KiwiBiggles Posted October 22, 2018 Posted October 22, 2018 (edited) Hiya all, I've been loving playing around with Dan's A-4Ks, so here are some .ini edits for custom rocket loadouts that people might enjoy: These custom 'rocket' TERs are fake electronic pods. I've used fake fuel tanks in the past, but read in a thread recently that the fake tanks may increase the vulnerability of the model to enemy ordnance, so to be on the safe side, I've converted to fake EPs (which work just as well): Triple centre station RPs and mixed-twin wing station RPs all selectable from the loadout menu: These were all authentic RNZAF loadouts back in the day - at least for public displays and firepower demonstrations. With these custom weapon stations, all nine RPs are filled with a full complement of munitions, and are selectable all-at-once from the cockpit (unlike 'left-and-right' multi-pods). This setup sacrifices LAU-7 rails for the 'winders (which some of my other custom stations include) due to the game limit of 6 StationGroupIDs; I don't mind so much since this is the A-4K (70) and the RNZAF didn't get AIM-9s until July 1975 (Don Simms) so I don't normally use them with this model -- AIM 9s are still selectable for the outboard wing stations of course, just minus the LAU-7s which is the same as stock TW, so no harm, no foul. This Mixed RP and Fuel loadout is a bit more practical(!); selectable from the loadout menu for any mission, but a really nice loadout for SEAD missions with a mix of artillery and armoured targets: Here's the code for anyone who is interested: // --------------------------------------------------------- [LeftPylonRack] SystemType=WEAPON_STATION StationID=6 StationGroupID=2 StationType=EXTERNAL AttachmentPosition=-1.91,0.10,-1.00 AttachmentAngles=0.0,0.0,0.0 EjectVelocity=0.0,0.0,-2.0 LoadLimit=200 AllowedWeaponClass=EP AttachmentType=NATO,USN ModelNodeName= PylonMass=31.75 PylonDragArea=0.03 SpecificStationCode=A4RNZAF_TER [RightPylonRack] SystemType=WEAPON_STATION StationID=7 StationGroupID=2 StationType=EXTERNAL AttachmentPosition=1.91,0.10,-1.00 AttachmentAngles=0.0,0.0,0.0 EjectVelocity=0.0,0.0,-2.0 LoadLimit=200 AllowedWeaponClass=EP AttachmentType=NATO,USN ModelNodeName= PylonMass=31.75 PylonDragArea=0.03 SpecificStationCode=A4RNZAF_TER [LeftWingStationTwin1] SystemType=WEAPON_STATION StationID=8 StationGroupID=4 StationType=EXTERNAL AttachmentPosition=-1.91,0.10,-1.24 AttachmentAngles=0.0,0.0,0.0 EjectVelocity=0.0,0.0,-2.0 LoadLimit=360.0 DiameterLimit=0.44 AllowedWeaponClass=RP AttachmentType=NATO,USN PylonMass=0.00 PylonDragArea=0.00 [LeftWingStationTwin2] SystemType=WEAPON_STATION StationID=9 StationGroupID=3 StationType=EXTERNAL AttachmentPosition=-2.05,0.10,-1.01 AttachmentAngles=0.0,0.0,45.0 EjectVelocity=0.0,0.0,-2.0 LoadLimit=360.0 DiameterLimit=0.44 AllowedWeaponClass=RP AttachmentType=NATO,USN PylonMass=0.00 PylonDragArea=0.00 [RightWingStationTwin1] SystemType=WEAPON_STATION StationID=10 StationGroupID=4 StationType=EXTERNAL AttachmentPosition=1.91,0.10,-1.24 AttachmentAngles=0.0,0.0,0.0 EjectVelocity=0.0,0.0,-2.0 LoadLimit=360.0 DiameterLimit=0.44 AllowedWeaponClass=RP AttachmentType=NATO,USN PylonMass=0.00 PylonDragArea=0.00 [RightWingStationTwin2] SystemType=WEAPON_STATION StationID=11 StationGroupID=3 StationType=EXTERNAL AttachmentPosition=2.05,0.10,-1.01 AttachmentAngles=0.0,0.0,-45.0 EjectVelocity=0.0,0.0,-2.0 LoadLimit=360.0 DiameterLimit=0.44 AllowedWeaponClass=RP AttachmentType=NATO,USN PylonMass=0.00 PylonDragArea=0.00 [CentrePylonRack] SystemType=WEAPON_STATION StationID=13 StationGroupID=5 StationType=EXTERNAL AttachmentPosition=0.00,0.27,-1.04 AttachmentAngles=0.0,0.0,0.0 EjectVelocity=0.0,0.0,-2.0 LoadLimit=200 AllowedWeaponClass=EP AttachmentType=NATO,USN ModelNodeName= PylonMass=31.75 PylonDragArea=0.03 SpecificStationCode=A4RNZAF_TER [CentreStationTriple1] SystemType=WEAPON_STATION StationID=14 StationGroupID=6 StationType=EXTERNAL AttachmentPosition=0.13,0.10,-1.04 AttachmentAngles=0.0,0.0,-45.0 EjectVelocity=0.0,0.0,-2.0 LoadLimit=360.0 DiameterLimit=0.44 AllowedWeaponClass=RP AttachmentType=NATO,USN PylonMass=0.00 PylonDragArea=0.00 [CentreStationTriple2] SystemType=WEAPON_STATION StationID=15 StationGroupID=6 StationType=EXTERNAL AttachmentPosition=-0.13,0.10,-1.04 AttachmentAngles=0.0,0.0,45.0 EjectVelocity=0.0,0.0,-2.0 LoadLimit=360.0 DiameterLimit=0.44 AllowedWeaponClass=RP AttachmentType=NATO,USN PylonMass=0.00 PylonDragArea=0.00 [CentreStationTriple3] SystemType=WEAPON_STATION StationID=16 StationGroupID=6 StationType=EXTERNAL AttachmentPosition=0.0,0.27,-1.28 AttachmentAngles=0.0,0.0,0.0 EjectVelocity=0.0,0.0,-2.0 LoadLimit=360.0 DiameterLimit=0.44 AllowedWeaponClass=RP AttachmentType=NATO,USN PylonMass=0.00 PylonDragArea=0.00 All the best, KB Edited October 22, 2018 by KiwiBiggles 2 Quote

charlielima Posted October 25, 2018 Posted October 25, 2018 Nice. I Always wondered if we could and how to use multipe weapons groups on a TER for a plane that only has a handful of hardpoints as A-4s, F-8s, F-100s, and such. CL Quote
