Modded aircraft SpecificStationCode and changing allowed weapons

[gentlemanraptor 1]

Hey all, getting into modding the game for an alt-history project a friend is working on and I have a question about altering SpecificStationCode to fit certain weapons on certain aircraft. The jet in question is Gepard's F-113 Retaliator and I am attempting to alter it to use the AIM-47 found in the YF-12A by Viper63a. Now I understand for certain pylons they are tied to certain weapons using SpecificStationCode in the ini - default, the F-113A_DATA.ini has a section that looks like this:

[FuseAIM54Station1]
SystemType=WEAPON_STATION
StationID=10
StationGroupID=4
StationType=EXTERNAL
AttachmentPosition=0.35,1.50,-1.69
AttachmentAngles=0.0,-0.50,-45.0
EjectVelocity=0.0,0.0,-4.0

AllowedWeaponClass=AHM
AttachmentType=USN
ModelNodeName=missile_rail_rear_L
PylonMass=139.25
PylonDragArea=0.00
SpecificStationCode=AIM54

The AIM-47_DATA.ini looks like this: 

[WeaponData001]
TypeName=AIM-47

Now, just changing the station code field on the F-113 ini doesn't actually allow it to load the AIM-47 at all - it just removes the ability to load Phoenixes from the loadout. I have made a custom loadout on the appropriate station with AIM-47s available, but I can't seem to figure out what else I need to change to get the missile to be available for use. I've tried messing with changing the nations and attachment types as well, to no avail. Anyone have an idea of how to get this set up right?

Try Exported to TRUE as the F-113 is a US Navy bird yes? On the AIM-47 data, and list some years so you can specify that it will be available to the USN (It's considered a nation, not a service in game logic). That might do the trick.

Exported to TRUE absolutely did it, thanks so much! Now to figure out how to make it mount more AIM-7s and AIM-9s per pylon...

...that part is proving more challenging than anticipated. Can't seem to get more than 1 missile per pylon despite basically just copying the script from a/c that do (f-15c, etc). Must be missing something very obvious.

Sure 1 missile per pylon. What d you expect? make a new
[WeaponStationХХХХ]

and register it under [LeftWing] or wehatewer it is registered

standart programing thing

Look at other aircrafts with pylons and weapon stations as an example
