Slant6 Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 Flying the F-4C (67) in some of the SF2 desert missions. The centerline fuel tank is always there, even when SUU gunpod is mounted. So you have a centerline fuel tank that fires! Installation is clean, no mods at all, and patched to Nov. 2011. Ordinary F-4C doesn't have this problem, just the (67). Looked at loadout and data inis for both these aircraft and found no difference in attachments etc. Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks.

If you don't like the centerline fuel tank eliminate it from the DATA, and or loadout. Thats where I would start. Edited March 11, 2013 by MAKO69
+Wrench Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 simpler test would be the answer to this question: do you have a data and loadout ini INSIDE the _67 folder, from an eariler date? If so, rename them. if the centerline tank disapears, yo need the "latest" data and loadout ini extracted from whichever cat they're hiding in. several changes had been effected over the last year or so in how the 'built in' fuel tank mesh was handled
Slant6 Posted March 12, 2013 Author Posted March 12, 2013 Solved it! Here's what happened. In the data.ini file for the F-4C (67) -- as extracted under "fuselage" numbers were not right SystemName[001]=Engine1 SystemName[002]=Engine2 SystemName[003]=FuselageFuelCell2 SystemName[004]=FuselageFuelCell3 SystemName[005]=FuselageFuelCell4 SystemName[006]=FuselageFuelCell5 SystemName[007]=FuselageFuelCell6 SystemName[008]=CenterlineStation SystemName[009]=SparrowStation1 SystemName[010]=SparrowStation2 SystemName[011]=SparrowStation3 SystemName[012]=SparrowStation4 SystemName[014]=TopFuselageLight SystemName[015]=BottomFuselageLight1 SystemName[016]=BottomFuselageLight2 SystemName[017]=CenterlineStationWet SystemName[018]=SparrowStationECM Should read: SystemName[001]=Engine1 SystemName[002]=Engine2 SystemName[003]=FuselageFuelCell2 SystemName[004]=FuselageFuelCell3 SystemName[005]=FuselageFuelCell4 SystemName[006]=FuselageFuelCell5 SystemName[007]=FuselageFuelCell6 SystemName[008]=CenterlineStation SystemName[009]=SparrowStation1 SystemName[010]=SparrowStation2 SystemName[011]=SparrowStation3 SystemName[012]=SparrowStation4 SystemName[013]=TopFuselageLight SystemName[014]=BottomFuselageLight1 SystemName[015]=BottomFuselageLight2 SystemName[016]=CenterlineStationWet SystemName[017]=SparrowStationECM 1
