Editing Weapons in the database editor
-
Hi,
I’m trying to amend some of the weapon data in the database editor (ranges, susceptibility to ecm, that sort of thing), does anyone know if a manual for the editor exists?
Cheers in advance.

Don’t have a manual for you. But check sim folder/misdata , find missile and check thrust and burntimes to adjust range. Adjusting range in Falcon edit stats, I think only adjusts targeting behavior.
Check in Falcon edit what the missile will be called in misdat folder.
Many of super duper range missiles have been made by me this way.
Cheers!

Thanks much, this is exactly what I’m looking for!

Ask molnibalage, he’s made some extensive editing. Other that that what i have to offer is the falcon radar formula, important to know if you are gonna be changing detection ranges and ECM. Here goes:
(RADAR NOMINAL RANGE x TARGET RCS) x OWNRADAR JAMMER PENALTY
Example. The f16cm b52 has the radar type 1 in the editor. It has a nominal detection range of 35NM (increases slightly in ULS mode). An su27 has an RCS of 1.3 in BMS. This means you will see him at 45.5 nm’s. If he is jamming you then you apply your radar jamming penalty multiplier of 0.480. This means 45 x 0.480= 21.6 Nm’s. Now you know what to edit to get the performances you want There other things like notch penalty’s, look down penalty’s etc.

Thanks for the 8nfo guys… time to,go tinkering with stuff lol

When you adjust thrust and burn time do you mean the burn time and thrust breakouts?

I think so,
Can’t look now, but thrust I think is at top of file and somewhere below is something like a table called burn time.
I’ve adjusted exhaust and particlesys explosion near bottom.On burn time it says what type of speed or thrust the missile is doing at what second of its life.
From what I can tell , If it starts at 9000 and is doing 9000 till 5 seconds and 6th second is 2000 , its speed is going from 9000 to 2000 in 6 seconds. And if that is the last second coded , I believe deceleration continues at same rate until missile stops.
