Nato Fighters, Weapon problems, help needed!

[Pile]

This is probably in the wrong thread or something but i need some help with the mod "Nato fighters" Series.

 

1. Installed a fresh installment of WOE and updated it with oct 2008 in regular maner

2. Installed Nato fighters and launched it... no weapons on the wings at any aircraft or year

3. Installed Nato fighters 2 and launched it... still no weapons to mount

(still downloading Nato Fighters 3 and 4)

 

Question!: is there a weapons pack or loadout.ini to download somewhere or some other tweek to get the thing working, I can hardly scream the MIG`s to death.

 

Every tip appriciated!

 

Safe Flying mates!

Finish installing 3 and 4.

 

1 and 2 were for an earlier version of the game that uses a different weapons editor version. I believe 3 or 4 will install the updated files to get it to work with the '08 patches.

I had a similar problem when I did mine. Do you also have some planes missing like I did? Are you running Vista or W7?

 

If so, here's what I did, keep in mind though that I am no master modder lol. Just throwing it out there so I don't get into trouble for "helping" the way we aren't supposed to!!

 

Ok, so I had the same problem, and here's what I did. I erased all traces of WOE except for the folder where I keep all of my mods, kind of like my storage bin. You might find that there are two spots for WOE, one under Third Wire and another under Wings Over Europe. If this is the case, then your mods are going to one folder and your desktop icon is from another. It makes it very hard to keep track of, or it did for me. I scrubbed anything having to do with WOE, like did a file search and if it had been installed in the game it was recycled, again with the exception of my storage folder. I then did a fresh install and patched it to 2008. When I did these installs, I let the game go where it wanted to, as in don't change the path, just let your computer put it where it wants to.

 

Now, check your game after every step (naturally) to make sure it works. For the NF, do the same thing, let the computer put it where it prompts to. I found that it was prompting one folder and sending it to another, the correct folder. All of my stuff is in Program File>WOE, but it was prompting to Program Files>Third Wire>WOE, which is a real folder as my WOI and WOV are under 3W, but WOE is not in it, it's in that first path. I did the first two installs, checking each one, and found no issues. I did the same with NF3 and again found no issues.

 

I have a small issue with NF4 in the form of some missing Brit plane:( , however, not worried about it enough to tear it all down again lol. Hope this helps if this was your problem. If not, then good luck!!
