+ojcar 157 Posted February 26, 2013 Hello, boys! I'm testing the new Armchair Aces update and testing some things. I have discovered a VERY EASY trick to make all your ground objects harder to destroy. You'll only need the DATA.ini of each object. For example, if you want harder trucks: Go to your Liberty_Data.ini. As main object component you'll have Component[001]=Truck. Well, go to the [Truck] section. Under the MaxExtentPosition line make another line with StructuralFactor=5.0 (you can play with this number to your taste). Save the file and that's all!!! Go to the game, play an Armed Recon mission and see the difference!

Grinseed 19 Posted March 2, 2013 Clever stuff Ojcar, much easier than adjusting all the armour thicknesses. Making the adjustments now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
