Removal of Hunter73 ALE-40 Blisters

[+Piecemeal 450]

I've created a Dhimari Hawker Hunter version for the early 70s using the DLC Omani Hunter73 (82) as the base model. The reason I've picked the Omani Hunter73 (82) is for the fact that it has the inner Sidewinder pylons.

In order to make it more accurate I've been trying to remove the ALE-40 chaff/flare blisters from the model with partial success. Over at ThirdWire, TK gave me some assistance by giving the correct node names. I then duly entered the node names for removal in the DATA.ini file:

 

[AircraftData]

DestroyedModel=Hunter_Destroyed.LOD

DestroyedEffect=VehicleFireEffect

EmptyMass=6590.8

EmptyInertia=46967.6,12272.6,65825.6

ReferenceArea=32.42

ReferenceSpan=10.26

ReferenceChord=3.42

Component[001]=Fuselage

Component[002]=Nose

Component[003]=LeftWing

Component[004]=RightWing

Component[005]=LeftOuterWing

Component[006]=RightOuterWing

Component[007]=LeftStab

Component[008]=RightStab

Component[009]=VertTail

Component[010]=Remove1

Component[011]=Remove2

 

[Remove1]

ParentComponentName=Fuselage

ModelNodeName=ALE-40_L_ok

DestroyedNodeName=ALE-40_L

DetachWhenDestroyed=TRUE

HasAeroCoefficients=FALSE

 

[Remove2]

ParentComponentName=Fuselage

ModelNodeName=ALE-40_R_ok

DestroyedNodeName=ALE-40_L

DetachWhenDestroyed=TRUE

HasAeroCoefficients=FALSE

 

However, here's the result .......

 

 

Ideas, anyone?

[Remove2]

ParentComponentName=Fuselage

ModelNodeName=ALE-40_R_ok

DestroyedNodeName=ALE-40_L <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< DestroyedNodeName=ALE-40_R ?

DetachWhenDestroyed=TRUE

HasAeroCoefficients=FALSE

[+Crusader 2,101]

yup, typo

DestroyedNodeName= is what makes the mesh go pooof

[Remove2]

ParentComponentName=Fuselage

ModelNodeName=ALE-40_R_ok

DestroyedNodeName=ALE-40_L <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< DestroyedNodeName=ALE-40_R ?

DetachWhenDestroyed=TRUE

HasAeroCoefficients=FALSE

 

 

Whoooops!!

That's a change I made earlier today that I forgot to change back. A somewhat desperate attempt on my part to see if that worked. My reasoning there was that if it worked with the left hand dispenser, then maybe they're part of the same model node.......... WRONG

I'm completely baffled by this. The correct prompts are given in the DATA.INI file. All the I's are dotted and the T's are crossed Here's my files for anyone who'd like to have a closer look at them.

Maybe someone else might have more luck than myself

I've taken a look yesterday, but the right-side ALE-40 doesnt want to go pooof...

Either the mesh name is wrong or theres a prob with the mesh itself.

Yeah, I've pretty much tried every variation of the "ALE-40_R" prompt that I can think of, but without any luck. Over at Third Wire I've tried to bring this to TK's attention but no joy there so far.
