I finally got around to installing the YAS Mk VC (ZP-X) in to my PTO install, but the bombs from the spitfire pack won.t show up. I can make the selections, and the aircraft loads just fine. I don;t see the usual errors if something was missing. I have them installed like I would for any CFS2 weapon. Has anyone else encountered this?
SpitPack bombs won't show

Try editing the model with convertMDL.exe from here https://simviation.com/1/search?submit=1&keywords=convertMDL.exe&categoryId= . We should also liberate a copy this tool for are self as I don't see it in the lib and was made by Microsoft.
The sort of issue is often the .dp file. The dp calls out the bomb load and the number of bombs the aircraft carries.
The gunstation section should have a line like this:
Then the number of bombs needs to be listed after the individual guns are listed like this:
[GUNSTATIONS]
; 0 Chin Gun
gunstation.0=0,51,1,0.08,747,2,0.01,1000,1,100,1d1*8,0,-0.28,5.509,0,0,0,-45,30,45,-45,0.37
; 1 Upper Gun
gunstation.1=0,52,1,0.08,747,2,0.01,1000,1,40,1d1*12,0,1.7,-5.3,-45,0,180,-90,90,45,-45,0.37
; 2 bombs
gunstation.2 (the sequential station number)=3,21,8,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
Then the number of bombs needs to be called out next like this:
[guns.0]
gun.0=600,0,0,0,0,0,1,600
[guns.1]
gun.0=600,0,0,0,0,0,1,600
[guns.2] (the sequential station number)
gun.0=16,0,0,0,0,0,0,0 (the number in red is the number of bombs carried)
If the gunstation section is listed but the [guns] number is missing or not listed. the bombs disappear when dropped.
I loaded up the YAS Mk VC (ZP-X) and accompanying weapons files to see if the problem duplicated. It didn't. The bombs show up and drop except for the combination 250 lb and 500lb load. The dp is messed up in how it is written and does not work as intended. BUT - the bombs do show up.
I couldn't duplicate what you are describing so, I would suggest re-downloading the file (which includes the weapons pack) and reloading them and see if the problem persists. It might be something was corrupted or missing. ??

Allen, I posted the file in resources, under your name. 
Hi Capt. I tried the Spitpak from other spitfires that I have, and all had the same result, no matter which install I tried. The bombs and triplex rocket (Cryingtoto's Seafire) will not show visually, but are usable. I can drop them and fire them and they leave craters and rocket trails as applicable.
I even downloaded the pack from Martin Wright's site, and still no dice.

ZPX should have a weapons file included in the zip. Try those, and see if they work. They are what was intended to be used.
