Huh? That has not happened to me, lol! I did not mess with the transparency of the base textures, but I did do it to the decals, which just show the bleedthrough of the dark lines, and looks more as if they were painted on, rather than a sticker. Anyone else have this issue? Warren

Agreed. I will send YOU a new installer with the new stuff in it to your email address. When we get stuffed sorted out, then we can show everyone the goodies. Check your PMs Warren

The only problems that should be encountered is missing texture files on models. I found 2, and fixed them (AGM88s and AIM120Cs) I need to take a peek at your idea still AOC. Do you want me to go ahead and post another installer that has the new stuff in it, and see what we can do about splitting it up? I think it would be wise to get everything together first, organize it among types, renumber, and then remove the WW2 stuff, and inerts. Keep the Inerts and WW2 stuff together at the bottom of the weapondata so we just have to cut the last 40 weapondataxxx's out. That makes things simple! We still need to see what I am missing too as far as more weapons is concerned. Warren

I added the new missile models that Krizis sent me. There were a few of his already in there, and a few of his that were not. Other authors had the same model, but I used his in their place too. His missiles look sick! Warren

Downloading them now! Well AOCbravo, looks like we have some more work to do! I will be posting the new beta2 installer here as soon as I deem it ready for testing for everyone to download as soon as I am finished with adding more weapons. I would like to get AOCs idea going of 2 different versions w w/o inerts. I have a few more ideas on how we could do that too. I am weary of the file size, a lot of poor folks have dialup and a 70MB file is already pretty large. Warren

Send them over, the more the merrier! I need the LODs, the texture files, and the weapondata for them. You can send them to my email, icefarret69 at hotmail dot com. Raven_Claw has yet to get in touch with me. s**tty too, we could probably make one bad ass pack together! I need a modeler on my team! I would like to know how to do it. I know I can, I figure out everything I touch, but I need someone to show me the 'ropes' Thanks man! :D Warren

Recompiling new installer, added about 10 or so more new weapons. I will see about how to morph those weapondata.inis into something. Now there are 1,143 folders. Getting bigger. The total count in the weapondata.ini is 1580 weapons, racks, and pods. How are you all liking the new SAMs that I added? It is hard as hell to fly high, medium, or low altitudes! I hear SAM launched a buttload!

icefarret69 at hotmail dot com I added a few more weapons even. I really want to add pack 4 from Lindr2, but I want the final release version, he tweaks stuff a lot. Warren

Fixed the Aim-120C, and the AGM-88 had the same problem, fixed it too. Have not noticed the Lindr2's missiles. Let me test, and I will fix! If you did all the merging, then that might be why it is not showing up. When you mess with the merge function, I have seen errors, ie weapons not showing up. Thanks for the heads up about the R-77 loading up a flight now. Might wait for the BETA2 and recompile it, with added SU-7 stuff, and the R-77 fix. Warren

99% of the stuff in the Argentine pack is in there already. In fact, most of the stuff in there is just renamed with AR_, which I removed already when the Bunyap pack had NETH, IRAQ,IRAN and all of that already. I think we can live without the individual country weapons. You can do the same thing by editing the attachment types. Lets get real anyway, Argentina does not have many weapons it did not buy from us, or the Soviets anyway. I am going to check out Lindr2's SU-7 mod, and see what I can pluck from it to use too. I know Raven_Claws ecm pods are there, and I need them too. I am going to say neg on the Argentine pack though. Too much work, for VERY little results. Warren

Now with the nukes, did you go through and add the correct Lexx Nuke effect, and set them all to fuel-air explosives? It took me a while to research, and do all that a while back. I am downloading the Argentine pack now, and will arrange that, and add the weapondata too. Like I said, it would be best to make a complete weapondata(that we know has everything) and then split it up, and reorganize it. Renumbering the whole thing will take a lot of time too.

