Title: A-20 late with rocket armament [Update 4.101] [4.09] [4.10] [4.11] [4.12]
Post by: Docholiday on November 14, 2010, 11:55:12 AM
Hallo 

My first (little) MOD

(https://www.sas1946.rocks/images/imageshit/img152/8591/rocketa20.jpg)

Like I already sayd: The rockets are historical correct! a few  of the last A-20 were equiped with HVAR on zer-zero-launcher.  The Gunpods are for the friends of KTO-action with A-26   .... and for fun  ;) 

I hope You enjoy it !

Doc

4.09
Version 1.1  (Gunner now shoots,  no more conflikts with other A-20 finger crossed)

http://www.filefront.com/17519134/A-20Hrockets.zip/ (http://www.filefront.com/17519134/A-20Hrockets.zip/)

Version 1.2. optional patch
Version without ext. bombracks and adapted outload.  Throw it in Your games folder and let it overwrite the old files.

If the turret gunner shoots, two of the gunpod-MGs fire.

I will change it soon  :-[

That's an odd bug, I had a quick look at the file and the numbering of what button deploys what gun/rocket/bomb loooks correct so I'm not sure how you've got that bug lol

Hi. Just tried it and it shows up with no crash but rockets,gunpods and bombs dont show in the loadout screen visually. the loadout is there in letters but they dont visuallyshow. Am I missing something. i checked the readme and nothing there about this. My install is SAS with mod activator(latest) and heavily modded.

I already had a look:

I defined the last 3 original MG  and the first 3 new MG in the classfile with the same number.
I already wrote the new classfile but I have to change the MG-Hooks in the WingR_D0.msh and WingL-Do.msh
thats all (I think).

hmm..

I only tested the plane in UP.2.01 (clean and heavy modded)! 
Perhaps it will be better if I solved my bug ?

Does anybody have the same problem  ..?

Same here

modact 2.2

get an error message missing gunhook when trying to load with gunpods

and rocket loadout does not show up in loadout screen or game but is listed.

cheers

Post by: dsawan on November 15, 2010, 01:45:48 AM
Hi, again, Bombs show. So its just the rockets and gunpods. You have listed HVAR ROCKETS but I thought these were defalt in game? or do we need some 3rd pty wep pack?
Title: Re: A-20 late with rocket armament
Post by: SAS~Malone on November 15, 2010, 01:55:56 AM
dsawan, no, HVAR's are not game default loadouts for the A-20's.... ;)

Malone I think he means the HVAR's are weapons that came with default IL2. ;)
Title: Re: A-20 late with rocket armament
Post by: F22-Raptor-2006 on November 15, 2010, 02:44:11 AM
Bombs, Guns, Rockets, Pylons always show up on the loadout screen as long as the loadout has them. Often 3D mesh pylons that aren't actually defined as pylons in the game will only appear upon spawn. Or they may disappear upon spawn. This is true of the mosquito and p47 for example.

If you update the A-20 mod with the correct hooks and then see if the problem occurs again. Till then due to hook conflicts it may do some weird things.

DL th e plane on sunday it showed up but when I opened it up in qmp it shows plus the weapon loadout but when I go to fly shows a hook problem not found.
Title: Re: A-20 late with rocket armament
Post by: Benelli on November 15, 2010, 05:49:59 AM
Hi Doc, first of all congratulations for your mod, it has great potential.
But yes, it's still really buggy. I tested it, and these are my results:

- on clean UP 2.01 installation, loadouts works well, but guns in turrets don't shot;
- on my modded UP 2.01 I have the "hooks" problem (as other people said); this bug is related to the position of the mod in the loading process (after or before other A-20 mods).
In this case, this mod is in conflict with other A-20 mods present on this site (A-20G, A-20H, A-20G RKKA/RKKF and A-20Gussr), as they share common files and names.

Hope this can help.

The error message I get is no hook_mgundump09 I got torpedoes, a few guns and bombs. But no rockets other words the plane is great
Title: Re: A-20 late with rocket armament
Post by: F22-Raptor-2006 on November 15, 2010, 10:21:08 AM
Okay, I see the conflict issues. Docholiday it'd be advisable to change the 3do folder in the class file to A-20H_late(Multi1) rather than using the current one. This way it eliminates conflicts with overwriting and changing the A-20G(Multi1) meshes which are used by a lot of current aircraft. Also there is A-20G(Multi1) A-20G(USA) A-20G(AU) so assuming you haven't changed the 3do links in the class file then you would need to replace the meshes in all 3 folders rather than just multi1. This will explain why people may have problems when using the US version or whatever AU stands for. If you want more information then pm me and I'll go into it in more detail. (btw you can remove the lines that make it use 3 folders, one 3do folder will do such as the one I've named).

No, I'm sure its that they just want to give you time to solve the bugs. Modders have asked in the past that guys not ask everyday for updates. I'm sure thats all it is. How is going Doc?

I spoke of the version 1.1
I solved the issue with the turret gunner and, with the help of Raptor, I solved (I hope it) the problem with incompatibility with the other modded A-20.

The sense of my question was:  "are there further problems with my plane?"
I am only unsure if it is a good sign that there are no more posts after the release of my update. ;)

Thx    ;D

Hi Doc,
D/loaded earlier today and installed it. Works fine for me also (I run a SAS mod-activated game); one small bug(?), I noticed: When I am shot down and loose the right wing, part of the engine (the outer ring) remains "floating" next to the plane. Apart from that, beautiful plane! Congratulations on a fine job and many thanks,  8)

Thank you very much Doc. This is great and will due till the A/B-26 ever comes out of hiding. That much fire power facing forward will do wonders to anything on the ground. I love it just the way it is so please don’t take this wrong. Is the any way the turret could be commanded by the pilot to also face forward to fire and add to the ground happiness?  If no, no worries. This is a great mod for your first one. Way to go Doc. Thanks

Hallo

It is geometrical nearly not posibel to point the A-20 turret at the front for ground pounding.

But I am on the work for building a fake late A-26 with 14 MG`s (8 in the nose + 6 in the wings) + rockets + wingtanks, underbelly gunner remouved, wings without permanent bombracks and so on...


by the way: Did You test my patch who remouves the wing pylons ??
