Uxi Posted April 17, 2020 Posted April 17, 2020 (edited) Is there a reason we can't put smoke pods on stations 1B or 8B? I like to run with a LANTIRN and TCST pod on aerobatics, but would be nice to run 4 smokewinders now and then. Read somewhere in the docs should be able to run 4 but not finding it right now. Was it in the EA manual?

BonerCat Posted April 18, 2020 Posted April 18, 2020 The smokewinder essentially mimics the sidewinder to the aircraft it's mounted on. The interface between them is the same as the interface between the live missile and the aircraft. Because of that, any hardpoint capable of carrying a sidewinder, would in theory be capable of carrying a smokewinder. My guess as to why it's not available on stations 1b and 8b is that Nobody asked for it yet, or thought someone would ask for it. Just a guess tho.
