Model/EDM question

[Nightstorm]

While waiting on the F-16C's center line fuel tank I've been toying around with using the one from the VSN_F16 mod. By editing the F16C.lua under coremods you can add that tank to the viper, it shows up, its fuel is accurately reflected on the instruments and you can jettison it selective or emergency.

 

I've improved the textures for it as well and made some different versions for custom liveries.

 

All of that work great.

 

One thing that bugs me a bit is that the nose gear and it's door clip through the very front of the tank when cycled. As if the tank is slightly too far forward and needs to sit back another foot or two on it's pylon.

 

I've been looking for a way to make that happen. Is that something I can do? I know I can export to EDM files from Max 14 but I don't know if I can make that change with a lua file, the X/Y/Z for Pylon 5 didn't appear to have any affect, or if it needs to be changed on the tank model itself and reexported to EDM. If it's the second, is there a way to edit EDM files?

 

And if not, I guess the only recourse would be to try and contact the author of the model. I think razo+r is the model author, so I've reached out via PM.

 

Thanks,

Issue resolved. It can be edited via Lua file to change the mount position.
