Changing aircraft Data

[spiteful21 7]

Hi all, hopefully a simple question. Where do I find in the aircraft data to add chaff and flares to aircraft that don't have them?

 

Also is ther a way to add later model AIM-9 Sidewinders to aircraft that only have the AIM-9B

 

Thanks for all your help.

This is from the MF A-7E:

 

Add these to the fuselage section:

 

SystemName[xxx]=Chaff1
SystemName[xxx]=Flare1

 

The entries must be in sequence after the entries already there.

 

 

Then further down:

 

 

[Chaff1]
SystemType=DECOY_DISPENSER
EjectPosition=-0.182,-5.542,-0.713
EjectVelocity=0.0, 2.00,-1.25
NumFlare=0
NumChaff=30
MinExtentPosition= -1.097, -1.301, -1.04
MaxExtentPosition= -0.945, -1.022, -1.076

[Flare1]
SystemType=DECOY_DISPENSER
EjectPosition= 0.182,-5.542,-0.713
EjectVelocity=0.0, 2.00,-1.25
NumFlare=30
NumChaff=0
MinExtentPosition= 1.097, -1.301, -1.04
MaxExtentPosition= 0.945, -1.022, -1.076

As for the Aim9:

 

Open the loadout ini file and change the entries.

For example:

 

[AirToAir]
Loadout[01].WeaponType=AIM-9B
Loadout[01].Quantity=1
Loadout[02].WeaponType=AIM-9B
Loadout[02].Quantity=1

 

[AirToAir]
Loadout[01].WeaponType=AIM-9G
Loadout[01].Quantity=1
Loadout[02].WeaponType=AIM-9G
Loadout[02].Quantity=1

But remember that the weapons must be in the timeframe of the aircraft, if the aircraft goes out of service before the new missiles are available, then they will not show.

For the missiles, just adjust the service dates and loadout ini

For chaff and flares, be sure to adjust the position to somewhere reasonable on the aircraft. It would be silly for chaff to pop out 3 foot off the wing or out ot the cockpit!

Thanks very much for that.
