payloads - how to address them properly?

[jollyjack]

I still have problems setting up payloads in the ME. sometimes they show up OK in a mission, sometimes they don't.

 

Also selecting f.i. payload no 70 (full weapons) for a p47d28 in a text editor in the .mission file does not seem to work neither. Tips welcome!

Please follow this guide:

 

 

If you're still having trouble, please link your mission files here and we can take a look at what's up.

I looked in to that post, but the plane settings menu there:

 

 

looks completely different than the one in my ME, so i guess i must edit that elsewhere than here?

Guess because i set Single (player)?

The first dialog in your post above is for planes available in multiplayer spawn points and the second dialog is for singleplayer planes. I assume you are making a singleplayer mission and you want P-47 d28 payload 70 (as it is numbered in the game), right?

 

Do the following:

 

1. Open Han's post and under P-47D-28, locate Payload ID = 69 (not 70; payload IDs in the post are one below the ID listed in the game) and note the following information:

 

    - Beside "Unlocks Relation" (i.e., "Mods"), note that you must have mod 3 and 4 and you must not have mod 1 and 2 (positive numbers mean "must have", negative numbers mean "must not have"). Any numbers not listed are optional. Note the names for mod 3 and 4 from the list at the top of the P-47D-28 section.

 

    - Beside "Payload Name", note the name so that you can select that name in the editor later.

 

2. Open the advanced properties for the P-47 in the editor and click ">>" to open the Weapon Mods dialog.

 

3. From the drop-down lists, choose the names for weapon mod 3 and 4 (in this case, under list 2 and 3).

 

    In the Weapon Mods dialog, mods are listed under several numbered groups, each containing one or more mods.

 

4. Click on the Payload dropdown list and choose the payload name that you noted from Han's post.

Thanks Boyz ?  Guess i must refresh my mathematical skills. 

Any chances for an update coming for the newer planes?
