Black_Hawk Posted October 1, 2006 Posted October 1, 2006 Does anyone know how to make MER munitions? Like MERs of dumb bombs, or MER of 2 AIM-9 for A-10? What I want to make is a MER of 2 launchers of unguided rockets for Russian a/c. (S-8, UB-13, S-25) 159th GAR LockOnFiles CAW Team
Maverick-90 Posted October 1, 2006 Posted October 1, 2006 doesn't work, forget it, many tried before..
Force_Feedback Posted October 1, 2006 Posted October 1, 2006 MERs have their own clsid appointed to them. In theory you could do a swap, so you'll have an empty MER model, and then add the needed number of pylons (3-6 or so), with the bomb/missile/rocket loads you can carry on the MER. So basically you'll have an empty MER and 6 new pylons. The only snag is that you'll have to set the coordinates of the pylons, using the 3 axes and it blows without a gui, cause you can't directly see where your MER bombs will end up. Offcourse there would be no nice bomb clamps like on the su-25t. And if you add su-25T weaponry, you also may get extra pylons sticking out of the MER. It can be done, but not directly. If you're using a weapon that is in some .lua file (where most 'reworked' weapons are in, forgot the name, but you could have 1 pylon with 99 missiles :P), and add as many bombs as you like, but they will be in a state of dimensional flux :lol: Creedence Clearwater Revival:worthy:
Black_Hawk Posted October 2, 2006 Author Posted October 2, 2006 So, basically, you're saying that it can be done? Could you remember the filename? 159th GAR LockOnFiles CAW Team
Force_Feedback Posted October 2, 2006 Posted October 2, 2006 Errm, no, but some .lua, lemme search. lockon/bazar/racks.lua I've never tried decreasing the number, only made some uber heavy R-73 pylon for off-bore testing (unl weapons lag too much) Creedence Clearwater Revival:worthy:
Guest IguanaKing Posted October 2, 2006 Posted October 2, 2006 Does anyone know how to make MER munitions? Like MERs of dumb bombs, or MER of 2 AIM-9 for A-10? MER of 2 AIM-9s for the A-10? The AIM-9s for the A-10 are already on an LAU-114/A, which is a dual rail launcher. There are all kinds of munitions available for the A-10 in the game that just aren't implemented, but they can easily be added. Do a google search for a utility called LOPE. It will allow you to hang other weapons configurations on any aircraft in the game. Keep in mind though, that if you're going for a realistic payload, A-10s were never certified to carry MERs (which are generally 6 weapons each), they CAN carry TER's though, and mount a maximum of 3 on each. The TERs are incorrectly identified as MERs in the game though, so just look for quantities of 3 or less for weapons. LOPE is an easy method of modifying your MEinit.xml file. I have a realistic weapons loadout for the A-10 already, if you'd like to give that a try.
Solidburn Posted October 2, 2006 Posted October 2, 2006 So...what's a MER? "I know Not that which you have said, but if I had medication I would (Robin Williams)" [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Black_Hawk Posted October 2, 2006 Author Posted October 2, 2006 Look, I only want to add dual unguided rocket lanuchers for Russian aircraft. So, dual S-8(CM) launcher and a dual S-25 launcher. And maybe a dual UB-13 launcher. So, how hard can it be? 159th GAR LockOnFiles CAW Team
Force_Feedback Posted October 2, 2006 Posted October 2, 2006 Hard because both aim-9 rails all come with missiles on them, and not empty. Creedence Clearwater Revival:worthy:
Black_Hawk Posted October 2, 2006 Author Posted October 2, 2006 I am really eager to do this and I'll keep trying :) 159th GAR LockOnFiles CAW Team
Guest IguanaKing Posted October 2, 2006 Posted October 2, 2006 So...what's a MER? Multiple Ejector Rack. (Usually 6 weapons or more) TER= Triple Ejector Rack Blackhawk, You can change weapon loadouts on the Su-25T as well I believe (could be wrong though). Give LOPE a try and see what it lets you do. ;)
hitman Posted October 3, 2006 Posted October 3, 2006 Heres a question for you IK. I used to have this model of an A-10 (I forget tail number this was lo' so many years ago) that had a MER on the centerline. Yes it was a Revell model, and no it wasnt the woodland BDU pattern camo. It was a peanut butter schemed a/c. This wasnt technically correct was it? It was the one only model of the A-10 I could find that had this. Intel 13900k @ 5.8ghz | 64gb GSkill Trident Z | MSI z790 Meg ACE | Zotac RTX4090 | Asus 1000w psu | Slaw RX Viper 2 pedals | VPForce Rhino/VKB MCE Ultimate + STECS Mk2 MAX / Virpil MongoosT50+ MongoosT50CM | Virpil TCS+/ AH64D grip/custom AH64D TEDAC | Samsung Odyssey G9 + Odyssey Ark | Next Level Racing Flight Seat Pro | WinWing F-18 MIPS | No more VR for this pilot.
Guest IguanaKing Posted October 3, 2006 Posted October 3, 2006 Yup, you'd be right on that, Hitman. An MER on an operational A-10 is technically incorrect. I think there were a few RDT&E Hog's that carried one or two, but no deployed airframes. Revell wasn't the only one that messed this up. My current 1/32nd A-10 from Trumpeter also has MER's in the kit. That's OK though, because they also have the correct TER-9s, LAU-88s, and LAU-114s...not to mention that the detail on everything but the pit is absolutely spectacular. This one's going to take a long time to build, I'm finally almost finished with the seat...LOL. :D
