Black_Hawk Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Does anyone know how to make MER munitions? Like MERs of dumb bombs, or MER of 2 AIM-9 for A-10? What I want to make is a MER of 2 launchers of unguided rockets for Russian a/c. (S-8, UB-13, S-25) 159th GAR LockOnFiles CAW Team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Force_Feedback Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 MERs have their own clsid appointed to them. In theory you could do a swap, so you'll have an empty MER model, and then add the needed number of pylons (3-6 or so), with the bomb/missile/rocket loads you can carry on the MER. So basically you'll have an empty MER and 6 new pylons. The only snag is that you'll have to set the coordinates of the pylons, using the 3 axes and it blows without a gui, cause you can't directly see where your MER bombs will end up. Offcourse there would be no nice bomb clamps like on the su-25t. And if you add su-25T weaponry, you also may get extra pylons sticking out of the MER. It can be done, but not directly. If you're using a weapon that is in some .lua file (where most 'reworked' weapons are in, forgot the name, but you could have 1 pylon with 99 missiles :P), and add as many bombs as you like, but they will be in a state of dimensional flux :lol: Creedence Clearwater Revival:worthy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black_Hawk Posted October 2, 2006 Author Share Posted October 2, 2006 So, basically, you're saying that it can be done? Could you remember the filename? 159th GAR LockOnFiles CAW Team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Force_Feedback Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Errm, no, but some .lua, lemme search. lockon/bazar/racks.lua I've never tried decreasing the number, only made some uber heavy R-73 pylon for off-bore testing (unl weapons lag too much) Creedence Clearwater Revival:worthy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest IguanaKing Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Does anyone know how to make MER munitions? Like MERs of dumb bombs, or MER of 2 AIM-9 for A-10? MER of 2 AIM-9s for the A-10? The AIM-9s for the A-10 are already on an LAU-114/A, which is a dual rail launcher. There are all kinds of munitions available for the A-10 in the game that just aren't implemented, but they can easily be added. Do a google search for a utility called LOPE. It will allow you to hang other weapons configurations on any aircraft in the game. Keep in mind though, that if you're going for a realistic payload, A-10s were never certified to carry MERs (which are generally 6 weapons each), they CAN carry TER's though, and mount a maximum of 3 on each. The TERs are incorrectly identified as MERs in the game though, so just look for quantities of 3 or less for weapons. LOPE is an easy method of modifying your MEinit.xml file. I have a realistic weapons loadout for the A-10 already, if you'd like to give that a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solidburn Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 So...what's a MER? "I know Not that which you have said, but if I had medication I would (Robin Williams)" [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black_Hawk Posted October 2, 2006 Author Share Posted October 2, 2006 Look, I only want to add dual unguided rocket lanuchers for Russian aircraft. So, dual S-8(CM) launcher and a dual S-25 launcher. And maybe a dual UB-13 launcher. So, how hard can it be? 159th GAR LockOnFiles CAW Team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Force_Feedback Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Hard because both aim-9 rails all come with missiles on them, and not empty. Creedence Clearwater Revival:worthy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black_Hawk Posted October 2, 2006 Author Share Posted October 2, 2006 I am really eager to do this and I'll keep trying :) 159th GAR LockOnFiles CAW Team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest IguanaKing Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 So...what's a MER? Multiple Ejector Rack. (Usually 6 weapons or more) TER= Triple Ejector Rack Blackhawk, You can change weapon loadouts on the Su-25T as well I believe (could be wrong though). Give LOPE a try and see what it lets you do. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hitman Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Heres a question for you IK. I used to have this model of an A-10 (I forget tail number this was lo' so many years ago) that had a MER on the centerline. Yes it was a Revell model, and no it wasnt the woodland BDU pattern camo. It was a peanut butter schemed a/c. This wasnt technically correct was it? It was the one only model of the A-10 I could find that had this.

Guest IguanaKing Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Yup, you'd be right on that, Hitman. An MER on an operational A-10 is technically incorrect. I think there were a few RDT&E Hog's that carried one or two, but no deployed airframes. Revell wasn't the only one that messed this up. My current 1/32nd A-10 from Trumpeter also has MER's in the kit. That's OK though, because they also have the correct TER-9s, LAU-88s, and LAU-114s...not to mention that the detail on everything but the pit is absolutely spectacular. This one's going to take a long time to build, I'm finally almost finished with the seat...LOL. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
