I can load them, see them, but I can't use them

[Skyviper 1,101]

I have several mods that I can use some but not all of that aircraft's weapons. i.e I have the SA gazelle attack chopper. I can use all of the weapons except for the HOT launchers.

 

When I fly C-130 missions I have go alone because the AI C-130s can't drop their paratroopers they say they have no ammo.

 

I'm wondering, even though I have the latest version of SF2 over Europe do I still need the weapons update?

 

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

I did a fix for the HOT missiles in my install, let me dig it out (it was something simple).

Here's the HOT_M data.ini from my install. Whoever made it used USMC as the Nationname and gave it to the Americans too but it works from either the Gazelle Single/Dual launcher (HOTL & HOTL-DR) or it will attach to any ATR rack you have (the Single/Duel Launcher are classed as Rocket pods ingame)

Thank you!

So I will also need to edit the .ini files for the weapons for other craft too correct? AH-64 appache rockets do the same thing.
