Stores not appearing on Pylons

[csharry]

Hello All,

 

I have had the Sim for about 2 weeks, i have spent most of my time learning to fly..with mixed results. Having got to the stage where i can manage the basics i deiceided to try my hand at Gunnery. Here is where i noticed that no stores show up on the wing pylons;

 

1.I have set the weapons in the missions and they also show up in the briefing info.

2. I have the stores indicator lights on the Armament Panel.

3.The ordance shows when i engage the targets. ie the missles or rockets fire..and somtimes hit!!

4.The Missiles and Rocket pod are not showing up in external view under the wings on the hardpoints.

 

I have Modman 7.1 installed and have various skins loaded.

 

Any suggestions?

 

Cheers, H

Does this manifest equally no matter which skins you use? Same with standard skins? And what if you use modman to uninstall all addon skins? I would appear like the textures not getting loaded for whatever reason, and erroneous install of other skins would be the top candidate.

also we need to know your system specs.

First off thanks for the replies

 

Ok first question; yes all skins, i have uninstalled every skin and still get the same problem. Now using the 'default' scheme and its still happening. Starting the game with DCS Max..same result.

 

As regards my specs, i am at work atm but roughly;

 

Vista32, Intel Dual Core E5200, 3GB DDR2, 320GB HD and G-Force 9800GT.

A very strange problem you have there. I have had graphics glitches before now where half the heli is invisible but never stores not showing up. A Couple of things to try.

 

1) On ground at airfield, select groundcrew comms (rotary switch on panel by left knee) and do a re-arm with default stores and a different weapons load.

 

2) Do a re-install of the game, its possible a .lua file is slightly corrupted.

What mods do you have?

 

It's possible that you installed a skin e.g. for weapons, that corrupted the package or that does not render correctly. Try uninstalling skins and/or mods, especially if you have reskinned weapons or weapon-models.

Feuerfalke, i have no wpn mods at all, also i have unistalled all skins and all other mods..no joy.

 

Druid, i will try the ground re-arm..dont fancy another re-install atm

 

Thanks lads

You could check the error.log and errors.log files to see if there's anything that looks like the sim looking for a texture and not finding it. They'll be in the temp folder within your DCS installation.

Thanks for the replies, still have the problem, looks like a re-install.....

[csharry]

Yep. if you have this problem, then a Re-install fixes it. Also fixes your rockets detonating in the pods as well.

 

Thanks for the replies.
