It has been a long time (being that BioHaz was down for a while and then it moved). But I solved the problem. I found a website that has a weapons pack I could download. It has more weapons than I would ever need and I don't know which planes most of them go to. The weapons pack was from August 2004 and I wanted to add the AIM-54 Phoenix missile. Then it finally hit me... I was not using the weapons editor correctly. I was just opening the WeaponsData.ini file with the Notepad program and just doing a copy and paste and expecting it to work. The problem was the WeaponsData.dat file. The Weapon Editor program did not recognize the weapons because I did not use the "Import" function. That is the key.. the Import function. I can't believe I missed that the whole time. Anyway, thanks for the suggestions. Sorry I was a pain in the neck to help out. - StreakEagle0 (not to be confused with the original streakeagle)

Nevermind, it did not work. I flew a mission with the F-14A Tomcat loaded up with Phoenix missles and I could see the missles. A few hours later, I wanted to fly another mission, but this time I wanted some AIM-9 Sidewinders. The only problem is the Sidewinders and all the weapons that were not in the "weapondata.ini" file did not show up. So, I added all the other weapons from a section in this post SF Editing Notes. After I added the other weapons, they still did not show up in the game. I think the problem is there is not enough information about the weapons. I think the problem is the "weaponsdata.dat" file. It is conflicting with the "weapondata.ini" file. For some reason they are not working together. Here is what I have in the "Weapondata.ini" file.

This is REALLY frustrating. - StreakEagle0

IT WORKS!!!!! Thank you sooooo much. I got the weapons editor to work and the weapons show up in the game. Thanks again howling1. - StreakEagle0

I downloaded the Weapons Editor, ran the EXE file and the only thing that happened was a DOS screen popped up for half a second. I moved the EXE file into different folders but I got the same result. Also, I renamed the "Weaponsdata.ini" file to "Weapondata.ini" but nothing happens. Which one is correct? BTW, I am using WOV. Should I create a directory for SF:P1 and see is that works or does it make a difference? I feel retarded that I can't get this stuff to work. - StreakEagle0

Ok, I put it in that folder and the weapons are not showing up. So far I have the AIM-54 Phoenix missle, F-111A fuel tanks, jammer pods and some other stuff. They don't show up on the weapons loadout screen. Could someone post an example of their Weaponsdata.ini file? Thanks in advance, StreakEagle0

Ok, thanks.

Where do you put this file? Does it go in the System folder, Objects folder, or a Weapons folder within the Objects folder? Thanks, StreakEagle0

I didn't know there was a patch 1. I will check it out. Thanks. StreakEagle

Hi: I just bought WOV last week and I have been playing it almost daily. It has been fun so far but it crashes to desktop sometimes. Today I was flying a mission and hit escape to exit the mission. Then I went to the screen to load up another mission. When I clicked "Fly" it started to load and then crashed to the desktop. Then I loaded the game up again, loaded up a single player mission, flew for a few minutes and then hit escape again to quit the mission. When I clicked "Fly" to play another mission, it crashed to the desktop again. I have played many other games including Lock On, Far Cry, and America's Army and have not had this problem before. Has anybody else had this problem or know if the game developers have a help website? Thanks in advance, StreakEagle
