F-4E and Lightning pod

[Bewsher]

This mod has Lightning pod attached to pylon 3. again don't put anything else there as it will misalign. All other pylons are fine as is.

 

Copy to Scripts/database/planes directory.

 

Remember to backup Just in case the game wont start or something else.

 

See bottom posts for new versions. :)

So, I liked this idea, but I don't like the idea of having all the different versions for different pods, so I went and made a workaround. Unfortunately, the best I could do was create a new weapon in the db_weapons_data.lua that rotated the AIM-7M missile and then assign that to the forward Sparrow wells. To get this to work, you need to add the following code under [CAT_AIR_TO_AIR] to your db_weapons_data.lua file.

           {
               CLSID    =    "AIM7M_F4",
               Picture    =    "aim7m.png",
               displayName    =    _("AIM-7M"),
               wsTypeOfWeapon    =    {4,    4,    7,    21},
               attribute    =    {4,    4,    32,    112},
               Count     =     1,
               Cx_pil    =    0.0006,
               Weight    =    230,
               Elements    =    
               {
                   [1]    =    
                   {
                       Position    =    {0,    0,    0},
                       ShapeName    =    "F4-PILON",
                   }, 
                   [2]    =    
                   {
                       DrawArgs    =    
                       {
                           [1]    =    {1,    1},
                           [2]    =    {2,    1},
                       }, -- end of DrawArgs
                       Position    =    {0,    0,    0},
                       ShapeName    =    "AIM-7",
                       Rotation    =     {45,1.3,0.4},
                   }, 
               }, -- end of Elements
           }, 

Then this lua of the F-4E will work fine, though old missions will still have wonky AIM-7M placement; to fix it every mission with an F-4E will need its loadout changed. Just assign the AIM-7M for pylons 3 and 7 again.
