Probably not my place to interfere, but still, is it possible to make through ini editting a sort of a fake HUD, showing the required data and position it over the EVS screen?

Not sure I understand the problem correct, but if you are asking about the missing pylon for the right chin pod, well the thing is that the model does not have such a pylon built in. You either need to model it separately and attach it with the fake pilot / seat method or you need a new pod with the pylon built in the pod model itself. As far as I remember, only the F-16D model and the block 50/52 vipers have that pylon built-in along with the laser pod, i.e. the pod with proper pylon is part of the model. As far as I know the F-16 you are using does not have this feature.

Another way round the 6 group limit is to choose 1 group, assign group number 7 to it, thus making it a default load. Then all you need to do is just specify the weapons for that group in the loadout for the type of mission they are applicable to. You will not be able to select these weapons manually, but the game will load these automatically as specified in the loadout.ini This way you get 1 free group to assing to another weapon station and load it manually. I think this is great trick for getting assymetrical loadouts. I'd say, a good choice for a Tornado would be to number the wing outer stations group#7 and group#8 (by default they are #1 and #2), thus you will have 2 free groups to work with. You can place the BOZ107 and Skyshadow pods as default weaponry for each type of mission in the loadout.ini. So the game will automatically load these pods in every type of mission. If these are not used for some type of mission, just remove the entries from the loadout.ini for that type of mission. I am very fond of using this trick and in fact on a Su-22M-4, I have entered as many as 11 station group numbers, 6 manually loadable and 5 only automatically loadable. Hope that helps.

At Atreides: As promised, I checked my WOE install and the gunpod weapondata.ini entry. The only difference I noticed between the text provided in the V2.2 aircraft pack and the one in my weapondata.ini file is that I have checked that gunpod as exported: Exported=TRUE ExportStartYear=2008 ExportEndYear=2040 ExportAvailability=2 Apart from that, the usual procedure for adding a new weapon. So my suggestion to you is try to mark the gunpod as exported=TRUE and see what happens.

My pleasure, mate! I did manage to get the pod loaded on the F-35C, don't remember to have done anything special. Will double check later tonight and will tell you how I got it to appear.

Hey, guys, just gave the F-35A a try in WOE and yep, no gun fire. Then I found a simple mismatch between gundata.ini record and F-35A_data.ini. The gun type is listed in gundata.ini as 25MM_GAU-22/A The F-35A_data.ini lists the gun type as 25MM_GAU-22A The difference is a mere slash "/", so I made the gun type in F-35A_Data.ini match the one in gundata.ini and now I have a firing gun May someone else give it a try to confirm if that solves the issue?

Attention Su-30 fans: http://paralay.com/su30.html

Was there any restriction about multiple requests? Hope not! Would you be interested to build the pylon for the AN/AAQ-13 pod for the F-16C Block 30 as on the attached photo?

Cocas, if I remember correct, you will be working on the Su-30. Are you interested in making that belly-like structure under the fuselage (the pods are already available) to allow proper loadout for RECON missions:

During a nuclear attack, all windows of the crew cabin are supposed to be covered, to protect the crew from the light effect. So these 2 pods are used to allow the pilots see outside the cabin and safely fly the aircraft.

OK, Fire Fox, thanks for info! I have always liked the way aircraft with wingtip missiles look. Just see a F-2, a F-16, a F-18, a Su-27/30/34/35 and also Yak-130 May be that mod could be released as a what-if, since real J-10 does not seem to have such pylons... The one on the picture above - is it some prototype??? Cannot tell if it's real or Photoshop

Thanks, Fire Fox. Still, about those wingtip pylons and missiles, I checked the J-10A OUT file and did not see wingtip pylons listed. Is this some upgrade to the model you made yourself?

Hey Fire Fox, is that a new J-10 model on the picture? May be J-10C still WIP??? Looks good with those wingtip pylons

Have you checked the pictures and drawings here: http://www.airwar.ru/enc/fighter/su33kub.html You may also check here: http://paralay.com/su33.html

Next time will first count to 10 and then post!!! Thanks, ordway

I'm so unlucky... 90min. ago the file was here, now that I am home and ready to download and it's gone :cray:

Just a guess: pivot should be read as pitot tube???

If possible, copy the full sentence in a PM and send it over. I will see what I can do. I am not Russian, but I've read books and articles about aviation in Russian, so I think I'll manage. End of off-topic

If you have difficulties understanding any part of the text, just let me know, will try to help.

@76.IAP-Blackbird I've seen you write fluently in German, let see if you can read that good in Russian :biggrin: http://www.airwar.ru/enc/fighter/su33kub.html Some nice pictures, plus a couple of drawings, may be these will do good. Great job so far, thanks for your efforts!

That file seems to be removed for some reason... Will it be re-uploaded at some point?

Oh, I envy you so much, JAT81500. Wish I had that weapons load (tanks & pod) too... :cray: Hope, one day, when you are up to it, you will release these...

@ndicki Great idea, I like it. If you take a look at this model: http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=7828 you will see it includes as separate LOD some nice under-fuselage pylons "a-la Mirage". You may easily add them to the Mirage IV and your missiles and bombs will no longer float in the air beneath the aircraft. Since it will be for personal use (anyone can do it for himself) I guess it will not be a violation of author's rights... Well, just an idea, hope you do not mind.

Same thing here... I have that issue in WOE with both stock aircraft (say F-15A - 2 letter code on tail not showing) and add-ons (say FC and EricJ's F/A-18E - national insignia not showing up). Glad I am not alone with this issue....
