Installed the Team Daedalus Fw190A3_Jabo and the Team Daedalus FW190A-5_Jabo_JG54. Both have 2 payloads of (4) 50 Kg bombs and an external pylon for the bombs along with other different payloads The 1st payload is vw_190a_sc50_er4_grav(4) and the 2nd is vw_190a_sc50_er4_bei(4). When you choose the 2nd one (bei 4), the bombs and the external pylon show up in the external view and drop 2 at a time. But when you choose the 1st one (grav 4), only the pylon is visible but no bombs. When you drop the bombs, they come out of the fuselodge behind the landing gear alongside both sides of
the pylon.
I thought that German single engine fighters can't carry internal ordinance. Could the vertical hardpoint locations be off? The longitudinal and horizontal locations seem ok. Any guidance is appreciated. Thanks.
 
Okay, the problem is in the weapons bombs .bgl. The SCASM section covering the sc50 grau bombs is corrupted. To fix this globally I would have to replace the weapons folder in every Team Daedalus FW190 in the CFS2 Resources files of which there are a great many.

I'm not going to do that, as you are the first person in 12 years to note the issue. (Again the total lack of feedback to the authors). Instead I am posting a v.2 version of the Team Daedalus FW weapons package so anyone who cares can make the change themselves.

Thanks so much!
 
Installed the Daedalus package and it worked like a charm. I still have an issue with finding the vw_etc504 for sc's FW190 conversion,but I found a workaround that got rid of the error message. Thanks again
 
That's odd because I quickly checked a Jabo on my ETO install and the bombs are displayed and working fine on my end. In the FW190A-5_Jabo_JG54 and Fw190A3 U3 Jabo downloads the vw_190a_bombs.bgl is from 2014, in my install the vw_190a_bombs.bgl is from 2017, maybe that was the cause? I have downloaded and saved every Fw-190s and Me-109s from Team Daedalus before the move from .com to .org, I could check the zip files to see where I got the 2017 version?

Edit: Ok, found it. My version comes from the Team Daedalus FW190F-8Pb1 SG77 download https://sim-outhouse.org/sohforums/resources/team-daedalus-fw190f-8pb1-sg77-zip.1620/ , I installed the files from this one so I never had any problems. Maybe only the 2014 file was corrupted?

It's possible Ludo. I didn't check every 190. But that's exactly why I am posting a weapons package that folks can use IF they run into the problem rather than trying to check every single plane myself.

I agree it's possible too. I used the vw_190a bombs and mounts for my workaround also and everything was fine I think the vw files I used are newer than 2014.
 
I just know where the vw_etc504 file originated from in sc's FW190A conversion. If you go to "sc-jrl-fw190a.zip" , you'll see the file name in the 3 payloads in the planes DP file. Maybe someone has an idea of where the file came from. I sure don't. Thanks for your replies.
 
It seems that the site where SC got the original aircraft for the conversion may have changed domain names or doesn't exist anymore. When you try to click on the link to it SC posted on the conversion description, it sends you to a Portuguese website with a different name and saying the page was deleted. I'll keep checking.
 
Paul Straney's Virtual Wings website appears to be down.

Kurt, would you mind checking with Paul?
 
Paul has pretty much left the community. I haven't heard from him for a few years. He left all the unfinished project files to me to finish, which I mostly have. His website is not down but hasn't been updated since Team Daedalus was posting the Bf109 G series - before the Covid pandemic. It's not a secure website so some browsers/antivirus software may not let you open it.

Thanks Kurt, yes that seems to the case.

Do you think he would mind if his downloads are hosted on this site? There are four of his Lockheed Hudson downloads already here.
 
Probably. HIs read me files say you need his express permission to post anywhere else. Not sure why his Hudsons are here unless someone asked to do so. I will PM his email addy to you if you want to try to contact him.
 
Thanks for the updated Fw-190 weapons, Kurt.
Unfortunately I haven´t used these airplanes in any missions yet, but I did fly them in your JG11 campaign, which I greatly enjoyed.

Hi KD. I confirmed what Kurt said about the vw site.
It's not down, and has not been updated for a while.
I was just on it earlier today. It's still not a secure site but I was able to access it to get a FW190D and the needed files for it. As Kurt said, some browsers may not allow access. Cheers.

Found the file. It's a bmp texture file . I found it in the Virtual Wings site under Projects/ FW 190D/Weapons Pack for the FW-190 Series/vw_dora_weapons_pack_v11/ scenedb/weapons/texture/ vw_etc504 . The FW190 series weapons pack has 4 separate folders and the vw_ dora pack is one them. Also the site has a number of terrific looking FW190D planes.I installed one and it flys great and you'll need the panel download also along with the weapons download on the site to complete any of the FW190Ds. Just in case anyone is interested. SOH rocks!
 
Hi Steven,

Yes thanks, Paul's site is still there. You just have to ignore the warnings and go in.

I have all the downloads from that site. My particular interest is the Lockheed Hudson. Paul did a couple of RAAF liveries - one for 6 Squadron which my dad worked on at Milne Bay, New Guinea, and one for 459 Squadron which the father of one of my best friends flew from Benghazi, Libya.

Cheers,
Kevin
