11 hours ago, Wrench said:This IS the BFT that came with the aircraft 'way back when.
I just downloaded TMF Mirage 5BA from the SFP1 downloads section and there is no RPK10 included, neither as a built-in rack (like the stock Mirage 5BA has), nor as a separate weapon. I also checked one of TMF weapons packs and found 2 versions of the RPK10 in it.
M3_RPK_C
M3_RPK_V
As far as I can see, the difference is that the M3_RPK_V has the pylon built-in, whereas the M3_RPK_C does not have a pylon.
I made a quick test with the M3_RPK_C and it shows just fine in game on TMF Mirage 5BA without any modification to SF2 standards (just for the test):
All I did was:
1. Add SpecificStationCode=RPK10 in the M3_RPK_C_Data.ini file.
2. Edit the weapon stations of the TMF Mirage 5BA as follows:
[LeftWingIntStation]
SystemType=WEAPON_STATION
StationID=3
StationGroupID=2
StationType=EXTERNAL
AttachmentPosition=-2.155,-1.6,-0.805
AttachmentAngles=0.0,0.0,0.0
LoadLimit=1000
AllowedWeaponClass=BOMB,RP,TER,BFT
AttachmentType=FRANCE,NATO
ModelNodeName=LeftInnerPylone
PylonMass=72.58
PylonDragArea=0.02
RackSpecificStationCode=RPK10[RightWingIntStation]
SystemType=WEAPON_STATION
StationID=4
StationGroupID=2
StationType=EXTERNAL
AttachmentPosition=2.155,-1.6,-0.805
AttachmentAngles=0.0,0.0,0.0
LoadLimit=1000
AllowedWeaponClass=BOMB,RP,TER,BFT
AttachmentType=FRANCE,NATO
ModelNodeName=RightInnerPylone
PylonMass=72.58
PylonDragArea=0.02
RackSpecificStationCode=RPK10I used the specific station code entry to make sure I am getting exactly the M3_RPK_C model loaded for the purposes of the test.
Please ignore the fact that the RPK10 appears hanging in the air with no pylon. I just made a quick test to make sure the model shows up in the game and did not take care of which weapon station or which RPK10 version (with or without pylon) I was using.
Hope the above helps.

A Grumman A-6A Intruder of attack squadron VA-165 Boomers from the aircraft carrier USS Ranger (CVA-61), armed with two AIM-9D Sidewinder air-to-air missiles on the inboard pylons. VA-165 was assigned to Attack Carrier Air Wing Two (CVW-2) from 4 November 1967 to 25 May 1968 to Vietnam:

5 hours ago, yakarov79 said:On the inboard flap, there is a circular cutout to provide clearance above 300gal tank. So something is wrong with the model. Either flaps should extend more...or pylons are slightly too high. Or both ..or Something needs to be determined.
IMHO, the problem is with the pylons - they are a bit too high indeed. The cutout in the flap is there. If one would check the last but one picture and compare with the last one, one would definitely see the pylons are a bit too high. Just compare the position of right inner pylon lowest point at the front against the right main gear door as reference.

A walkaround of an A-6A modified into an A-6E is available here: https://www.net-maquettes.com/pictures/grumman-a-6a-intruder-walkaround/
Just keep pressing "Load More" after the first 9 pictures as the walkaround contains a total of 157 images.

Hi, GKABS, hope you will be able to implement the different configurations of the Aero 1D 300-gal drop tank.
Aero 1D single fin (to be loaded under the wings of the A-6A/B/C):
Aero 1D with 2 fins (to be loaded on the centerline station under the fuselage during the early years of A-6 operations):
Aero 1D with NO fins (to be loaded on the centerline station under the fuselage during the later years of A-6 operations):
The models are not mine, but by one of the well-known, kind and generous modders here at CA and I am showing these only to illustrate my point.

20 minutes ago, EricJ said:Plus it will be available through CA and not a DAT bird too, less politics and more flying.
The Scandinavian Front with the Viggen family included is available here at CA, but yes, a Viggen is not available as a standalone download, one has to download the full Scandinavian Front mod to get access to the Viggen.
Unless I am mistaken, the Viggen family models were touched a bit by Ravenclaw at some point, so even if these and the DAT one originate from the same source file (which I am not sure they do), the models in the Scandinavian Front should not be affected by the said politics.

I support both an improved A-6 family (A-6A, A-6B, A-6C, KA-6D, A-6E, EA-6A, EA-6B) and a Viggen family (AJ-37, JA-37, SF-37, SH-37, SK-37, JA-37D).
The stock A-6 has issues with the pylons - wrong size and shape. The drop tanks are wrong in size as well.
The Viggen family available in the Scandinavian Front mod has issues with the control surfaces - these do not work correctly and I fear that may be more than just an issue with the data.ini.

For this one, yes please, so it could be properly loaded under the EA-6B wings (on the stock EA-6B model, the attachment extension is part of the ALQ-99 pod, not part of the pylon, so if we replaced the stock ALQ-99 with your better looking one, we would need the attachment extension):
For this one, not necessary, because if I understand correctly, this version is loaded predominantly on the centerline station without attachment extension:

I know it is being frowned upon making requests to modders and I apologize in advance, but GKABS, could you make an ALQ-99 dedicated model for the EA-6B? You have the pod, all that is missing is an adapter to be added:

Hi ravenclaw, have you by chance worked on a BRU-55/57 model for weaponspack 3?

Looking at your updates on the Typhoon and the Rafale, GKABS, makes me wish Qatar bought a few Gripens too

Correction
I am sure Gepard knows better, but from what I have read, the Monsun dual rails were used on the PFM, not the PF and in Poland and in the DDR only.
Oddly enough, here is a picture of what looks to me like a DDR MiG-21PF (judging by what appears to me as a PF forward-hinged, single-piece canopy and the narrower PF vertical tail) with the Monsun dual rail, that I came across.
Mandatory screenshot - we also had MiG-21Ms , here in camo shortly before retirement.
