Im highly recomending checking this => http://combatace.com/forum/268-thirdwire-strike-fighters-2-series-knowledge-base/ ...everything....

also SF1 section is very usefull.

yakarov79,

I don't will be presumptuous or arrogant in any way 'cause I'm the last arrived here and without knowhow,but even though the LAU-3A_Twin_Mk40_M151 is not typed,the Lau-3A is at Supply[010] 0K'

Well,if you check the screenshot on the previous page that I posted earlier,you can see that even the single pod isn't available.

And believe me,the knowledge base is the forum section I visited more of all.

I will try for the SF1,thanks for the advices.

[RustyKurnass 650]

Also,If I remember well,my first attempt to have the twin pod,I added the complete twin pod name without success;so,in order to have at least the single pod,I added the LAU-3A.

Again,if I will be offensive in any way,I apologize!

Ok,I made a superquick try:

I started a new YKW campaign with the Sa'ar using the Campaign Editor instead of the default one and there I've ALL the weapons available!

[RustyKurnass 650]

Good day all,

I've restarted the Campaign with the Sa'ar,and not only the twin pod are availables,but look like that even the new loadout I added in the loadout.ini work.

The new loadout ( thanks to the KB info and guys like Yakarov for the headsup!)

 

 

[Attack_73]
StartDefaultDate=1973
DefaultFor=CAS,ARMED_RECON
Loadout[01].WeaponType=LAU-3A_Twin_Mk40_M151

And the loadout screen

 

 

 

 

So, thanks for all the support and the support!!!!

coming soon , 2.75 inch MK66 Hydra rockets

I am sorry to trouble you.But  I make my own Hydra 70 system project (not for this game) and have problems with dimensions difference between rockets and launchers. For example, M261 have length - 168 cm and the rocket (M423 fuze+M151 warhead+Mk66 motor) have length - around 140 cm. So even through rocket will be fully dip inside launcher it don't connect with contact spring. What if there is two contacts?

[+ravenclaw_007 7,221]

the rockets go in to the launcher up to the stopper (red arrow)
the firing contact is inside the launch tube not the part on the rear of the launch tube , this is the switch to arm the firing contact

the M260 and M261 launchers are more for the long warheads not for the short ones although they can be used to

[AkelaFreedom 10]

Thank you for answer. So you think that assemble rocket with M151 warhead will be sink to stoper?
I confus because find only photos where warheads are jut out from launcher.
And am I right about dimensions?

M260 and 261 = 168 cm
LAU-131/A = 152 cm
LAU-61 and LAU-68 = 168 cm

LAU-61 G/A = 194 cm
LAU-68 F/A = 180 cm

make mistake

[+ravenclaw_007 7,221]

the picture with the question mark is showing the M229 warhead not the M151 , as i mention above this launchers are made for long warheads not for the short ones although they can be used to

try the M229 warhead and i think you get what you where looking for

Edited April 20, 2018 by ravenclaw_007

[AkelaFreedom 10]

You think tehre is two different version of M261? But in photo below M261 warhead in the same psition and M151 and M274 (or WTU-1/B) are a little sink.

By the way, may be I make mistakes in dimensions of M261 launcher.

[AkelaFreedom 10]

Finally I guess how it works :) There are two different 'Retainers'.

Thanks for your answers 'ravenclaw_007' and I'am very impression of yours 3D work!

And may be you help me about text form on launchers because I only find the DODAC numbers.

(My personal 3D work here if you are interested - https://www.artstation.com/akelafreedom)

[AkelaFreedom 10]

Finally I complete the M261 launcher
