moght be 308 yeah, i typed too quick.

 

you might have to add arg value for the rest of the tip loadouts to say arg value 0.0

 

Im in my office so I cant test, I also dont have a shape, other then SuperHornetWingtip Pods to test with.

 

Might also have to decrease the drag coefficient, as its for a 480 gal size tank and not a 50 gal wing tip, the drag coeff from the Su-27 ECM tip pods would prolly work better.

 

I'll post a revised code in a lil bit.

I need time to clean up some code, because I need a separate EDM for Left/Right Tanks.

I'd assume cosmetic only as the Pylons in the PFM and PSM are not modelled to transfer fuel.

I hope you can upload a copy of your F-5E.lua file, did six trials, adding and replacing your text lines, but I still seem to mess it up. ( I'm not an .lua expert but know you can make mistakes quickly and make the file useless )

DCS won't start up when I install my edited file ...

 

Thanks anyway for your ultra fast work on this SkateZilla !

Worked out fine for me, try this JGSME version i made. It only works with the US f-5 SouthEast Asia skin. And whatever numbers i change in the position i cannot move the tanks? Am i missing something?

Thx for the work SkateZilla

I will resolve the tank positioning within the source 3d file before exporting,

Hopefully tonight or tomorrow, depends on how hot it is

 

its a Lose / Lose Scenario for a month or so in the summer,

HOT w/ AC ON = Constant Power Outages in my Area due to power draw overloads from everyone's AC Units,

 

Hot with AC OFF = Unable to Push System too hard to avoid any overheating on the GPUs and Harddisks

07/10/2017: NOTE, FOR DCS WORLD 2.1, I NEED TO ADJUST TEXTURES and RE-EXPORT, PLEASE STAND BY

 

*Revised on 10/04/16 To Remove A Step*

Attached is a New .RAR w/ the EDM Files, DDS Files, PSD File, and Instructions are Below:

 

BACKUP THE F-5E.LUA BEFORE YOU EDIT IT!

 

 

Modify the F-5E.lua in NOTEPAD++

(Revised on 10/04/2016)

Under Local TIPs, Add:

{ CLSID = "{PTB_50_F5A_AUXTANK-L}", arg = 308, arg_value = 1.0, required ={{station =7, loadout={"{PTB_50_F5A_AUXTANK-R}"}}}},            -- Wingtip 50 GAL Tank
{ CLSID = "{PTB_50_F5A_AUXTANK-R}", arg = 314, arg_value = 1.0, required ={{station =1, loadout={"{PTB_50_F5A_AUXTANK-L}"}}}},            -- Wingtip 50 GAL Tank

 

 

Add Loadout Declarations to the Bottom of F-5E.lua, Below the make-tiger() Line:

declare_loadout(
{
	category		= CAT_FUEL_TANKS,
	CLSID			= "{PTB_50_F5A_AUXTANK-L}",
	attribute		=  {wsType_Air,wsType_Free_Fall,wsType_FuelTank,WSTYPE_PLACEHOLDER},
	Picture			= "PTB.png",
	displayName		= _("F-5A Wing Tip Aux Fuel Tank 50 U.S. GAL - Left"),
	Weight_Empty	= 15, --kg
	Weight			= 15 +  3.084 * 50, --kg
	Cx_pil			= 0.000244140625,  
	shape_table_data = 
	{
		{
			name 	= "PTB_50_F5A-Left",
			file	= "F5A_WingTipAuxTankL";
			life	= 1;
			fire	= { 0, 1};
			username	= "F5A_WingTipAuxTankL";
			index	= WSTYPE_PLACEHOLDER;
		},
	},
	Elements	= 
	{
		{
			ShapeName	= "F5A_WingTipAuxTankL",
		}, 
	}, 
}
)

declare_loadout(
{
	category		= CAT_FUEL_TANKS,
	CLSID			= "{PTB_50_F5A_AUXTANK-R}",
	attribute		=  {wsType_Air,wsType_Free_Fall,wsType_FuelTank,WSTYPE_PLACEHOLDER},
	Picture			= "PTB.png",
	displayName		= _("F-5A Wing Tip Aux Fuel Tank 50 U.S. GAL - Right"),
	Weight_Empty	= 15, --kg
	Weight			= 15 +  3.084 * 50, --kg
	Cx_pil			= 0.000244140625,  
	shape_table_data = 
	{
		{
			name 	= "PTB_50_F5A-Right",
			file	= "F5A_WingTipAuxTankR";
			life	= 1;
			fire	= { 0, 1};
			username	= "F5A_WingTipAuxTankR";
			index	= WSTYPE_PLACEHOLDER;
		},
	},
	Elements	= 
	{
		{
			ShapeName	= "F5A_WingTipAuxTankR",
		}, 
	}, 
}
)

 

Now Modify the Livery description.lua You Use with the Tanks to Load the Textures:

Add:

{"F5A_WingTipAuxTankL", 0 ,"F5A_WingTipAuxTank_DIFF", false};
{"F5A_WingTipAuxTankL", 2 ,"F5A_WingTipAuxTank_SPEC", false};
{"F5A_WingTipAuxTankR", 0 ,"F5A_WingTipAuxTank_DIFF", false};
{"F5A_WingTipAuxTankR", 2 ,"F5A_WingTipAuxTank_SPEC", false};
{"F5A_WingTipAuxTank_GLASS", 0 ,"F5A_WingTipAuxTank_GLASS", false};

 

Now Download RAR,

Extract the .EDMS to /CoreMods/Aircraft/F-5E/Shapes/ Folder

(Wing Tank Shape Taken from T-38/F-5A/B MAX File Created By FastCargo)

 

Extract .DDS Files to the Livery Folder You want to Use Tanks With, ie /CoreMods/Aircraft/F-5E/Liveries/F-5E/USA Standard/
