Add / remove weapons in BfB theater or any other theater ??
-
Hi everybody and thanks a lot for all the good work you’re doing for BMS!!
I’d just like to know how can I add or remove a weapon in a theater ?! For exemple, how can I add the AGM-88 HARM in the Balkans theater or in the Battle for Balkans one ??!
If anyone could explain me how to do that, that would be very nice !
Thanks a lot in advance, and excuse me for my bad english !!

YOu have to use the Editor or F4Browse to do it. Open F4Browse, go to vehicles, Aircraft, select the Aircraft you want, find the weapons, and select the hardpoint you want to edit…(if you edit one it edits the symmetrical side too) and add or remove the weapon. Make sure you update it.
-
And for online what files should be necessary to share with the rest of players to have the same weapons?
-
u must share your theater folder.
-
Thanks a lot for all !!! I’ll give it a try !!
Just a question : Does the editor works on currently enabled Theater or is there a way to chose which database to edit ??!

Ok, I managed to add the AGM-88 to the hardpoints I wanted, I’ve added the to the squadrons stocks (I gave every squad about 20-30 Harms), But when I want to select it in campaign mode, it says there is no AGM-88 HARM available, so I still can’t use it
I can see them, but can’t use … what did I miss ?! Any Idea ?!I guess I’ll have a lot of work if I want to make my own campaign Is there a good documentation for database editing ?! Thanks in advance !

Were you using a saved campaign?
IIRC you need to start a new campaign for the changes to take affect. -
Yup, I tried with a new campaign, but I’m not sure I did the things right !! That’s why I was wondering if someone could tell me how to do withF4 Browse or the editor !!

You have to go to the Squadron Stores section of F4Browse and depending on which version of the F-16 you are using find it in the squadron stores section. The standard American F-16s block 40 and up use squadron stores number 63 I believe. Find the weapon type in there and double click on it and change the number. max is 200. Then update it.

Cheers mate, IIRC that’swhat I did, I must have missed something
I’ll give it another try !

Next you will need to update the stores of squads in your .cam files or use a early save file ,use Mission Commander.

Thanks Shadow, but as I just finished and won my first Korea campaign, I was just about to start a new campaign, so no need to edit cam files
BTW, I managed to add the agm-88 in my squad stores thanks to your help !!
But now, next step is to add the HTS … on what hardpoint is it ?! how can I add it back to my squad stores please ?!!!Kalonji

HTS is not part of stores. Its part of the Airframe. Almost all F-16 in Korea can be equipped with HTS but don’t necessarily carry AGM-88.
I would suggest not Modifying any F-16 load out or airframe as it will put you at odds with others if you fly online.
-
It is the other way around. All F-16s can be equipped to carry AGM-88s but don’t necessarily carry the HTS pod. Only F-16s to carry the HTS pod are the Block 40, 42, 50, and 52 F-16s. Block 32 and lower F-16s can be made to carry the AGM-88 but use different sensors to acquire and fire on the targets.
-
Blk-15 is the only one not set to carry HTS. Look at the FMs for your self. Or create a TE if that’s easier.

That’s an error on the FM files…. Cougar know what he’s talking about.

Different sensors? Plural?

Courag is not talking about “in game” but abour the “RL”.

Correct….the HARM can use the HARM itself as a sensor. The HTS pod is set up to be installed on the CCIP updated F-16s…primarily the F-16C 40, 42, 50 and 52

We are talking about ingame here not “RL” so why come and confuse/sidetrack the thread.
They only had to read the thread title.
