jeffyb 21 Posted October 9, 2021 Hi, I'm after some help. I have tried to mod the Mirage IVP to have non nuclear bombs, something like in the following pics. I have tried to follow the info in the KB about editing loadouts but without success, any help much appreciated. Cheers Jeff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+daddyairplanes 10,266 Posted October 10, 2021 starting questions - did you edit the aircraft data ini from NUC to BOMB? - do you have the French weapons that would have actually loaded, or did you change the attachment types to NATO or USAF? - do you have the dual ejector racks that would be needed for most of those layouts? (french bombs and dual ejector racks found in several mods, easiest being Gunny's weapons pack but with many newer ones out there im sure) - finally, out of my own curiosity, are you planning to use Mk80 series bombs? the french would use SAMP series bombs, and still have a big enough defense industry and military to not buy American Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wrench 9,876 Posted October 10, 2021 none of that matters. have you actually examined the aircraft, either in game or via the Lod viewer?? You'll probably find that NONE of the pylons you require for conventional strike exist on the model (LOD). Oh, sure, you can create 'new' stations, and adjust loadouts, but what are you going to hang the racks & bombs from??? There's no pylons (actual meshes on the physical model itself that are the pylons/mounts/etc), other then those required for the Real World (tm) mission of nuclear strike. To do what you wish, would require a completely new model. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+Coupi 4,402 Posted October 10, 2021 (edited) @ Sundowner... Otherwise in the real life from 1986 to 1996 the 19 Mirage IVPs (retrofited Mirage IVAs) were used for the nuclear deterrence (one ASMP missile) and strategic reconnaissance (pod CT-52) roles. From 1996 to 2004 six Mirage IVPs were used only for strategic reconnaissance missions. Among the other external stores they were ECM/decoys pods. P.

Mike Dora 171 Posted October 10, 2021 (edited) Hate to quibble, but why would 23 Sqn be on Mirage IVs? They’re a fighter sqn, it’s a bomber. The RAF is particular about its sqn traditions.. ;) Nice model though :)) Edited October 10, 2021 by Mike Dora 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike Dora 171 Posted October 10, 2021 (edited) Well 19 and 23 did use SPADs once. Over a hundred years ago.. ;) PS for nitpickers, the Moranes, Farmans, Nieuports etc don’t count. They were RNAS/RFC. Edited October 11, 2021 by Mike Dora Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
