Geary Posted August 29, 2012 Posted August 29, 2012 I have one plane with two skins. I have two drop tanks; one per skin. Is it possible to have a different drop tank for each skin in the same plane folder? IE. Choose one skin, it shows up with one drop tank. Choose the other skin and it show up with the other drop tank? Quote
+FastCargo Posted August 29, 2012 Posted August 29, 2012 Not automatically. You would have to choose the proper tank in the loadout screen (plus make a tank with the proper skin if you don't have one...which would involve hex editing). FC Quote
+RAVEN Posted August 29, 2012 Posted August 29, 2012 (edited) Aircraft ? For a SF1 Aircraft you need a droptank for each skin, Look at the Canberra's, They can be selected in the loadout menu or set to load with the loadout.ini , To do this you have to add (wet) WeponeStations for each diffrent droptank skin. Example: [LeftWing] ParentComponentName=Fuselage ModelNodeName=LeftWing SystemName[008]=LeftRP4 SystemName[009]=LeftGP SystemName[010]=LeftWet < --------------Tank Red SystemName[011]=LeftBomb SystemName[012]=LeftWet2 <--------------Tank Blue [LeftWet] SystemType=WEAPON_STATION StationID=11 StationGroupID=2 StationType=EXTERNAL AttachmentPosition=-2.096,0.0,-0.80 AttachmentAngles=0.0,0.0,0.0 LoadLimit=350.0 DiameterLimit= LengthLimit= AllowedWeaponClass=FT AttachmentType=UK ModelNodeName=Left_Pylon PylonMass=5 PylondragArea=0.01 FuelTankName=TANK44LL_UK <---Red [LeftWet2] SystemType=WEAPON_STATION StationID=12 StationGroupID=2 StationType=EXTERNAL AttachmentPosition=-2.096,0.0,-0.80 AttachmentAngles=0.0,0.0,0.0 LoadLimit=350.0 DiameterLimit= LengthLimit= AllowedWeaponClass=FT AttachmentType=UK ModelNodeName=Left_Pylon PylonMass=5 PylondragArea=0.01 FuelTankName=TANK44Blk_UK <---Blue At one time I think I saw Droptanks with diffrent skins , the same name,on the same station? Not sure how that works. Hope this helps. Edited August 29, 2012 by RAVEN Quote
+Wrench Posted August 29, 2012 Posted August 29, 2012 it works in SF2, and aircraft BUILT for SF2, because the drop tank mesh is part of the aircraft LOD, therefore textureable (?) individually You can also put decals on them, too, because they're part of the aircraft in 1stGens, nope. as was stated above, seperat skins, seperate lods that need internal hex editing to change the *skinname*.bmp for each one.

Geary Posted August 29, 2012 Author Posted August 29, 2012 Hex editing is like mixing with black magic, never know what demon you'll conjure up. Guess if I want two drop tanks I'll just stick with two planes for the time being. Thanks. Quote
+RAVEN Posted August 29, 2012 Posted August 29, 2012 If you have the two diffrent tanks with diffrent names and texture already,then you just need to do the weaponestation adds to the Aircraft Data.ini Quote
