Weapon Restrictions P-47

[352ndRoodster]

G`day Guys, 

                     I am building a new mission and as such I want to restrict the weapon loadout on the P-47.

 

I am trying to work out what the numbers mean in "Weapon Mods" & "Payload ID" in the ME and how to restrict the bombs to only 500lb yet still allowing other options as well ie Additional Ammo and Rockets. I have tried researching through the Mission Editor guide from Jim as well as searching this forum with other mission authors encountering the same problem but with no success. 

 

I have also come across "Smoke Gen White one -1", "Smoke Gen Blue one -1" in the "Payload ID" section but have no idea what these mean..???

?

 

Any assistance is greatly appreciated. I have attached the mission files for your perusal..

 

Cheers

You'll need to lock both payload and modifications in the server settings.

 

Modifications are for what the player can select between (extra ammo, the mirror, removed headrests, etc, etc)

Payloads are for what "payloads" are available to the player once they select a certain modifications.

 

So if I want the p47 to only have 3x500 bombs, I will need to have...

 

mods: 3

payload: 0/18

 

 

This allows the player to only choose the ground attack modification (mods: 3), and if they select that modification, the only payload they can choose is the 3x500 bombs (payload: 18). If they chose to not take the ground attack modification (mods: 3 not selected), then the player's payload would just be the 8 .50cals (payload: 0).

G`day Sketch, 

                        That was bloody fantastic mate!! No neeed to apologize for the length of the video as it answered just about all my questions. In my opinion, this video should be added to the IL2 Resources Library for everyone else to use. Very informative and very simply explained for a noob (like me) to understand. Great job mate!! ???

 

However one question you didn't touch on was this one:

I'll add a link to Sketch's post re. locking payloads and mods the next time I update the IL-2 Resources post.

 

The smoke gen payloads are smoke generators for aerobatic demo flights. You can choose one or two smoke generators.
