Missiles on a piston fighter

[A48Racing]

So I'm trying to do something stupid. I want to put the AIM-4A onto the F-51D. I was somehow able to get the AIM-9B onto it but can't get the AIM-4 onto it. I was wondering if someone could point me to what I'm missing to make this happen? Because if I can do this, then I want to swap weapons around with other planes for fun.

P-51D_DATA.INI

P-51D_LOADOUT.INI

You do not have weapon stations on aircraft that can carry IRM (AIM-4). Be advised - most of the AIM-4 carry specific station code (usually AIM4)

There is no even station that can carry AIM-9 so I do not fathom how you were able to get AIM-9B correctly.

I certainly did!

someone's been watching too many Iron Eagle movies.

And don't we just love things hanging in space. None of this is new; this has been screwed around with since the first piston birds started showing up in 2005 or 06

Falcons require a station specific code. and they don't work for shit anyway.

if you're going to step that deep into fantasy land, why not just build IR tracking HVARs ** and use the Mustang's built in rocket stubs (also been done 'way back when, with a different Mustang)

 

** ie: build/clone a new weapon from the existing 3W HVAR, as all that's required is ini work

Do most weapons require specific station codes? And also I've sorta already done a homing rocket with a tinkered AIR-2 Genie..... for reasons......

Also I've never heard of Iron Eagle, maybe I should watch it.

The Mustang would never reach the needed minimum speed to launch an AIM-9B or AIM-4A.

But who cares, its a game!

no, but you don't want these to show up on anything else. this would also require cloning (duplicating) the HVAR stations on the Mustang to be ONLY station specific for the IRM HVARs. Nothing to it.

Wrench, watch this.

Damn that was a good video.

That was a really cool story.  I taught with a retired colonel who flew the Six and he loved that bird.  He did, however, admit that the missiles were absolute garbage.

you attached data ini file and loadout ini file. and there is no station for IRM missiles so I just posted my observation.
