Wine Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Thanks SkateZilla !!! Wow, you created that .lua file very fast ! Is it possible that arg 309 should be 308, that's the one with arg 314 I edited for the example picture. Thanks again, great help ! Wine's Skinning Projects Link to post Share on other sites
SkateZilla Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 (edited) moght be 308 yeah, i typed too quick. you might have to add arg value for the rest of the tip loadouts to say arg value 0.0 Im in my office so I cant test, I also dont have a shape, other then SuperHornetWingtip Pods to test with. Might also have to decrease the drag coefficient, as its for a 480 gal size tank and not a 50 gal wing tip, the drag coeff from the Su-27 ECM tip pods would prolly work better. I'll post a revised code in a lil bit.

Einherjer Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 That is great! Will the tanks work or are they just cosmetic? Link to post Share on other sites
SkateZilla Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 I'd assume cosmetic only as the Pylons in the PFM and PSM are not modelled to transfer fuel.

Wine Posted July 28, 2016 Author Share Posted July 28, 2016 I hope you can upload a copy of your F-5E.lua file, did six trials, adding and replacing your text lines, but I still seem to mess it up. ( I'm not an .lua expert but know you can make mistakes quickly and make the file useless ) DCS won't start up when I install my edited file ...

TheSnark Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 The tanks look good but they are too far forward, if you'd move them about 20cm backwards they would be spot on. Well done so far! Link to post Share on other sites

Schmidtfire Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Great work! You could probably make them work (sort of) 1. add drag/weight to new wingtip tanks. 2. Modify or make new tank (with same fuel capacity) for the center or inner pylons. Make them invisible and loose the drag. You will sacrify some payload doing this. Link to post Share on other sites
