Carpet Bombing value

Postby n.rev » Tue Nov 02, 2004 8:53 pm

Im try to addapt Chris Rosenmann's Boeing B-29 so i can use it for carpet bombing raids in CFS3.
But i have a small glitch in the B-29.XML Data Pack (see below) the "... Quantity="3" ..." value make less than no sense, i must be missing some thing !!!
As this value does not look like the "number of bombs", weight in "lbs" or "Kgs" does anyone Know where this value is from ???

That's binary turned into a decimal style number.
3 means actually 2.
Check it out on your calculator.
Switch it to scientific, then binary, type in 11 (two in binary) switch back to decimal and you get 3.
Compare that to other loadouts on other planes, some have a 15 what means there are 4 bombs :)
