+sophocles Posted March 17, 2024 Posted March 17, 2024 (edited) Hello all! Could someone please tell me why the game only accepts 2, but not 3 different fuel tanks under the same pylon? (with different station ids ofcourse). I can get 2 different fuel tanks to function, but when I try a third, it doesn't show in the weapon selection screen. Here is the relevant part of the Data.ini Any help would be greatly appreciated!

EricJ Posted March 17, 2024 Posted March 17, 2024 Could it be an actual limitation of the game? I would figure it would allow it to show up, but if not then it may be a simple limitation, unless somebody has done it before? 1 Quote

I just downloaded his files and it appears that he has different ModelNodeName entries for the different tanks whereas the F-5 tanks are all attached to the same ModelNodeName entries; that is Left_Pylon_inner . I wonder If this is how he did it? example from the T-33 Data [RightWingTipStation01] SystemType=WEAPON_STATION StationID=4 StationGroupID=2 StationType=EXTERNAL AttachmentPosition= 5.792,-0.527,-0.065 AttachmentAngles=0.0,0.0,0.0 LoadLimit=900 AllowedWeaponClass=FT AttachmentType= ModelNodeName=Tip_Tank_point_DX PylonMass=5.00 PylonDragArea=0.02 LaunchRailNodeName= FuelTankName=F-80_Lockheed_tank FuelTankNodeName=L_Tank165_DX [LeftWingTipStation02] SystemType=WEAPON_STATION StationID=5 StationGroupID=2 StationType=EXTERNAL AttachmentPosition=-5.792,-0.527,-0.065 AttachmentAngles=0.0,0.0,0.0 LoadLimit=900 AllowedWeaponClass=FT AttachmentType= ModelNodeName=Tip_Tank_point_SX ================> These are different!

Wrench Posted March 17, 2024 Posted March 17, 2024 wonder if he didn't duplicate the nodes somehow??? 1 Quote

+sophocles Posted March 17, 2024 Author Posted March 17, 2024 (edited) Thanks to all but the solution was simple .. I'd forgotten to add the system entries for the extra tank in the wings section of the Data.ini All is good now! Edited March 17, 2024 by sophocles 4 1 Quote
