• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

I think I know the answer to this already, but just in case ..can weapons be added to aircraft without a pylon node in the mesh? In this case I want to add a feature into an external model that doesn't exist in the Gmax. I have it in the back of my mind
that someone did this way back in time.
 
Yes and no. If you want to attach something visually, you must have a hardpoint somewhere in the model, otherwise it defaults to the center of the model and is not visible until the weapon is dropped. I think I have used this in the past to add certain effects to aircraft, but it's been a really long time since I've tinkered with that.
