What kind of tank are you looking for?

Try this: make new fuel stations for the new tanks you want, but keep the existing as well. Keep the same station group ID for the new stations. If you do not want the built in tanks to appear in the weapons selection screen, just delete Tornado 2250_torn_tank from the FuelTankName=Tornado 2250_torn_tank entry, but the keep the text "FuelTankName=". Alternatively, you can keep the FuelTankName=Tornado 2250_torn_tank entry, but make the station a specific weapon station with some nonexisting entry. So, something like this: [LeftInnerWingStationWet] SystemType=WEAPON_STATION StationID=17 StationGroupID=2 StationType=EXTERNAL AttachmentPosition=-2.350,-1.434,-0.670 AttachmentAngles=0.0,0.0,0.0 LoadLimit=2500 AllowedWeaponClass=FT, AttachmentType=NATO,W_Germany ModelNodeName=pylon_inner_left ;PylonMass= ;PylonDragArea= LaunchRailNodeName= MinExtentPosition= MaxExtentPosition= MovingPylon=TRUE RotatingPylon=FALSE FuelTankNodeName=torn_2250_tankL FuelTankName= //FuelTankName=Tornado 2250_torn_tank [RightInnerWingStationWet] SystemType=WEAPON_STATION StationID=18 StationGroupID=2 StationType=EXTERNAL AttachmentPosition=2.350,-1.434,-0.670 AttachmentAngles=0.0,-3.0,0.0 LoadLimit=2500 AllowedWeaponClass=FT, AttachmentType=NATO,W_Germany ModelNodeName=pylon_inner_right ;PylonMass= ;PylonDragArea= LaunchRailNodeName= MinExtentPosition= MaxExtentPosition= MovingPylon=TRUE RotatingPylon=FALSE FuelTankNodeName=torn_2250_tankR FuelTankName= //FuelTankName=Tornado 2250_torn_tank [LeftInnerWingStationWet2] SystemType=WEAPON_STATION StationID=19 StationGroupID=2 StationType=EXTERNAL AttachmentPosition=-2.350,-1.434,-0.670 AttachmentAngles=0.0,0.0,0.0 LoadLimit=2500 AllowedWeaponClass=FT AttachmentType=NATO,W_Germany ModelNodeName=pylon_inner_left ;PylonMass= ;PylonDragArea= LaunchRailNodeName= MinExtentPosition= MaxExtentPosition= MovingPylon=TRUE RotatingPylon=FALSE FuelTankNodeName= FuelTankName=Tank1500_Tornado [RightInnerWingStationWet2] SystemType=WEAPON_STATION StationID=20 StationGroupID=2 StationType=EXTERNAL AttachmentPosition=2.350,-1.434,-0.670 AttachmentAngles=0.0,-3.0,0.0 LoadLimit=2500 AllowedWeaponClass=FT AttachmentType=NATO,W_Germany ModelNodeName=pylon_inner_right ;PylonMass= ;PylonDragArea= LaunchRailNodeName= MinExtentPosition= MaxExtentPosition= MovingPylon=TRUE RotatingPylon=FALSE FuelTankNodeName= FuelTankName=Tank1500_Tornado

And in Bulgarian too

The outer pylons are there only on the MiG-17 and deffinitely missing on the MiG-17F and MiG-17PF. So, for MiG-17 one can either choose to edit the ini and still use the stock pylons or go for Spillone104's tank. For the later models - 17F and 17PF, only Spillone104's tank with built-in pylon does the job.

Well, I am a bit of a maniac about aircrafts loaded with drop tanks So I spent some time looking into the issue and here are 2 solutions: Solution 1 - go get the new drop tank by Spillone104 Solution 2: - do not Spillone104's tank, but keep the stock one; - extract the MiG-17_DATA.ini, open it; - go to the weapons stations entries and edit as follows: [LeftTankStation] ........ ModelNodeName=LeftWing_OuterPylon <-- it exists in the model, but is missed (intentionally or not) in the data.ini [RightTankStation] ........ ModelNodeName=RightWing_OuterPylon <-- it exists in the model, but is missed (intentionally or not) in the data.ini Now, when you select the stock drop tanks, these will appear loaded on a pylon, not just hanging on a fuel pipe and side supports. P.S. Spillone104, sorry I noticed this just now... Had it been earlier I would not have bothered you biuld another drop tank. I am sorry!

Well that's just the fuel tube and side supports, but the pylon is missing.

It is a possibility, but that way the probe will always be loaded on the frame. May be the modder wanted to be able to select the IFR probe in the loadout screen and fly with it or without it...

The IFR probe is being loaded on the plane as a weapon (FT I think), so it can be flown with it or without it. The problem is that the aircraft nose is listed as node name for the IFR probe.

I think the problem is here: // IFR [Tornado-IFR] SystemType=WEAPON_STATION StationID=16 StationGroupID=8 StationType=EXTERNAL AttachmentPosition=0.52,3.71,0.05 AttachmentAngles=0.00,-1.00,0.00 LoadLimit=2050 AllowedWeaponClass=FT AttachmentType=ITALY,NATO ModelNodeName=Nose PylonMass= PylonDragArea= LaunchRailNodeName= MinExtentPosition= MaxExtentPosition= FuelTankName=Tornado-IFR_MG NoJettisionTank=TRUE Try deleting "nose" from the ModelNodeName.

Hi, hope that helps: http://www.simmerspaintshop.com/forums/f37-photoshop-tutorials/making-outlined-numbers-used-luftwaffe-651/

It is fine with me

Me too I am patiently waiting for your Su-22UM3 Please share this one as well.

I was looking the other day for detail sets for a Mig-25P model kit and I came accross some interesting pictures of a 3D model of the exhaust from a producer of resin conversion sets. Here is a link: http://www.click2detail.com/products-details.php?pro_id=161 Same company produces the long exhaust pipes for MiG-25R, RBS, RBT, BM types and similar pictures of a 3D model of the exhaust available here: http://www.click2detail.com/products-details.php?pro_id=163 May be it will be helpful...

Drop tanks part of the model?

Hi Centurion-1, may I draw your attention to the shape of the nose cone, not sure if it is an issue of the preview or the model itself:

A much needed success for the Rafale after so many losses... Without it, production of the type would end in a few years.

I think it is because different settings were used for making the base MF MiG-23M/MF model and for making the parts to turn the base model into a MiG-23UB.

Thanks! Great, I was looking for a Swiss Mirage. From pictures I have seen, Mirage IIIS did not have the dopler radar under the nose. Luckily the MF model has that radar as a separate mesh, and I managed to remove it easily with an ini edit (thanks to the fellow simmer who showed us how to do it). Thanks again!

Just for fun

Yes, that's correct. My PC confuguration is similar, well in fact I am using an older Nvidia GeForce card, can't remember the series though.

Works fine in my install - no white bar and seat has texture.

Search for the folder named DLC - either in your main install folder or in your mods folder. You should have a .DLC file in it.

I saw in Yefim Gordon's book on MiG-21, page 134, a picture of MiG-21R, bord number 22, looking just like this one, with text that it was in a fighter configuration with inner pylons and wingtips ecm pods removed. If you look at other MiG-21s with just 2 pylons (F, PF, PFM), you will see these are near the middle of the wing, very close to the landing gears, while on your picture the pylons are in the outer half of the wing span, just where the outer pylons on post MiG-21M variants are. Hope that helps.

Dónde puedo encontrar el JF-17 enlace de descarga beta? Gracias!

Hm, I see, that reminds me of the Swiss Mirage IIIS, would be nice to have that too...
