Herminator

Hi, I know that this is gonna be the kind of questions that is going to freak you guys out, as it's probably asked on a daily basis... Anyway, I've read the 'intermediate modding posts', still, after installing WOE, Oct 2008 Patch and bunyaps wep pack, I don't get any weapons in any loadout screen, not for stock, nor for any addon aircraft... Which step did I miss? After installation of the a.m. software I extracted the weapondata.ini to the objects directory, opened it and merged it with the one in objects/weapons using weaponseditor (for versions/updates after 2008)... Anything wrong to that point?! Please help!! Thanks!
