Hunter Tanks

[fireengineer]

Hi All

I have a problem with the Hunter, not a specific Hunter, ALL the Hunters!!!

 

When I select a loadout in game, the external fuel tanks appear over the payload? I have deleted the stock hunter and downloaded new ones, various types but the tanks persist, I have deleted the tanks out of the data file, changed the lod file so that no tanks are listed at all but they just keep coming back....

Where the hell are they coming from? but more importantly how do I get rid of them?

This happens with every hunter i have downloaded from various creators.

 

I AM STUMPED

Some more info, if i select no external weapons then I get a clean hunter without tanks, but if I select any weapon the tanks appear. Also the rocket racks are present on all the hunter types installed, I think the game is loading a default hunter file every time regardless of download.

THAT is where you went wrong.

 

ALL the SF2 series aircraft have the drop tank 'built in' to the aircraft lod. You cannot use 'aftermarket' tanks without deleting or rewriting the entries in the aircraft data ini AND the loadout ini.

 

Best thing to do ... --get rid of the aftermarket Hunters-- (assuming you're using AD's Hunter from 6 years ago), and you might have to uninstall the game, REinstall the game and start fresh. They work just right out of the box.

Most, if not all, the other HUnter mods for SF2 are skin/decal paks, and reference STOCK lods

Yes, successively improved 'stock' Hunters have overtaken some of the Hunter mods out there - mine for sure.

Thanks for replies, the problem started before I modded anything, the editing and downloads were an attempt to fix the existing problem.
