Fuel Tanks etc (part of a\c 3dmesh)

[+russouk2004]

I,after a few trial and error moments,have been trying to sort any problems people may get in getting tanks etc that are part of the aircraft model when exported,to work correctly.

1,

Fuel tanks should be exported in place,and any attachment points and attachment angles etc must be added to the corresponding station in a\c data.ini.

 

ie:

 

[LeftStationOutboard]

SystemType=WEAPON_STATION

StationID=1

StationGroupID=1

StationType=EXTERNAL

AttachmentPosition=-2.968,-1.792,-0.698

AttachmentAngles=0.0,0.0,0.0

LoadLimit=180.0

AllowedWeaponClass=AHM,IRM,SAHM,FT

AttachmentType=SOVIET,WP

ModelNodeName=Pylon01

PylonMass=60

PylonDragArea=0.02

FuelTankName=Tank_SU-9_600

FuelTankNodeName=Tank_SU-9L <This nodename entry is important or the tank will show also,if you select another item to load via loadout screen

 

2,Fuel tank etc MUST be added to weapondat.ini\weapons folder too.via the weaponeditor I might add.

3,as stated in another post,you CAN add decals to these.

really its easy if you know how,I thought it may haelp anyone who may have any doubts as to how to do the above.

cheers
