Jerec Posted March 9, 2018 Posted March 9, 2018 Wonder why it´s impossible to alter the Harrier´s weapons on the pylons such as sidewinders or AGM-122 on every pylon by editing the AV8BNA.lua. If I change any weapon entry in the pylons line in any way the Harrier disappears from the selection menu in the game. Don´t know! With the M-2000C Mirage it works! Any idea how to put Sidewinders AGM-122 or Mavs on every pylon?
ST0RM Posted March 9, 2018 Posted March 9, 2018 I successfully added the Matra rocket pods to the Harrier (going for the GR7 look), but they wouldnt fire. It's a software interface thing that probably doesnt recognize those weapon ID codes.
Tilly-B Posted March 9, 2018 Posted March 9, 2018 I was having this conversation with someone a while ago We wondered if, because the AGM 122 is 'basically' a Sidewinder, if it cant go on the inner pylons because it would get thermal returns from the front nozzles and be impossible to use? Although IR Mavs can go on the inner pylons, so I wonder if anyone has more info on this?
Jerec Posted March 9, 2018 Author Posted March 9, 2018 I´ll try it out with the IR Mavs. In my experience, every editing of the AV8BNA.lua makes the Harrier disappear from the selection menu in the game.
SUBS17 Posted March 9, 2018 Posted March 9, 2018 Depends on the type of pylon as to what can be mounted. [sIGPIC] [/sIGPIC]
joey45 Posted March 9, 2018 Posted March 9, 2018 Yeh, Tried to add some BL755s and not worked. IT's not a bug I think but by design. The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

Flagrum Posted March 10, 2018 Posted March 10, 2018 Modifying the loadout options in the lua should at least result in a corresponding visual model in-game, even if the weapons might not be usable from the cockpit. So if the module diappears completely from the aircraft drop-down menu, it sounds to me as if you made an error. If a syntax error prevents DCS to actually read and apply the lua file, it might just not show up there. So, my suggstion here: check your changes and check the DCS.log for scripting errors.
