There seems to be something wrong with our weapons tody....

[Wrench 9,461]

(nice paraphrasing, huh?)

 

as some of you know, i'm updated/upgrading the old Super Etendard for SF2. Now, 2 of the weapons this aircraft SHOULD be able to carry are the AN-52 free-fall/retarded Nuke and ASMP missile (so says wiki)

 

here's where it all goes south ... adding the weapons, checking the proper format (which should be right, after all, I'm pulling them from the gunnypak!!), years, weights, size, etc.

 

They don't even show on the 'available weapons' list on the left panel. Even when the proper weapons codes are used on the hardpoints (below) -even has them listed on the outer, even tho i'm not sure the AN52 would go there (after all, it's just a really powerfull bomb!)

I can understand the ASMP possibly not loading due to a lenghtlimit, but there ain't one on the hardpoints! The AN52 should have no issues, as it's a bomb (albeit NUC). Looking over other data ini, it seem NO external HPs have lenght limits (phantom or mirage3 for example)

 

this is the strangest damn thing ... had similiar problems when working on the Tonka Pak with Dave (that drove me bats**t crazy) -- weapons that, within their allowable year spans simply do NOT show up and since they don't show up, don't load.

 

Has something gotten weirded out lately that preventing things from working the way it always has? Or am I just blind(er) than usual?

 

TIA!

What Nation is the SEtendard set to? I bet it´s "FrenchNavy", so you have to match this by setting the weapon as exported. I had such a problem also, not with all, but some weapons.

[Wrench 9,461]

AHH!! (slaps self on forehead!!) Of course! FrenchNavy is a seperate nation from France! Why didn't I see that!!??

 

thanks Florian, you're a life and mod saving genius!!

[+Florian 394]

AHH!! (slaps self on forehead!!)

It´s kinda funny how the reaction on finding out about own temporary blindness is the same all around the world!

It was the SEtendard, it was some weapons and it was a slap on my forehead...
