• We have to do a little server maintenance that will take the forums off line for an about 2-3 hours. Right now we are planning for Sunday night 9:00 PM May 25

Alphasim Crusader goes native FSX

Okay now

Wow! Magic! :encouragement:

All I did was add a texture.cfg file and pop it into the VMF235 folder and no more black landing gears.... Thanks henk :ernaehrung004:

THink I will back this one up for future reference.

GA, check the content of the texture.cfg file, it tries to call the common textures like the gear from a folder which does not exist in you case.

You also mention^ 3. Copy a couple of missing F8-J textures over from my texture VF-24 folder.

Which files are copied over from the VF-24 folder. Just so I know in the future.
THanks

GA, if you look inside the texture.VF24 folder you see all the unique textures + thumbnail + texture.cfg needed by model.F8-J. All other textures needed for the model are in the "texture" folder (which has the common, shared by all models textures). By comparing the texture.VF24 folder against the FS9 repaint files you want to carry over you should be able to make most of them work.
 
I don't seem to be able to get the Mk82's to show; Zunis yes, bombs no. Only missiles are shown in the payload and no amount of weight seems to add the bombs. Can someone tell me how to do it please!!

Dave, are you sure you use my aircraft.cfg version? If not, check the [weight_and_balance] section, this should be the correct stations layout:

max_number_of_stations = 3
station_load.0 =180, 22.10, 0.0, 0.59, Pilot
station_load.1 = 0, 3.75, 0.0, 0.00, Missiles +800
station_load.2 = 0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.00, Bombs +4400

the 2nd station is used for AIM9's or Zuni's depending on the model. The US Navy/French models do not have bombs.

First I heard of this, so find a Marine texture in the Aircraft.cfg file

weight_and_balance]
max_gross_weight = 34280
empty_weight = 17836
reference_datum_position = 0.000, 0.000, 0.000
empty_weight_CG_position = 0.000, 0.000, 0.000
empty_weight_pitch_MOI= 89275 ;101971 ;80271
empty_weight_roll_MOI = 22222 ;11691 ;26442
empty_weight_yaw_MOI = 56800 ;33392 ;56810
empty_weight_coupled_MOI = 0.00
CG_forward_limit= 2.0 ;0.00
CG_aft_limit = -2.0 ;1.00
max_number_of_stations = 3
station_load.0 =180, 22.10, 0.0, 0.59, Pilot
station_load.1 = 0, 3.75, 0.0, 0.00, AIM9/Zuni +800 <<<<< If I want AIM9/Zuni just and a + then a number?
station_load.2 = 0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.00, Bombs +4400 >>>>>> Ditto?
 
GA, the loadouts are all or nothing, you cannot add/substract single missiles/bombs.

model.F8-E : zero or 4 sidewinders
model.F8-J : zero or 4 sidewinders
model.F8-J_FrenchNavy : zero or 2 Mica's
model.F8-J_Marines : zero or 8 zuni's and/or zero or 8 bombs

I.e, you enter zero in the payload station to hide a weapon, or the weight value as described in the kneepad to show it.

Hi Henk,

I'm assuming that on the J, that there is no option for "no pylons" - right?

thanks,

station_load.1 = 0, 3.75, 0.0, 0.00, AIM9/Zuni +800 which one of the numbers on this line would I make changes and what numbers do I use (What does the +800 have to do with anything?
station_load.2 = 0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.00, Bombs +4400 > Same here what does the +4400 mean?



So, if I want AIM9/Zunis to show or not show what would the different entries look like?

There are 2 ways to change the loadout.
1) Normally you would go to the FSX Fuel & Payload screen and type in the weight to make an item show. For AIM/Zuni, type 800 (lbs), if you don't want to see them leave the weight at zero. This is how I have set up my files.

2) Make the loadouts sticky by entering the weight value directly into the Aircraft.cfg file. To make the AIM/Zuni sticky, change this line as follows:

station_load.1 = 800, 3.75, 0.0, 0.00, AIM9/Zuni +800

BTW: The text "AIM9/Zuni +800" is just a label which is shown in the FSX Payload screen. I thought it would help people figuring out the correct values to enter :banghead: LOL.

How did you get the bombs to show. I only got winders. What entries did you make on the VMA-235 bird?
