F8U-1 Crusader (F-8A)

[+Cliff7600]

For some obscure reasons, I'm currently having fun with the Mirage Factory F-8 Crusaders.

They're so great!

 

And I found that really neat mod made by ChampionsVA56 in the SF2 downloads section

 

http://combatace.com/files/file/11835-vought-f8u-1-f-8a-crusader-for-sf2/

 

(It won't work in SF1 or WOx, unless you know what you're doing...)

 

So, I decided to have fun with this one too, I like very much the F-8B.

 

Then I decided to try to make the rocket drawer work with the Mk4 Mighty Mouse rockets.

It needed much editing on all parts (plane and weapons),

but it wasn't working, not at all (quite realistic in fact :^)

...except for my wingman!!! 8^.

 

I was editing other things so I tasked him to attack ground vehicles, and, what a surprise, he was firing the damn rockets I wasn't even able to select as a weapon!!!

 

I tried so many things here and there, aircraft, rocket pod, rockets...

I was able to load a LAU-49 pod at the new weapon station and fire the Hydra rockets, but not the custom designed rocket drawer,

while my wingman was still firing the Mighty Mice... 0_o

 

Now I know what was the problem and I almost fixed it xD, but are you able to guess what was happening?

It's a stupid reason, but I learned the lesson the hard way.
