1 hour ago, madvad said:So I can assume that the .lods included in ODS 30AE are a upgrade over the standard ones available in CA as a single download?
the lods no
the data ini edits to the hit and collision boxes yes
there are several new models that were unique to ODS 30AE, many of which have come out in other releases since then

does that have to be built as a two pod model or are they loading that way on the MERs through ini dancing?

About The Mirage Factory Rebuilt
Back in the early days of Wings Over series modding The Mirage Factory, lead by bpao was the peak of modding excellence. Many of their models are still heavily in
use today, 15 years later and still amongst the very best. This despite the team not creating any new mods since the passing of Oliver Anguille in 2009.
But time does move on, and the next generation of modders have ideas, techniques and tools not available back then. With the help of some of the original
modellers (who have copies of the original max files) we can update these fine aircraft for the 2020s. Rebuilt for new terrains and campaigns that were
just hopeful wishes over a decade ago.
The Mirage in the logo is camoflaged, much like the real aircraft in later service. The "HD" has been replaced
with "Rebuilt" as what was HD in the 2010s is jsut standard today. Finally, the new logo thanks Oli, both for the aircraft that are still relevant today
and for the inspiration he's given to the modders that followed him.on behalf of The Mirage Factory (original and rebuilt) I thank you for downloading this mod, and hope you enjoy it.

5 hours ago, CSomers611 said:I'm trying to understand how to do this on my F-4D's.
I'm wanting to make the rear sparrows as Group 7, to me this makes logical sense considering nothing else can be loaded there. My question is, should I remove the Falcon Stations and then seperate the 2 front Sparrow Bays so I can use/load them individually? I would be interested in seeing your setup.you wouldnt even need to do that. simply change
SparrowStation4]
SystemType=WEAPON_STATION
StationID=9
StationGroupID=4 <----------------------------- to 7
be aware that doing this means they will either always be there or never be there depending on your loadout ini. at this moment, believing you havent screwed with said loadout ini, they would always be there
i just did this with the Recce Phantoms and the wing tanks; the are on in 99% of shots post Desert Storm and i wanted the option of 2 or 4 Winders, so the tanks went to group 7 and will now be on forevermore (at least for the _91 and Spanish models)

well, it is a 5 year old post. i think the rest of us can be forgiven for forgetting it, and impressive that you did remember it too
also unfortunately Sabre1br hasnt been on here for a couple of years, so probably no consulting them on their progress

well, no time like the present to learn to make your own!

there are a few D temps in the DL section.
as for F/G, i did a skinpack years ago when Wrench released a revamped for SF2 version of ArmourDaves two seater Thud. i cant find any temps in my files, and it was long enough ago that you might not want to use any i had made. i couldnt find one in the SF2 or Gen 1 sections.
try asking @Wrench if he has them stashed away somewhere
