Halifax bomb load arrangement

SOH-CM-2025
T thought that I had a diagram on how the bomb bays and loads are arranged, but can't find it. there seem to be a lot of pylons associated with the Halifax across various iterations from AvH, ETO, and TOW versions. All prior to TOW seemed to just use PylonType="pylon_null", whereas TOW versions have PylonType="pylon_halifax_single, PylonType="pylon_halifax_500_2, PylonType="pylon_sbc_15", PylonType="pylon_halifax_500_2_bow", as well as PylonType="pylon_null" Ted is not around for answering right now, so does anyone else have any ideas as if I load the below, I get CTD even though a bdp file is generated.

<Loadout Name="PATHFINDER (6) 250lb_Incendiary_Internal + (12) 4.5in Green_Red Target Flares" MissionType="CAS,Strike">

Okay, I just ran some tests, and find the same issue. Selecting any loadout using flares goes straight to desktop. I'll dig a bit deeper into this when I have more time.
 
Thanks Andy. I should say that I used the same flares in a Stirling and Lanc; no issue. I used an ETO 500lb incendiary in the Hali B2, also no issues. I think it's some sort of pylon issue?
