Changing aircraft equipment?
-
Hey guys,
In the israeli theatre, the equipment used by the Egyptian F-16s are not correct and are out-of-date. Is there a possibility I can change the munitions I can load on to them? For example HARMs, more GBU options, larger fuel tanks, etc…
Thanks in advance.

If you go into the Editor, you can go to the hardpoint editor and change what an aircraft can equip per hardpoint. There are some unintended side effects. For example, when I tried to fix my Harriers to have realistic loadouts, the bombs would load in backwards on one wing. It still worked, but it looks wrong to have all the bombs ‘stepped’ in the same direction regardless of wing.

By editor, do you mean TACEdit, Mission Commander?
-
Falcon Editor.
But be advised you will loose MP compatibility.

Is there a possibility I can had kind of an original package, and an edited one?

@Arty: I changed around my harriers and had no problems connecting with others…

Dakamawy,
I did that in the past via Mission Commander, albeit not in that theater. I suggest you experiment there, in the squadron tab. I also suggest you save backup your campaign file, first. -

Which files actually are changed (after modifying the possible munitions for a hardpoint)? I need to do it on two computers to use both in multiplayer. It might be easier to copy paste the file/s after changing on one of it. Thanks in advance.

The sensitive files are rather small, they are the XML in data\terrdata\objects. Each theater has its own set.

Doesn’t mean that you did not broke your install.
You could now have inconsistent mission generation in campaign or porked weapon loading since your DB is no longer synced with some other critical files.
But if you guys like voodoo . … Please just refrain yourself from posting bug report in case of any kind of issue with the game. Thank you in advance.
