Another April fools day has arrived!

This year's offering is...

A DB605-powered Me 163, and a jet-powered Me 321 (known as the Me 421).

Download here: https://www.mediafire.com/file/ajiahm07vw7eaam/ayprul+foolz+2024+stuf.zip/file

The Me 421 requires the weapon classes from last year's Fi 156 S.M.U.D.E. to work: https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,70562.0.html
The Me 163/DB 605 requires the weapon classes from the Me 362 to work: https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,71644.0.html

Unfortunately, when trying to use the Me 421 outside of BAT or UltraPack, I get the dreaded empty loadout selection box. One of these days, I'll figure out what the problem is and fix it, but until then, the Me 421 should be considered as only compatible with BAT and UltraPack.

Both planes tested and working in
- UltraPack 3.4.2.23
- BAT 4.2.2.4

Me 163/DB605 also tested and working in
- 4.12.2m + ModAct 5

Thank you for this absolutely, 100% historically correct mod pack.

[Piotrek1]

Thank you FL2070 this is a very interesting addition , unfortunately I have a problem with this package, while Me-163 (not yet tested) works in my Vp modpack, Me-421 does not appear at all in the QMB selection window. So I tried to give it as high as possible in the folder hierarchy but that didn't help.

in my Vp modpack, Me-421 does not appear at all in the QMB selection window.

Yep.

Unfortunately, as stated earlier:

[T]he Me 421 should be considered as only compatible with BAT and UltraPack.

I was in such a hurry to try this mod that I probably didn't read everything ,
It's a pity, I really wanted to try out the gadgets included in this mod .

I Tested at BAT, It works

Thanks FL

May I ask where the weapons classes are for the Fi-156?

[cvous]

Also, i am running BAT all the way, but I can't get the BK-37 to show up for the Me-163.  Any ideas on that?

[KingTiger503]

Log file please or We won't help you

When the list of loadouts suddenly stops, it's usually because your game doesn't have the weapon/bombs/... of the next loadout.
So your game doesn't have the BK-37 used by this mod.
