Allowing US A/C to use all US Weapons inc LP's

[+ianh755]

Hi there, I've read the KB section about weapons but can't see this particular issue.

 

1 - For my single missions I'd like (for example) my FA-18E/F to be able to use the AGM-142 Popeye, so I've set the A/C pylons to accept EOGR/EOGB from the USN & USAF in the Aircraft Folder. It'll give me lots of extra weapons but not the one I'm after.

 

2 - How do I add USAF Laser Pods (LANTIRN or PAVE SPIKE etc) to USN pylons and visa-versa (LP added to A/C plyons as above)

 

I'm running WOE Oct'08 with the Op Desert Strike Campaign.

 

Many Thanks.....................................................IanH

By adding "USN" to the weapon's attachent type entry in the weapondata.ini. The hows and whys are spelled out in the knowledge base.

Thanks for the quick reply,I've edited the WeaponData.INI as suggested and then as per the KB used the weapon editor to save the INI. Uunfortunately that hasn't worked, all Naval A/C still can't be loaded with Popeyes (not available in Loadout) were as my A-10's can when using the same Pylon tweak as above.

Look at this portion of the pylon data:

 

DiameterLimit=0.742

LoadLimit=1501

LengthLimit=5.181

 

Check the Popeye data and modify the pylons so it will accept the weapon.

Thanks Eric, you were right it was the length limit that was issue in the end.
