Iranian F-14 Weapons Pack

[DSplayer]

A weapons mod that allows for AIM-7Es, AIM-9Js, AIM-9Ps, AIM-23 (MIM-23) Hawks, and R-27R missiles to be mounted onto the Heatblur F-14 Tomcat. AIM-7Es can be mounted on all pylons except 1A and 8A, AIM-9Js and AIM-9Ps can be mounted on 1A, 8A, 1B, and 8B, and the R-27R on 1B and 8B.

Big thanks to @bennyboy9800 for the AIM-23 Hawk missile texture.

Bugs: Currently the R-27R is mounted on an APU-68 pylon that's mounted on an AIM-54 shoulder pylon since there are no independent R-27 pylon models. The AIM-7E currently uses the AIM-7M/MH/P model (ED issue).

Changelog:
V1.0 - Initial Release
V1.1 - Updated for OB 2.7.17.29493.
V1.2.0 - Zipped with OvGME so you can just drag and drop the zipped mod into your DCS mod repo (zipped folder no longer has the version number in filename).
V1.2.1 - Updated for OB 2.8.3.37556.
V1.2.2 - AIM-23 Hawk missile drag increased, HB weapon loadout limitations added.
V1.2.3 - Hotfix: Fixing the AIM-7E so it can actually be loaded and isn't duplicated.
V1.2.4 - Updated for TARPS and other OB additions.
V1.2.5 - Hotfix to actually make the TARPS usable.
V1.2.6 - Hotfix to allow AIM-7Es to be loaded on the tunnel pylons.

V1.2.8 - Updated for 2.9.6.57650
V1.2.9 - Updated for 2.9.9.2406
V1.2.10 - Updated for 2.9.14.8222 | Updated AIM-23 FM to match new MIM-23 FM.

Great job! The APU-68s are good enough considering the circumstances.

Awesome leap in realism!  Thanks!

I've heard anecdotal evidence of that but there isn't any photographic evidence that I could find (unlike the R-27R and Hawk missiles).

Any plans to update this for the new OB F-14 changes?

Should be updated already.

I'm having trouble getting this to work.  I followed the OvGME instructions and enabled it, but the new weapons aren't showing up on the cat in the ME.

When you activate the mod in OvGME, go into the main DCS installation folder, CoreMods, aircraft, F14, open the entry.lua, and check if it includes a line that has DSplayerWeapons.lua in it. If it doesn't something went wrong during the installation (or the game overrode it somehow). If it is there, maybe something happened with a recent update and broke the mod. Also it is important to remember that you cannot have multiple mods that edit the entry.lua file installed and have them work at the same time without modifying the entry.lua file.

[9thHunt]

nope. I don't see that line.

I'm pretty sure I setup OvGME right, since it was able to install the Community A4E.  I don't have anything else installed that would mess with the F-14's entry.lua file

The "Iranian F-14 Weapons Pack" should be the one in the mod repo folder and not the folder that has the version number (i.e. "Iranian_Weapons_Pack_(V1.1)"). Maybe in the future when I have the time, I'll make a mod archive version that eliminates any possible mixups.

Ok I updated the mod to V1.2.0 so you can just drag and drop the zipped folder that you download into your mod repo and it should work with OvGME (and it works with mine). If it doesn't, try the manual method of installing the mod by just dragging and dropping the CoreMods folder into your root DCS folder.

Hi there! I tried installing this mod, but it looks like the .zip file is empty.

Thanks for pointing that out! Seems like something messed up when I was zipping it last time but I just reuploaded the mod so it should be fixed now.

[DJ Reonic]

It appears this mod overwrites the removable fuel pylons ability of the tomcat.

I will check the V1.2.3 release build I put out since my dev build allowed me to remove the fuel pylons.

EDIT: Seems like V1.2.3 still has the fix I implemented so please verify you're using V1.2.3.

While the R-27ER would be cool, the R-27R was the only one to be mounted on the jet with photographic evidence that it was mounted. I want to keep this mod at least a little bit grounded to earth.

I found a bug today!

The wings of the R-27ER missile collided with the landing gear cover

And in reality, missiles are mounted on airplanes in this way：

Maybe you can find this model on Mig-29！

Yes, unfortunately, the pylon is incorrect in the mod but that's because they're not a separate model that I can use on the F-14.

Please DSplayer if possible to add the new TARPS? With the mod installed, it does not appear in the weapon options

Thanks
