

NotAllowedWeapon=

OnlyAllowedWeapon=

 

to my program. Do I also need to add a

 

SpecificStationCode=

 

also to the Station section too? So both the weapon and station would have SpecificStationCode= in them?

 

BTW, got your WW2 pak converted to SF2. Just starting to go over the data. I have a small DATCOM program to calc the drag for each weapon
