Normandy 1944 - modcareer - Bf109G6R6 - historical error

[MarcoPegase44]

Hi @LukeFF

 

I have wanted to communicate on this subject for a long time. playing the Normandy campaign modcareer.
I occasionally encounter Bf109G6 R6s with two mg151/20 in gondola under the wings. this heavy weapons was reserved for the interception of heavy bombers over Germany.

This equipment had all been dismantled in the spring of 1944 before the transfer to the Normandy front to gain maneuverability against Allied fighters, this is attested in my documentation and no photos from the summer of 1944 show this armament variant R6. I think there is therefore a historical error

Yes, these are AI flights that are generated by templates I cannot edit easily. I'll let the career developers know about this, though, and hopefully, it can be changed after the start of the new year.

The solution may be in the decompressed SGG folder and in the "actions.cfg" and "22planes-to-missions.cfg" files which have "Payload" lines which determine the load and variants of the planes according to the missions.

Yes, "actions.cfg" is for AI flights, but the planes-to-missions files are for the player's squadron.

so I would have to give it a try by tinkering with the “Actions” file?

LOL yes. ? 

However, the guy who updates this stuff has already said he will fix it for the next update (not 5.201 but after that - it's too late to fix it for the upcoming release).

LOL Ouais. ?

Cependant, le gars qui met à jour ce genre de choses a déjà dit qu’il le corrigerait pour la prochaine mise à jour (pas 5.201 mais après cela - il est trop tard pour le corriger pour la prochaine version).

Hello,
This appears to have been changed in the last update.?
