Sheriff001 Posted April 20, 2016 Posted April 20, 2016 I have no idea why this is happening. In each skin folder, there is a file DROPTANK_F-104.BMP which is the skin for this part, and it is there on the lower portion, but not the upper. Quote
Wrench Posted April 20, 2016 Posted April 20, 2016 methinks it's the wrong skin map... there are 3 maps... droptank_F-104 droptank_F-104_L droptank F-104_R for the CF-104, CF-104_72, CF-104_76 and F-104G, they're all in ObjectData012.cat as the tanks are part of the aircraft lod, you can't use any of the older 1stGen style painted tanks. you'll have to extract and repaint the 3 skins to match your (aircraft) skin Quote
Sheriff001 Posted April 20, 2016 Author Posted April 20, 2016 I have. Here is the DROPTANK_F-104.BMP from folder for the skin depicted (converted to JPG so I can place it here): It basically matches the DROPTANK_F-104.BMP I extracted from the CATs. Quote
Wrench Posted April 20, 2016 Posted April 20, 2016 ok, then and all 3 skins are in the skin folder, yes? are you by chance trying to load another tank via the data & loadout inis?? (remember, you can't use the tanks from the older weapons packs) the data ini should look like this (from F-104G, all others are the same as well) [LeftWingtipStation] SystemType=WEAPON_STATION StationID=1 StationGroupID=1 StationType=EXTERNAL AttachmentPosition=-3.304,-0.176,-0.513 AttachmentAngles=0.0,0.0,90.0 LoadLimit=250.0 AllowedWeaponClass=IRM,FT AttachmentType=NATO,W_GERMANY ModelNodeName= PylonMass= LaunchRailNodeName=missile_rail_wt_left LaunchRailHeight=0.15 LaunchRailMass=24.95 FuelTankName=Tank170_F104 FuelTankNodeName=droptank_f-104_TL [RightWingtipStation] SystemType=WEAPON_STATION StationID=2 StationGroupID=1 StationType=EXTERNAL AttachmentPosition=3.304,-0.176,-0.513 AttachmentAngles=0.0,0.0,-90.0 LoadLimit=250.0 AllowedWeaponClass=IRM,FT AttachmentType=NATO,W_GERMANY ModelNodeName= PylonMass= LaunchRailNodeName=missile_rail_wt_right LaunchRailHeight=0.15 LaunchRailMass=24.95 FuelTankName=Tank170_F104 FuelTankNodeName=droptank_f-104_TR [LeftWingStation] SystemType=WEAPON_STATION StationID=3 StationGroupID=2 StationType=EXTERNAL AttachmentPosition=-1.88,0.57,-0.71 AttachmentAngles=0.0,-3.0,0.0 EjectVelocity=0.0,0.0,-2.0 LoadLimit=500 AllowedWeaponClass=BOMB,RP,CGR,ASM,IFP,FT AttachmentType=NATO ModelNodeName=pylon_left_inner PylonMass=72.58 PylonDragArea=0.02 FuelTankName=Tank195_F104 FuelTankNodeName=droptank_f-104_WL [RightWingStation] SystemType=WEAPON_STATION StationID=4 StationGroupID=2 StationType=EXTERNAL AttachmentPosition= 1.88,0.57,-0.71 AttachmentAngles=0.0,-3.0,0.0 EjectVelocity=0.0,0.0,-2.0 LoadLimit=500 AllowedWeaponClass=BOMB,RP,CGR,ASM,IFP,FT AttachmentType=NATO ModelNodeName=pylon_right_inner PylonMass=72.58 PylonDragArea=0.02 FuelTankName=Tank195_F104 FuelTankNodeName=droptank_f-104_WR (btw, the new stock skins are also in jpg format) Quote
Sheriff001 Posted April 21, 2016 Author Posted April 21, 2016 (edited) That worked, though it still wants BMPs for the 195 gal tank. Thanks! Edited April 21, 2016 by Sheriff001 Quote
