Harrier GR7

Downloaded. Installed. Flown. This is awesome. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!! :biggrin: -
Ok, it's like 2 in the morning so, to cut a long story short... I'm trying to mod a weapon station on AD/Sundonwer/AmokFloo/USAFMTL/Bunyap's (did I miss anyone?) Tornado, specifically the Left and Right CenterlineStations so to position laser-guided bombs more accurately as in RL: Basically what I want to do is for LGBs to be loaded in the forward hook-up points (there are three: forward, middle and aft; currently laser-guided bombs are set to be attached to the middle station, like fuel tanks and ALARMs; I'd like to correct this moving them forward one station) of each shoulder pylon. I add "LGB" to the aforementioned stations, deleting them from the other hardpoints but when I go to the sim, although the weapons seem to be correctly positioned, the shoulder pylons where the bombs are supposedly attached to are missing: Any ideas on how to correct this?

Took my still half-baked GR.1 out for a spin... and slapped Saddam in the face while I was still at it: -
The nicest looking airplane ever

The Lightning is SO AWESOME, I love it! But if I had to choose only one aircraft, I think I'd choose the Flanker. -

El problema de volar bajo es que uno se queda sin espacio para maniobrar. Y volar bajo expone al propio avión a la artillería antiaérea y misilería tierra-aire portable (de guía infrarroja u óptica, de esa que no da aviso... y que cuando uno menos se lo espera, termina con un SAM IR clavado en la tobera). Volar a altitud media permite margen de maniobra y conservar energía para maniobrar (cambiando altitud por velocidad; si uno vuela bajo, no tiene altura para "picar" y se puede quedar corto de energía y si a uno le lanzan SAMs en salvo, está muerto) y además ayuda a quitarle energía al SAM pues éste tiene que ascender (luchar contra la gravedad) para alcanzar al avión propio , en tanto que éste al volar bajo, el SAM vuela en línea recta o asciende para luego caer, aprovechando el hecho de que maniobra en un plano tridimensional (aprovechando la gravedad y conservando energía) mientras uno en su avión vuela en un plano bidimensional. Si la topografía ayuda, volar bajo es válido (porque los accidentes geográficos enmascaran al avión del radar - proveen un clutter de manera que es difícil para el radar con base en tierra apuntar - y también confunden a los sensores infrarrojos) pero si estamos en un desierto pelao, no sirve de mucho que digamos...

Lo que a mi me funciona es, primero, detectar de dónde viene el SAM. Luego maniobrar el avión y colocar al SAM en la línea de 3-9 (es decir, el avión perpendicular al SAM, poniendo el misil a las 3 o a las 9 del reloj). Esto hace que el SAM ejecute la trayectoria más larga posible (mayor lead), por tanto quemando su combustible y perdiendo energía (cuando el booster se quema, al misil solo le queda la energía acumulada del impulso para maniobrar; la idea es quitarle la mayor cantidad posible de energía en el camino). Mientras esto ocurre, comenzar a soltar chaff en intervalos regulares. Cuando el misil esté dentro del rango visual, girar el avión con la parte de arriba mirando al SAM (poniendo el misil en la línea media del canopy) y jalar con todo el stick en un viraje de fuerte G hacia el misil. Con suerte, el misil habrá perdido suficiente energía y capacidad de maniobra y no podrá igualar el giro, pasando de largo. Entre más uno demore en reaccionar, mayores son las posibilidades de éxito del misil.

A mi me funcionó así Como dice pato, es un misterio o mejor dicho... son Cosas del Orinoco (que tú no sabes... y yo tampoco). ¿Qué sistema operativo tienes? Yo tengo WinXP x64 y funciona (si a mi me funciona, le funciona a cualquiera).

OMFG that 'Thud' shot is I mean... can't those bloody ground crews keep ONE single aeroplane clean for a change? (Tornado skin project started ) -

Last Tornado GR.1 + LGB release shot of the week, I promise! Made also a 'clean' version of my CPU-123/B skin without the graffiti so you can choose between this more "politically correct" version or the "personal touch", with ground crew inscriptions all over it :yes: -

Harriers at dusk... This one's titled "a small CAS mission in the AV-8B" (or, "a shameless excuse to test my recently downloaded environmental lighting and missile/explosion effects") RIFLE!!! Hey, the good guys are burning! I'd better do something... FAST! Keeping them with their heads down! In your face, Shilka! OOOOPSSSSSSSS...! My handiwork Coming back home after a successful mission: Hey, you know what I've been thinking? We should have an "after-action report" section like SimHQ to tell war stories about our flight sim adventures and not only stand-alone screenshots, how 'bout that? -
Abre tu archivo WEAPONDATA.ini con el WeaponEditor y pica "SAVE", luego prueba entrando al simulador.

Thanks Rambler & a10boar The bombs are still a WIP, I'm working on them as I'm getting started on a Tornado GR.1 re-skin project. I'm really enjoying Lexx_Luthor's INCREDIBLE missile exhaust effects ... but I'd like to improve or change the "blocky" smoke trail effect (the one you get when the booster ignites), does anybody know of a good way to do it? Other than that, the effects are AWESOME! Oh, yeah... DIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!! PS: how do I create a smokeless AMRAAM booster effect?
