2 different fuel tank types allowed on one weapon station?

Recommended Posts

Is it possible to allow two different fuel tanks types on one weapon station, or do I just need to duplicate the weapon station and allow the second fuel tank type on the duplicate?

i think you have to duplicate it. Like the Phantom outer stations - one set for bombs, the other for tanks

 

don't forget, on most of the stock birds, it's built into the aircraft lod (with some exceptions)

Check out FC's F-5F, he did that for that bird.

Right. So, if I understand this right, I can't use the stock A-4 300 gal wing tank on a different aircraft, correct?

You should be able to as I put that tank on 2 or 3 other jets the F-8 if I remember as an experiment and also because I read somewhere that it was tested but rarely if ever used.

Hmmm... OK. I tried it and I couldn't get it to work. I'll go back and look again to see if I missed something.

you can always pull the tank lod/bmp/ini from a 1st Gen version, rename/repaint/hexedit -if needed by bmp name change- and create 'new' tank. There are many tanks still used in SF2 that have seperate lods from the aircraft. Look through ObjectData001.cat

 

that's how I did the Skyraider tanks - just renamed/repainted/hexedited version of the 300 A-4 tank

Thanks guys. Coincidentally, Wrench, I'm actually doing this for the USN A-1's in the SF2V AGXP.

 

I got it to work just by creating a new weapon station and changing the fuel tank type to Tank300_A4. I'm not sure why it didn't work the first time I tried it.
