A-6 Superpack

[+HomeFries 29]

Bump for 1.5.

Bump for 1.51. Adds compatibility with the July 2012 patch and provides additional hooks for the just released EA-6B Superpack.

So a cockpit is not included... how does one go about obtaining one?

[+HomeFries 29]

There are some good A-6 cockpits in the SFP1 section, or you can extract the A-6 Cockpit from WoV. Likewise, you can purchase the RAZBAM A-6 pack for SF1 and use that cockpit with this pack, which is the most immersive option.

I've uploaded a hotfix for version 1.51 that brings the campaigns and Squadronlist.ini in line with the latest DLC. You can still install this even if you don't have DLC 18 and 21, but it will utilize them if installed.

OK, I installed the way I always install (works every time) a mod. This one, however, I get nothing. A-6s don't show up in single mission or campaign. What did I do wrong?

Due to reasons of intellectual property, the A-6 Superpack doesn't include cockpits. These have to be purchased, extracted from WoV, or downloaded from any number of mods in the SF1 section here. Once you add the cockpits, you will need to enable them in the a-6a.ini file (as well as a-6e.ini, et al). Instructions are in the readme.

i have this cockpit

http://combatace.com/files/file/12061-a-6e-cockpit/

but where can i find a cockpit.ini file to go with it? There's none in this mod...

[+HomeFries 29]

Slick,

 

That download is just a texture pack that fits the original A-6 cockpit from WOV. The means to get a cockpit for the A-6/EA-6B is listed in the readme. I apologize for the convoluted method, but intellectual property issues dictate the most conservative response in this case.

Is there a way to get the A-6 to use a different bomb rack for the Mk 20 Rockeye CBUs?

 

UPDATE: I worked it out. The way to do it is to increase the maximum allowable length for the bomb rack, or to change the length of the CBUs. Although the Mk 20, CBU-59, CBU-99, and CBU-100 use the same 3D model, they have different lengths. By increasing the maximum length allowable on the rack, Rockeye CBUs now fit onto Ravenclaw007's superb bomb racks.

Great mod, between HomeFries, TK and Razbam I finally have the A-6 that I can fly and hit the target!

 

Cheers

Maybe a dumb question. How do I get the visual RWR when using the E or TRAM models and the WOV cockpit? I extracted the A cockpit from my old WOV CD, but the RWR doesn't show for the later models (my understanding is the A shouldn't have a display, fine) but what of the others? It does appear to be in the avionics files for each relevant bird.

 

Great mod btw. Love having an A-6 back.

[+HomeFries 29]

Not a dumb question at all, missileman.  It's something that I neglected to put in the readme, though it would have been useful.

 

H/T to JSF_Aggie for the "clock mod", replacing the clock with the RWR for the A-6B/E/TRAM.

 

 

To A-6A_Cockpit.ini, change the clock needle sections like MoonJumper said, and add the RWR section:

[ClockHour]
Type=CLOCK_HOUR
NodeName=needle_clock01
MovementType=POSITION_Z
Set[01].Position=-100.0
Set[01].Value=0.0
Set[02].Position=-99.0
Set[02].Value=1.0

[ClockMinute]
Type=CLOCK_MINUTE
NodeName=needle_clock02
MovementType=POSITION_Z
Set[01].Position=-100.0
Set[01].Value=0.0
Set[02].Position=-99.0
Set[02].Value=1.0

[ClockSec]
Type=CLOCK_SECOND
NodeName=needle_clock03
MovementType=POSITION_Z
Set[01].Position=-100.0
Set[01].Value=0.0
Set[02].Position=-99.0
Set[02].Value=1.0

[RWR]
Type=RWR
NodeName=Clock


*******************************************************

In the A-6A_Avioncs.INI, edit the RWRTexture line:

RWRTexture=cockpit\A-6A_rwr.bmp

though for this mod the A-6x_Avionics.ini will be different

 

For the A-6B and E:

RWRTexture=cockpit\A-4E_67_RWR.bmp

 

For the TRAM variants:

RWRTexture=cockpit\RWR.bmp

 

 

Hope this helps

[missleman01 3]

Perfect! I have it running in the B,E and TRAM and now I just need to go extract the A-4 texture for B and E.

 

Superb, thanks for the help!

[missleman01 3]

Ah, just saw I have the A-4 tex in the folders already. Good deal! Time to go downtown.

Is there a list of BuNos by Image Name?

 

Trying to place accurate BuNos in specific skins.

[+HomeFries 29]

The BuNos are authentic, but not organization specific.  They're tied to the MODEX, or side number, in the decal scheme.
