Hello everyone, I have a question about the location of weapons .ini files. I have been looking for it using CAT extractor. I am unable to find the .ini files for the weapons in SF2. May I ask if anyone know where I can find it? If someone knows which weapons pack is up-to-date and is released for SF2, please let me know too. I will contact author about tweaking their .ini for weapons, respectfully. If the permission is approved, I will start .ini dancing through a long list of weapons. The information and advice are much appreciated, as always. I am still looking for files again in SF2. I am working on the project that sorts the weapon list like I did with the aircraft list. Cheers!

Curious here - editing the ini for a new anti-ship missile. Wonder what's the scalar on Explosives= ? I mean for a 500 lb Mk 82 it's 89.000000. Only 89 of WHAT? For reference a 1,000 lb Mk 83 is 202.0000000000. Thanks in advance.

Guys, you may remember my F-106 aircraft and cockpit MAX file question. thread where I explored the possibility of rendering the canopy frame of the F-106 cockpit transparent the simulate the Project Six Shooter canopy. While the idea I had did not work I haven't forgotten about it. Today while I was looking over some B-52 stuff I came across a link in a ReadMe file to the thread "Generic Cockpits: applications to strategic air warfare" started by Lexx_Luthor at the ThirdWire forums back in 2007 that hit me with a work around solution to the issue. Feast your eyes upon this! All you need are the following INI file edits... ...in the "F-106A_DATA.INI" add the following. [AircraftData] Component[008]=HidePart1<----Append these two entries to the the end of the [AircraftData] section component list. Component[009]=HidePart2 Then add the two entries below after the [VertTail] section of the data file just above the "// Crew ---------------------------------------------------------" line. [HidePart1] ModelNodeName=CockpitCover ShowFromCockpit=FALSE DamageRating=DESTROYED HasAeroCoefficients=FALSE [HidePart2] ModelNodeName=Glass ShowFromCockpit=FALSE DamageRating=DESTROYED HasAeroCoefficients=FALSE After that is done go into the F-106A_COCKPIT.INI and do the following... [CockpitSeat001] ModelName=F-106_Pit Position=0.0,5.8,1.0 Offset=0.0,0.0,0.0 ViewAngles=0.0,0.0,0.0 MaxYaw=160 <----Edited to increase range of head moment. MinYaw=-160 <----Edited to increase range of head moment. MaxPitch=90 <----Edited to increase range of head moment. MinPitchFront=-74 <----Edited to increase range of head moment. MinPitchRear=-50 <----Edited to increase range of head moment. LightRange=1.5 LightInnerConeAngle=50 LightOuterConeAngle=60 LightAngles=0.0,-44.0,0.0 DiffuseLightFactor=0.5 NightLightOn=0.25 NightLightColor=0.6,0.3,0.4 Gunsight=GunsightFront Instrument Instrument[001]=AirspeedIndicator ... Instrument[054]=Move1 <----Append these three entries to the end of the "CockpitSeat001" instruments list. Instrument[055]=Move2 Instrument[056]=Move3 Then add the three entries below the the end of the F-106A_COCKPIT.INI. [Move1] Type=AIRSPEED_INDICATOR NodeName=CanopyFrame MovementType=POSITION_Z Set[01].Position=-99 Set[01].Value=0.0 Set[02].Position=-99 Set[02].Value=1.0 [Move2] Type=AIRSPEED_INDICATOR NodeName=RWindow MovementType=POSITION_Z Set[01].Position=-99 Set[01].Value=0.0 Set[02].Position=-99 Set[02].Value=1.0 [Move3] Type=AIRSPEED_INDICATOR NodeName=RWindow01 MovementType=POSITION_Z Set[01].Position=-99 Set[01].Value=0.0 Set[02].Position=-99 Set[02].Value=1.0 Edit: minor spelling fix.

I have been working on an ini file of an MM38 Exocet for use as an ASM by surface ships in SF2:NA, however I am having an issue. The missile seems to only launch when the "ShowMissile=" entry is set to "TRUE". If I set it to FALSE the ship will not launch the missile. Now I have tried the same test missions with other ships with "ShowMissile=FALSE" set for their SSM's. They work just fine and the ship I am setting the MM38 Exocet up for also shoots when I use the RGM-84A from WhiteBoySamurai's cruise missile pack. Any idea what would cause the "ShowMissile=" flag to make a weapon not launch most of the time? I get the feeling that I am missing something that is staring me in the face but I don't know what. Here is to Data from the ship's data.ini file for the gunner and missile.

If anyone has more accurate data on the MM38 Exocet please let me know what numbers need to be adjusted. The sources I have don't say what the BoosterDuration and BoosterAccel should be for example.
