A quickie note on the loadouts, for all these Nieuports.

 

Sometimes, you may notice the 'external model' of the wing-mounted Lewis guns is missing. There is a glitch in the data ini, where the Left and RightWingRocketRails are assigned mis-matched grouping (they should BOTH be StationGroupID=2

 

This will remove the mix-up chance, as the the LeftWRR was taged with the GroupID=1; the same as the wingmounted Lewis guns, which is assigned as StationGroupID=1

 

Adjust your data ini's accordingly.

 

Also, open and check ALL the loadout inis, and make sure the lewis01 is set to

 

Loadout[11].WeaponType=lewis01

Loadout[11].Quantity=1

 

I caught a couple that had typos, saying 01 instead of 11.

 

Do this for all them, and that should take care of that
