DP file editing question

Hello there,


I am looking for a way to edit the dp file of one aircraft, so that it drops 2 bombs instead of one with each press of the button to drop the weapon.

Does anyone know which number in the dp sections regulate that?

Also, since I have both Fairey Barracudas available, I want to find a way to reload the torpedo many times. As things are now, once you drop the torpedo once, that is the end--it does not reload another torpedo, as it does with certain bomb selections.

Any help would be appreciated.

It has become clear to me that there is not a good dp editing tutorial out there, and that little that exists falls short of being full and well-written.

Nick

No offence, Nick, but if someone could make a plane, at that time, to reload a torpedo, he would be :D

Have you got db_us_weapons.zip and did you read the .txt files?

There IS a small program called DPED (DPEdit) that might help you. It may be available here. There are also some good tutorials around on the DP file. Again, I'm not sure where to find them. I would check out the Utilities sections of various file download sites. Simviation has a pretty good file library.
