Hi there, I was fiddling with the Durandel anti-runway bomb/rocket trying to get it to work on a German Tornado and can across this in it's data.ini

 

"WeaponDataType=5"

 

Now I've got a list of the guidance types -

 

GuidanceType=0 None (ie Dumb bombs/unguided rockets)

GuidanceType=1 Wire Guided (ie TOW)

GuidanceType=2 Radio Command Guided (ie AS-30)

GuidanceType=3 Semi-Auto Command Guided (ie Javelin SAM)

GuidanceType=4 Laser Guided (ie GBU-12)*

GuidanceType=5 TV Homing (ie Walleye)*

GuidanceType=6 Imaging Infrared Homing (ie AGM15 D/F/G, GBU-15)*

GuidanceType=7 Inertial Homing (ie Exocet, Kormoran, Sea Eagle, ASMP, Apache)

GuidanceType=8 GPS Homing (ie GBU-31/32)*

GuidanceType=9Anti Radiation (ie AGM-45/88, Martel, Kh-28)

GuidanceType=10 Heat Seaking (ie Sidewinder)

GuidanceType=11 Beam Riding (ie SA-2)

GuidanceType=12 Semi-Active Radar Homing (ie Sparrow, SA-6)

GuidanceType=13 Active Radar Homing (ie Amraam)

 

and of the different allowed classes -

 

BOMB ... Bomb

LGB ..... Laser-guided Bomb

EOGB .. Electro-Optically Guided Bomb

AWD ... Area-weapon Dispensor

NUC .... Nuclear Bomb

RCKT .. Rocket, single

WGR ... Wire-guided Rocket

CGR ... Command-guided Rocket

LGR .... Laser-Guided Rocket

EOGR .. Electro-Optically Guided Rocket

ARM .... Anti-radiation Missile

ASM .... Anti-ship missile

IRM ..... Heat-seeking Missile

SAHM .. Semi-active Homing Missile

AHM .... Active Homing Missile

RP ...... Rocket Pod

GP ...... GunPod

EP ...... ECM Pod

LP ...... Laser Pod

NP ...... Navigation Pod

Cheers for that, it explains why it wasn't showing up as it was classed as a drop-tank! Got it sorted now
