Pylon on the pressure...gettit ?

[+russouk2004 6,951]

Im confused.com

launch rail refuses to load...

set up pylon for 2 IRM launch raiils....they work fine,but when I try add launch rail to bottom...it will not show....tried allsorts...

pics show Rightouter pylon...the ones giving trouble...

Pylon is   Pylon_LOW_AAM

2 rails are AAM_Pylon01 and 02

3rd is LOW_Rail (left etc)

all dandy in max...but with no irms or with the rail wont show...

heres for Pylon_LOW_AAM and just the LOW_Rail.....

You should'nt need the donotdetatchpylon statement m8.

[+logan4 845]

Sparrows (and many others) are usually not set up in their weapon's data.ini with launch rail load requirement. 

RailLaunched=FALSE

So if it is only for sparrows and/or large missiles, I advice you to merge the rail to the pylon, alternate route leave out the launch rail name, that way always will show. In case you want to use the pylon also for a2g stuff like bombs then duplicate the pylon and set up a separate station for those.

Having a similar issue myself but gave up trying to fix it months ago, managed to solve it on the Kfir but the Cheetah was a lost cause.

Oddly it was the outer pylons on the Kfir that failed and the inner on the Cheetah, believe both mods use the same TW Mirage IIIO as a base.

Thnx guys...ive got 2nd pylon for other weaps...Pylon_LOW_MISC  

sorted...renamed meshname to rail name and works...

if I leave out the donotremove statement the pylon disappears if no IRMs selected so left it in

Pheonix...try what I did ...made the rail a seperate station....I dont need this loadout for this model,but do for the 2 seater attack one ive got too....

Russo:

Are the model names case sensitive?  Your Rail entry is ModelNodeName=LOW_RAIL, but you said in Max it is LOW_Rail.

Sorry I'm late, really not had much time to mess around wit the game recently.

I gave it a shot but no joy:

If I change either line then the missile attaches directly to the pylon, if I retain the line it will sit in the correct position but the launch rail is invisible.

Tried creating a new station but it made no difference.

[+russouk2004 6,951]

Which model...C  I gather ? looking at C and 3 of the D in lod viewer there arent any launch rails for inner pylons...only tank clamps etc...there is 2 for outer pylon but they wont be moveable\selectable on another pylon unless added as a weapon or fakepilot...afaik theres your problem looks like kfir has the rails...dunno