If you are talking about the ones from my pack (which are Lindr2s and bunyaps) then they are set to Fuel-Air Explosives, and not Nuclear Fission/Fusion. (Julhelm pointed that one out) When I drop them, they do a lot more damage than they did before. Try upping the amount of explosive power using the weapon editor. I was really conservative in my explosive output. I set it too high and destroyed every aircraft, every building, and every groundobject around me. Seemed too unrealistic, especially if what you dropped was considered a "Tactical" nuclear weapon. Warren

I can make the installer with both INIs, it would be 2 times as big because of the 2 weapondatas for everything, and 2 weapondatas for without.. Now, if you are going to add weapons to the pack, (which I went last night and downloaded everything but the Argentina pack) did you make sure they were all in folders, and not added to the pack already? It would be really hard to do that if you do no know what is already there. I compiled a beta2 a few minutes ago, uploading it now. The radars and Humps are there, and I know they work. If your aircraft has the station set for it, and if the station is properly attached in the DATA.ini, then it will work flawlessly. So far, I have had only 3 problems at all, and I fixed them, easily. I also went in and tweaked the SAM effects too. My thoughts on the splitting of the files.....That IMHO defeats the purpose of having a universal weapons pack. Having the training weapons show is one thing, but if you fly nothing but modern stuff, all the WWII stuff is gone after 1945, and will never show up in a modern loadout. I see what you are saying, and I do partially agree, but that is why I would like a bigger installer for the BETA3 New file is compiled, standby for download Link. George.... I need you to send me what weapons I am missing (the Argentine ones and whatever else you come up with) Please include the [weaponDATAXXX] or if it is in your amended WEAPONDATA.INIs, then just name the folder after the LOD file, and put it in the folder with the PROPER texture file. Most just use 1 texture and 1 LOD, but some use 1 LOD, 2 BMPs or 3 LODs 1 BMP, and etc. I will add them after that. It would probably be best just to send what you have already, and let me add it, then we can break it all down into chunks, and reorganize it. If you can text, or have a messenger, that might be feasible, as we have quite a bit to talk about, lol! There are now 1,132 folders in the weapons folder it was 1,118 folders before! Thanks for all your help! Warren

2 small bugs found, and fixed. This is small file, again straightshot to your sim FEW_BUGS_UPDATE.zip

For those wanting some toned down SAMs, here is the data INIs, so you do not have to wait for the next beta release. Also is a new weapondata (more small tweaks) Just extract to the root of your sim, say yes when you are asked to overwrite files. Warren LESS_SAMs_DATA_UPDATE.zip

Okay! New installer compiled, and uploaded to megaupload dot com. I need to turn the presense level of the SAMs down a bit. Even at Common, I got about 30 SAMs shot at me while I just tested! 101s new SAMs are pretty damn deadly too. You can install this over the existing installer. I KNOW THE FILE PATH TO WOI is goofed, will be fixed later. --> NEW DOWNLOAD <-- Good Hunting Warren

Let me know what happened, and if it was on my, or your end. I will fix it on mine. Thanks for the input StormTrooper, it is appreciated. Warren

I know what happened, you installed into Wings Over Israel, and the nato tags were taken off the weapons for Israel? EDIT AFTER TESTING....When I look at an updated DATA.ini for the F-16, and F-15, ISRAEL, and NATO are there. I wonder what issues you are having. Warren

Oh yeah, the paratrooper is in there, is it not showing up? I never could get the damn thing to work in an aircraft right. When I open the cargo bay, or bomb bay, the guy shows up 1000 times the aircraft's size, very unusual. But, they are in there.

? I am definitely not having that problem. Clean install?

Wow, rapidshare only allows 10 downloads for non-premium users? That sucks, but I am going to re-upload the file to MegaUpload, they do not have that issue! I also added a few more goodies to it. 101's new sam pack, and a few other FastCargo and RavenClaw masterpieces. It is ok to add one on top of the other, it only adds stuff, does not take away from the last installer. StandBy for link Warren

Freakin' Smurf! I am gonna add this to the new weapon pack I am making! (In BETA now)

Sure, actually I can make an installer that includes one with inert, or the other without. It might make the installer slightly bigger, but it can be done with one installer! I went ahead and added FastCargo's MOAB, Moskit, and another AGM EH's ECM pod, and a few others I found. I also added RavenClaws's chaff, and flare pods. I have been also eying lindr2's pack 4. I want to wait for his final release to add it to the pack. I think this project will be nice! What do you think about the SAMs presence now? Fly an SEAD mission on full Anti Air, and see how you like it. Thanks for the input... Warren

Perhaps you could help me out by re-organizing it?
