Weapons choice in P3D

Featured Replies

Hey simmers,

I flew for last maybe 12 years FSX, then P3D. My question might be actly attached pretty much to the FSX too, but - please believe me - after 6 days of digging everywhere I couldn't find an answer. Doesn't matter if it was FSX or P3D forum. I know - DCS is the proper military sim and I fly F-18 in DCS. Anyway.

I can see a massive payload available to my plane model in ModelconverterX. I will use one example. I would love to use MER (multiple rack ejector) with tripple Mk.82 or Mk.83
These are pretty much visible/available when the model is imported to the Modelconverter. I just really can't add it to payload.
Can somebody please give me a hand? Any tutorial would be greatly appreciated, just point your finger.

I tried PayloadManagerX for P3D5, but for some reason it doesn't read weapon models at all. Any. Might be .net issue.

Go to Fuel and payloads and add the number to station pylon. However you have to know what the exact number is to make it showup.

 

On Milviz F-4E on P3D v4 when it was compatible i used 262 to show the regular pylons and 359 to show MERS.  510 with MER/MK-82 bomb visibility. 

 

So go through numbers 200 300 then 500 to see if anything becomes visible.

Aircraft.cfg    Also remember use the default f16 as a template and see how the pylons are managed. Finally to add mk82 etc to mers you have to create statons on each mer hardpoint. F-4e is 510 per station and there are 6 of them so you have not only the S3 mer but station S31 S32 to S36 in the above file. Not sure if i can help any further as i dont know what model your converting too. if its a fs9 fsx model fine if not ive no clue on how to further progress.

S3 is just an example it may be station 1 or 2 on your aircraft.

Hope this helps some.

Lol, such a defensive first paragraph. Avsim isn’t THAT bad, I hope.

Welcome, Mig, and I’m glad someone could provide you with some decent information. 🙂
