heclak Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 (edited) NOTE: Version 1.04 of this patch has been integrated into the official module so there is no current need for the patch. I'll be updating the files based on the latest version of the official release. This patch is focused to help tide things over while the A-4E-C team take their time with their official patches. There will be various fixes and additions focusing on the weapons system. I will be updating the changelog as I post new versions of the patch. Here's the patch for anyone who is interested in trying the additional LAU-3, LAU-10, and LAU-68 launchers to max out the number of rockets the A-4E-C can carry. This patch also fixes the muzzle position of the HIPEG gun pods which were firing from the pylons instead of the muzzle of the gun pods. Thanks to Merker for permission to post this patch and thanks to the A-4E-C team for making such a great mod. Feel free to use this code in the next patch if it meets your standard and if you wish to. I hope I can return the favour. Fast patch! So it appears I was blind and saw the triple launcher in the photo as a dual launcher. Now everyone gets triple launchers for the centerline! (As if we didn't have enough rockets) Do let me know if there is anything that I can add/fix in this community mod. Would like to give back as much as possible. ------------------- CHANGELOG -------------------- v1.04 Added check for change in master arm sw. Fixed bug where sidewinders will not armed when toggling master arm switch. NATOPS procedure can now be followed. v1.03 Fixed bug where AGM-45A Shrike could not be mounted on inboard stations (2 and 4) v1.02 Added single/dual/triple LAU-68 FFAR launchers Reworked display names of rocket launchers to match DCS naming conventions and for better sorting Dev Note: The entry labelled "LAU-68*3 -7 2.75' rockets MK5 (HE)" was already in the vanilla mod so I did not remove it. This uses the more modern Hydra 70 rockets. I've only added the FFAR which were historically accurate for the pre-1980s. v1.01 Added triple LAU-3 FFAR TER launchers for station 3 Added triple LAU-10 Zuni TER launchers for station 3 v1.0 Fixed muzzle position of the HIPEG gun pods Added dual LAU-3 FFAR TER launchers for stations 2, 3, and 4 Added dual LAU-10 Zuni TER launchers for stations 2, 3, and 4 Edited March 26, 2019 by heclak Twitch | Viggen ELINT App | Community A-4E-C Module | Community A4-E Guide | Throttle detents for Hornet/Viggen/F-15C and other 3D printed parts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heclak Posted November 27, 2018 Author Share Posted November 27, 2018 Fab work mate. Looking forward to getting more rockets. Tallyho!!!!! Thanks for the compliment. Are there more rockets missing? I thought I covered them all. Do let me know if there’s something that is missing or needs fixing. I’m currently working on fixing some issues with the sidewinders. And hopefully the AWRS.

ST0RM Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 I've modded the LUAs to allow the AIM-9P, 9P5, 9M on all 4 wing stations, ala the A-4F. I sent the initial files to Merker prior to Thanksgiving and have since updated them again in the version 1.01.1 w/Hotfix that included your rocket edits. Hopefully a combined effort is released.

I sent the initial files to Merker prior to Thanksgiving and have since updated them again in the version 1.01.1 w/Hotfix that included your rocket edits. Hopefully a combined effort is released. Is the community A-4E becoming an A-4F? Based on my research the A-4E only carries 2 sidewinders. I’ve only added weapons that were historically carried by the A-4E. I think that is the best way forward. Or else someone will start submitting GBUs and Mavericks on the A-4E as well. I’ll be strictly sticking to A-4E loadouts unless it officially changes. I don’t mean any disrespect and I appreciate your initiative to send Merker files which included my edit. I’m actually flattered someone wants to use my code. But from a code development POV, it’s actually better to only send in code that belong to you. It helps the recipient to know what edits were made by you. As the other person’s code might have already been added before you sent it in. Stacking code edits makes it very difficult to diff and merge the code. I personally do not send any code to Merker but rather just post here and give them permission to use my code if they wish to. It is best for them to combine what code they wish to use. I’m also making a number of updates so it makes no sense to send my code in. It could be outdated by tomorrow.

ST0RM Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Sorry, I simply used the LUA files supplied in the 1.01.1 version I mentioned. Maybe it didnt have your edits after all. So many edits running around. My apologies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heclak Posted December 2, 2018 Author Share Posted December 2, 2018 I've posted a new version of the patch that fixes the behaviour of the master arm switch. The AIM-9 fix is an additional check for a state change of the master arm switch to trigger the check_sidewinder() function. This is to allow following the sidewinder procedure in A-4 tactical pocket guide. The procedure is as follows: FUNC SEL SW ................................ BOMBS & GM ARM STA SEL SW .................................. READY MASTER ARM SW ........................... ON TRIGGER/BOMB BTN ...................... DEPRESS Original code only checks for the state change of func sel and sta sel for triggering check_sidewinder. So the MASTER ARM SW cannot be the last in the sequence. I just uploaded the latest version of my patch which includes this fix.

'Gimp | DISCO - CO vVMA-131 Diamondbacks, CSG-1 That's something that really impressed me as I was researching more on the A-4E. The upgraded ones like the A-4SU could even carry GBUs and Mavs. If only it had AIM-120s. Then it would be the F/A-4. Haha.

Harley Davidson Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 @Storm Any chance I can get the AIM 9 mod? I'd like to have the ability to use it for top gun style missions when the F-14 rolls out. Short range and guns idea but missiles of equal potency.
