4 AMRAAMs per pylon (incorrectly) in loadout screen

[JPMoney]

I’m flying an F-16I Sufa mod for Strike Fighters 2 Israel. I’ve modified the loadout ini file in an attempt to change the missile types and positions on the pylons. I’m having a consistent issue with the outer pylons (not the wingtip mounts, but the furthest pylons from the fuselage under the wings). I want these to carry one AMRAAM each, and as far as I can tell I have modified the loadout ini, the related missile object inis, and aircraft ini to be able to accommodate this. However, when I go to a single mission in-game and access the loadout screen, those outer pylons are always empty (no missiles). When I go to add missiles manually to these pylons, all AMRAAM types only are available in “4s” and not “2s.” So in other words it’s trying to mount 2 AMRAAMs on each pylon, which shouldn’t be possible (realistically), as these are set up for single missiles only. The F-16I ini file does have a relatively complex series of pylon rules, but I believe I have it set up to be able to mount AMRAAMs on these pylons, and I can’t find any setting in any file that would allow me to indicate there should only be the option to mount one missile per pylon in the loadout screen in game. I suspect a setting related to this “4 missiles” issue is preventing my loadout ini file from operating correctly and defaulting my vipers to have AMRAAMs on those pylons. 
 

Any thoughts on a setting I am missing here?

can you post your loadout ini so we can see whats up there (will answer why it loads nothing intially)? also did you mess with the data ini at all?

[+Wrench]

and the data ini, as the attachment weights, locations, and allowability needs to be seen as well

Here they are. I have made modifications in both of these files. The issues I'm seeing are with the air-to-air configurations, but that's probably because I don't have AMRAAMs on most of the other loadouts (or I don't play the other types of missions much). I forgot to add, my air-to-air loadouts don't load the 370 gallon wing fuel tanks either.

F-16I_Sufa_LOADOUT.INI

F-16I_Sufa_Data.INI

Edit: Nevermind on the fuel tanks...they are working fine. I'm just dumb (which is probably why I'm making a mistake somewhere with the AMRAAMs on the outer pylons). So basically it's just my long range air-to-air loadout that isn't working correctly, as it won't load the AMRAAMs on those outer pylons (and always shows an option of 4 missiles instead of 2 when in the in-game loadout screen).

In the AC_data.ini remove the "AHM" entries from stationID 18 and 19, thats what causes 4 amraams to show up.

In the loadout.ini change 

Loadout[18].WeaponType=AIM-120C-5  ----> Loadout[20]
Loadout[18].Quantity=1                              ----> Loadout[20]
Loadout[19].WeaponType=AIM-120C-5  ----> Loadout[21]
Loadout[19].Quantity=1                              ----> Loadout[20]

As those are your  AHM only stations.
Alternatively remove stations 20/21 and have the ahm on station18/19 with the IRM-s

Side note: loadlimit 3500kg is a bit unrealistic for a 500kg type pylon with IRM/AHM loads...

Side note2: stationID8/9 seem to be none existent in yout data.ini, also keep in mind that the stationID-s should be seqential, not 1,28,2,3,5,6,7,10,11,etc

What i found in the loadout.ini file:

Loadout[10] and Loadout[11] are not made for Air to Air Weapons must be: Loadout[15] and Loadout[16]

Actually not, not needed, just for info. What is needed is to avoid two sections "SystemType=WEAPON_STATION" with the same "StationID" number.

That worked @logan4! Removed the AHMs from 18 and 19 and that did the trick. 

 

Side note: Fixed the loadlimits on those

Side note 2: I had deleted 8 and 9 during some experimentation. Thanks for the reminder, I added them back. And I agree, I'm for orderly/syntax in mods. I didn't create this one, it's just being modified by me. :)

 

Thanks all for helping me take a look at this.
