xclusiv8 Posted March 9, 2010 Posted March 9, 2010 Ive been playing around with my F-16A Nets, adding SAHM support for it on the two mid wing stations. I am using the jet in my merc campaign and i'm playing with the thought that i got it upgraded to carry 2 SAHM missiles Anyways. I added the SAHM in the _data.ini Like this: [LeftMidWingStation] SystemType=WEAPON_STATION StationID=3 StationGroupID=3 StationType=EXTERNAL AttachmentPosition=-3.03,-0.86,-0.48 AttachmentAngles=0.0,-3.0,0.0 LoadLimit=1134.0 AllowedWeaponClass=BOMB,LGB,ARM,TER,RP,EOGR,TLR,EP,SAHM AttachmentType=NATO,USAF,ISRAEL ModelNodeName=pylon_middle_L PylonMass=118.39 PylonDragArea=0.02 LaunchRailNodeName=mav_rail_L LaunchRailHeight=0.07 LaunchRailMass=61.23 [RightMidWingStation] SystemType=WEAPON_STATION StationID=4 StationGroupID=3 StationType=EXTERNAL AttachmentPosition= 3.03,-0.86,-0.48 AttachmentAngles=0.0,-3.0,0.0 LoadLimit=1134.0 AllowedWeaponClass=BOMB,LGB,ARM,TER,RP,EOGR,TLR,EP,SAHM AttachmentType=NATO,USAF,ISRAEL ModelNodeName=pylon_middle_R PylonMass=118.39 PylonDragArea=0.02 LaunchRailNodeName=mav_rail_R LaunchRailHeight=0.07 LaunchRailMass=61.23 The problem is that when i arm the jet with the missiles they are attached to the bomb pylon so to speak. I hope you guys understand what i mean. Is it possible to change so that the regular missile rails/pylons are used when i pick the missiles? Thanx Quote
+Fubar512 Posted March 9, 2010 Posted March 9, 2010 You simply need to add the appropriate missile rail to the data and loadout.ini. Quote
xclusiv8 Posted March 9, 2010 Author Posted March 9, 2010 You simply need to add the appropriate missile rail to the data and loadout.ini. How does that work? I cannot find any entries in the current loadout.ini that are specifyng any rails. Only place where i have found any rail information is under the Weapon category in the data.ini as you can see in my previouse post. Correct me if i'm wrong Example: [AirToAir] Loadout[01].WeaponType=Python3 Loadout[01].Quantity=1 Loadout[02].WeaponType=Python3 Loadout[02].Quantity=1 Loadout[10].WeaponType=Python3 Loadout[10].Quantity=1 Loadout[11].WeaponType=Python3 Loadout[11].Quantity=1 [AirToAirLongRange] Loadout[01].WeaponType=Python3 Loadout[01].Quantity=1 Loadout[02].WeaponType=Python3 Loadout[02].Quantity=1 Loadout[05].WeaponType=Tank370_F16 Loadout[05].Quantity=1 Loadout[06].WeaponType=Tank370_F16 Loadout[06].Quantity=1 Loadout[10].WeaponType=Python3 Loadout[10].Quantity=1 Loadout[11].WeaponType=Python3 Loadout[11].Quantity=1 Quote
+Gocad Posted March 9, 2010 Posted March 9, 2010 (edited) You can specify missile or bomb racks in the loadout.ini as well: Loadout[XX].WeaponType= Loadout[XX].Quantity= Loadout[XX].RackType=[Racktype_Name] Edited March 9, 2010 by Gocad Quote
xclusiv8 Posted March 9, 2010 Author Posted March 9, 2010 You can specify missile or bomb racks in the loadout.ini as well: Loadout[XX].WeaponType= Loadout[XX].Quantity= Loadout[XX].RackType=[Racktype_Name] Did not know that Thank you very much. Is there somewhere where i can find all the racks/rails and so on, the names of them? Quote
Svetlin Posted March 9, 2010 Posted March 9, 2010 I would suggest, before editing the loadout.ini, to first check the SAHMs you mean to use (AIM-7 Sparrow versions, I guess). See with the weapon editor if the missiles have the "Use missile rail" option checked. Alternatively open the weapondata file and look in each missile entry for the following: "RailLaunched=TRUE" That should solve it. By the way, which sim is this and which F-16A (MF one or default WOI one)? Regards, Svetlin Quote

Right now i have it set up so that the sidewinder rails are taking sparrows aswell. But i have a hard time beliving that that tiny little rail can support a massive missile as the sparrow Edit: I just checked and the sparrows do not have RailLaunched set on True. Its false.

Svetlin Posted March 9, 2010 Posted March 9, 2010 If you would like to give a try, set it to TRUE for one Sparrow type, for example AIM-7M and load it in game to see the effect. If it does not help, you could easily change it back to FALSE. Quote
