Ju 52 project weapon problem

N

nschley

SOH-CM-2023
I recently installed some cargo planes including the "Tante Ju" of the Ju 52 project.
Everything works fine excepted the weapons load (the guns work!): All the cargo/bombs/parachuters show up, but I can not drop them.
I checked everything but I am unable to locate the problem.:banghead:

btw same problem with the Bristol freighter ....

Check any readme files and make sure that they can be dropped. If they should be drop-able than to me it sounds like the dp of the "weapon" is set to be un-drop-able by mistake.

Hi Allen,

thanks for your hint!
I consulted one of my archived guides on damage profiles and indeed discovered a mistake in the original dp file (Junkers_Ju52_JU-AIR_v61).

I have replaced the bomb section

[PAYLOAD.1]
; Payload = Bomben - Licht 200 kg [Bombs, Light]
mount.0=wep_gc_sc50, 1, 2
mount.1=wep_gc_sc50, 1, 3
mount.2=wep_gc_sc50, 1, 4
mount.3=wep_gc_sc50, 1, 1
...

by

[PAYLOAD.1]
; Payload = Bomben - Licht 200 kg [Bombs, Light]
mount.0=wep_gc_sc50, 1, -1
mount.1=wep_gc_sc50, 1, -1
mount.2=wep_gc_sc50, 1, -1
mount.3=wep_gc_sc50, 1, -1
...

Same for [PAYLOAD.2] which looks now like this

[PAYLOAD.2]
; Payload = Bomben - Mittel 1000 kg [Bombs, Medium]
mount.0=wep_gc_sc250, 2, -1
mount.1=wep_gc_sc250, 2, -1
mount.2=wep_gc_sc250, 2, -1
mount.3=wep_gc_sc250, 2, -1

The parachuters [PAYLOAD.7] were a little more difficult for my limited skills. Rather to drop them one by one, I liked to drop them in series.
So I replaced

[PAYLOAD.7]
; Payload = 14x Fallschirmjäger [Paratroops]
mount.5=ju52_f_turret, 1, 0
mount.6=ju52_a_turret, 1, 0
mount.7=wep_paratrooper_1, 14, 1
mount.12=guntube_side, 1, 0
mount.13=guntube_side, 1, 0
mount.14=ju52_spinner, 1, 0

by

[PAYLOAD.7]
; Payload = 15x Fallschirmjäger [Paratroops]
mount.5=ju52_f_turret, 1, 0
mount.6=ju52_a_turret, 1, 0
mount.7=wep_paratrooper_1, 3, 11
mount.8=wep_paratrooper_1, 3, 11
mount.9=wep_paratrooper_1, 3, 11
mount.10=wep_paratrooper_1, 3, 11
mount.11=wep_paratrooper_1, 1, -1
mount.12=guntube_side, 1, 0
mount.13=guntube_side, 1, 0
mount.14=ju52_spinner, 1, 0

I decided for this solutions due to the limited numbers of mounts.
Maybe the number of mounts could be increased, but for the while this works fine for my needs.
