Payload Mod

[Sport]

I'm not entirely sure where to start or look, so I'll defer to the expertise of the community. I'd like to add a SEAD role to the F-5E and add AGM-45 Shrikes to the the payload list. Apparently this is a valid loadout for some variants of the F-5 and I want to do some testing to see how the ARMs work in-game. Can someone give me a hand?

 

Thanks in advance

ADD this line to the F-5E.lua on outer pylon with Notepad++

 

 

{ CLSID = "{3E6B632D-65EB-44D2-9501-1C2D04515405}",arg_value = 0.0,attach_point_position = {-0.092, -0.005, 0.0}}, -- AGM-45B

 

 

AND this line too.

 

 

aircraft_task(SEAD),

 

 

to other aircraft_tasks section in lua file. Backup before editing too.

 

 

Also they dont fire under pilot control only AI controlled. However you can load them to your wing man and radio/task them to fire the AGM-45s at air defenses.

 

Have left out the F-5E.lua file as its just a copy/paste above lines to that file and further updates will change such file.

Shrike pylon positions back a bit on outer pylons versus fowards slightly for inner ones.

Wow... that's awesome thank's for the help!

No Prob. Same issue as you've found that it wont fire as a player only as AI.

One day- I'll find a way to make these type of mods pilot fireable :) it's a personal challenge....

 

Then again there are people here who are way smarter than me who haven't yet, so I may be dreamin'

The thing is, AI can use any weapons, like here for example

 

The human can only use the avionics of the plane/module, and the shrike needs another avionic type, like su-25t or in future f 18, so if you would replace the f5 avionic with the su 25 avionic, which wouldn't make really sense, then you could fire them

[Hook47]

In a perfect world, what I would like to accomplish is to somehow import the ELINT pod mode ONLY into another aircraft, leaving the other avionics in place. In other words you hit a key to enter ELINT mod, the normal HUD is replaced by the ELINT SU-25T Display, you fire the weapons then exit the mode. I had this especially in mind for the M2000C to simulate the ARMAT missile, but if this is possible or not is something I'm still working on determining.
