Trotski

thank you very much, a lot of hard work gone in there mate !!!

What about Bleriots ?.......sorry....dont beat me to death with the nearest blunt object....just throwing my spoon into the soup bow so to speak........( Buggers off very quickly and hides )

Good on ya Grin !!!

Well done Grin mate , much obliged to yer sir !!!

yea !!! well done matey, good on ya !!!

cheers buddy...another crate that is sorely needed

I just dont get this, why do weapons loadouts work on some aircraft, then not on others, it is a most frustrating and actually very annoying problem, I seem to spend more time messing about with files than actually flying......( bit like real life on a fighter squadron I suppose ) I have been pestering poor old Steven1918 over the Anatara, trying to load her up with some grenades, but will it happen ?.....That would be a big fat no then !! then other A/C the spad for example, loadouts work on one of 'em, but not the other, the ini's are all pretty much the same, but it seems to have a mind of its own when it comes to this problem.....and yes, before anybody screams at me, I know there is a sticky in the forums that deals with this type of problem, and , yes I have read it, however, it dont always work chaps !!! so can ANYONE gimmie a clue WHAT to do ( The Sweet, Ballroom Blitz )before I go arrrrrgh again, when I cant select a loaded on weapon, therefore nullifiying the mission ( I cant just strafe, I get my azz shredded ) The floor is yours Ladies and Gentlemen

yay...at last, sorted it out, thanks guys, what it was, it looks like I had 2 WeaponData files, one that I had run trough the weapons editor, and sved as is the norm, what I had failed to realise was that the one in the cat file, was at odds with mine, I assumed that my file would automaticaly overwrite the one in the cat file, so I re extracted it, and used it as the master file and merged my file in to it, and it is all correct now, bloody silly oversight on my behalf, but hey with your wonderful help, I have learnt something , cant thank you all enough !!!!

no I did exactly as you said on the tin, I am going to try a couple of other things first, and I shall get back to you mate

Now if ya could just apply those 2 lovely lewis guns to the Brisfit......oops sorry, goin' on about it again

Dude...it is FE1, and I am not accusing anyone of anything at all, I stated....in very good, and very clear English, that I had ALREADY looked at the forums that you so kindly mentioned, and that I CANNOT find anything pertinent in those afore mentioned forums, anyway, this is ridiculous, I refuse to enter into a silly argument about whether or not anyone read posts properly or not, it is counter productive, and making comments such as this do not solve the issue in question, so if you have a reasonable suggestion to give me, then I shall be most appreciative.So Mr Red, and Mr Heck, if you are quite finished, please feel free to offer constructive suggestions, and let us get back to the issue in hand. Thank you !!!

Sarcasm ???....I wasnt actually being sarcastic, only pointing out that sometimes people dont actually read the post, and they make comments that are not helpful in the slightest, as for me refering to sarcasm, I was actually joking, igf you read the post correctly, taking the mickey out of myself actually......so I am sorry to say this, but your comment is a bit out of order, enough said !!!

well, I have done EXACTLY what you have shown me, both you Ocjar, and Stephen1918, but STILL no joy !! I also checked on the DIII.....and that doesnt allow me to select weapons either, and that is a stock aircraft !!!.......I also added Stephens most excellent DH niner in, but those beauties DO have the weapons, both showing and selectable, and droppable........please please please dont tell me I need to reinstall YET AGAIN !!! I know that arming the Anatra is not really imperative, however, as I have said before, I am using her as a test bed, so to go back to my original question, why are the weapon loads working on some A/C ( which are unmodded stock ones as well as thirdparty )there has to be a glitch in the system somewhere that is causing this to occur, but I am damned if I know where that gremlin is residing, not asking you guys to fix it for me per se, but any ideas where the problem could possibly be so I can try and figure it out myself Again I would like to thank you all for your patience with a middle aged thick bloke

ohhhhhh mate !!! you little star !!!

