Two questions about modding a plane

[Stratos 3,192]

Ok, I have two doubts let me present my questions and hope someone can help.

 

- Is possible to have a "virtual bomb bay door" on external hardpoints? So I need to open the bay in order to be able to launch the weapons.

 

- Is possible to convert a "gunsight" only HUD into a modern HUD? Something like the vanilla F-16A Hud will do.

 

Thanks!

You can put a 'Bomb bay' anywhere on (inside or outside) an aircraft, that's just an ini edit, making the weapons show up will take some experimenting with the Bay door's closed, I can't do it, maybe can't done?

The pylons are already there. Is just to force the player to "do one more thing" before being able to launch the weapons.

Yes - been done for the F-4 in a few mods over the years - most of the work needs to be done in avionics.ini

Stores loaded in a bomb bay are not rendered/ are not visible as long as the bay is closed.

 A virtual bombbay on a external pylon, you can load something but it will be invisible until the 'bombay' is opened.

I don't think so.

The experience I did with the F-106A is that if you set the right "ModelNodeName=" in the WeaponStation, the stores will show even in the closed bomb bay.

Could this be the reason that I have some weapons not showing up on the racks, that I need to open the doors?

[+Crusader 2,101]

Yep, probably.

But see DaniloE31's post above, apparently the station can be tricked into showing the loaded store even with closed bay.

Up to him to help you further :)

Usually the very first reason why a weapon don't shows up on external pilons is because one forget to install the 3rd part weapon in question

Or the weapon data has the wrong lod name
