Need Help Getting Modern Weapons to Work...

[Whitey]

Probably so simple to fix, I didn't notice it...LOL...the problem is that I've installed a F-18 to CFS2 and downloaded the .DP for it off The Wireframe.  All was going well (i openeded the sim, found the Hornet and could equip and see differnet payloads on it at the selection screen), although in-game, it had no weapons... ...any ideas?

Thanks...

Hi Whitey. Make sure the DP files for the included wep library are pasted into the CFS2\OBJECTS_DP folder.

They are...I actually see the weapons in the selecton screen, but not in game...if I select the weapons the writing at the top of the screens confirms they're there,but I can't see or launch them.

Hmmm. I will have to check this out. Providing the BGL files & textures are installed to the correct location (SCENEDB\weapons) 3rd party weapons will display visually. They won't actually function unless their DP files are installed correctly.

OK Whitey. I see your problem. Think the best way is to ask Bonzie about it on his Wireframe board. http://www.simviation.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=bonzie

PS. I forgot the obvious solution. Try patching the MDL file of the Hornet with the MDL Converter tool. http://www.microsoft.com/games/combatfs2/articles_SDK_mdlconverter.asp

That's great Whitey. I was a tad slow on that one.  ;D