Oh by the way, just to say, I am using the Anatra as a test bed for these experimental mods, because I think she is a lovely aeroplane to play with, as well as fly, the old saying if they look right then they are right, is a very true statement !!!

ok guys, gonna give it a try, sorry if I am being a little thick, but it is my first attempts at making changes to a flight sim myself, and the old brain aint as sharp as it used to be either......blah blah blah....excuses excuses excuses hehehehehe, seriously though fellah's, mucho obligato for your patience with me, Oh and Ocjar mate, I didnt aim the comment about being screamed at at you , it was directed to Mr Red, as he obviously hadnt read what I actually said in the initial post.....sarcastic bugger aint I ?....it is all part of being English, it is inbred in us....sarcam that is.....not stupidity errrrrm....waffling now, so gonna go and play with these ideas

As I said in my original post, and I quote "and yes, before anybody screams at me, I know there is a sticky in the forums that deals with this type of problem, and , yes I have read it, however, it dont always work chaps !!! " So been there done that, it does not explain why some A/C which are stock by the way, refuse to take weapons, I have tried reinstalling etc etc. As for the Anatra, Steveen1918, has been trying to get this to work with grenades, he even wrote an additional weapons loadout for me, but still no joy. Stumps me, I have tried trmoving the weapons dat file, I have tried using the weapons editor, everything, am getting really frustrated, probably down to me missing something, that is why I am asking for advice, 'cos this is a bit of a head scratcher

Hi everyone, just a couple of queries, Firstly I have downloaded just about every skin for the Fokker DVIII, and they all work perfectly except for two, the Goering snow white, and the Jasta 74 Hippert skins, when ever I select them, I just get the blank aircraft....very peculiar , as, as I said all the other ones seem to work spot on any body go any clues on this for me, 'cos I dont reall want to delete 'em. My second question is, how do you open lod files ?...or to be more accurate, what do I USE to open them.....I want to mod the Bristol MC1 and add the very visable Vickers on the cowl, as there isnt one in the MC1 that I have, also I want to remove that VERY VERy annoying Lewis gun of the top planr of the Bristol Fighter......it was not a very common thing, so I want it gone !! also I would like to chop and change some bits about...ie twin guns in the observers cockpit etc etc. I am very very new to all this, and I am making lots of mistakes, however, I am getting there, so any advice would be much appreciated Ta very muchly Marc

I have just added these what I think are very important early war A/C but seem to have a leettle beet of le probleme !!! they wont take off !!! Ne pas ascendez....stuch to the ground so they are !! anyone else had this prob ? most frustrating !!!

works just groovy man ....lol

YESSSSSS thats sorted it, the problem is indeed in the wheels, the original ini the rolling coefficient is 0.25......in yours it is 0.025 well whoda thunk it....all caused by a zero, cheers matey much obliged to ye sir

Nope still not working....hmmmmmm

AHHHHH cheers buddy, will do so right away ........As fer you mr Grinseed....I'll give ya rubberbands....I'll have you know the MF's are very sophisticated and world beating aircraft ....errrrrrrrm....on second thoughts....Anyone got any new rubber bands ? oh and a nice big windy upper stick thingy too whilst you are at it

I am just a glutton for tinkering, basicly want to replace some of the stock Archie, with the onion chucker, and the pom pom, but as with everything, to no avail.......as for those bloody AAG's arrrrrgh they are NARSTIE !!!! had my bum shot to tatters a couple of times by the buggers, only got 'em installed in Cambrai and Verdun, so if I want to live a bit longer I go to Flanders , or Lemberg, Vogesen or even Gib !!! a wee bit safer there !! as the archie gunners couldnt hit a pig up the butt with a banjo as for the onion chucker and pom poms, it has got to be someting top do with the ini, as they are just place holders for the afore mentioned arse shredders , so what I need to figure out is how to get them to work as WELL as the butt munchers if ya get my drift ?

Nice skins mate, makes a beautiful looking A/C even more attractive, just downloaded these skins looking forward to using them !!! keep 'em coming !!!
