No problem mate & Good Luck with your project !

And since you like the Vietnam Era, let me tease you a bit...

S-3B "Viking" with fully integrated CS Weapons :

With FSX Mission .xml code, all planes that weapon appearence at pylons is modelled to payload station weight change, can have the attached to plane weapons properly disappearing upon firing'em, as also proper weight changes of the plane of course...

Search in YouTube for the video with v=n5K0TUby74s to check this for Cattaneo's "Viking".
Next plane I'll "convert" is the F-14D by Cattaneo & I'll post the relative missions if there is an interest or request for this.

Hi Pete.

F-14D Air Weaponry : YouTube, v=HArBeyXYwvU

This can be achieved for any military FSX plane that the appearence/disappearence of weapons on board is modelled to the weight change of the relative payload stations. This is the case with Tacpacked planes (ironic ?...) as the freeware Cattaneo's planes are.
I achieve this in FSX Missions where mission .xml code :
- sets all payload station weight to 0 for a clean configuration
- sets specific payload station weight for attachment of specific planes weapons upon them
- detects when a CS Weapon is being fired (by proximity trigger to area attached to user, ie "entrance"-spawning of a CS Weapon in that area), setting relative payload station weight to 0, resulting at proper weight & visual effect upon weapon firing !!!...

So :
1. The attached to plane weapons, are the ones by the plane developer made (not the CS Weapons). But the essence - having proper weight & visual changes - doesnot change or affected really.
2. This is for FSX Military Missions and not for Free Flight. Though it may sound complicated, is very simple & straightforward (at least for me...).

A side note :
Though Free Flight is good for taking screenshots or making videos, only in FSX Missions you can have the interactive v-environment (through triggers & conditions) for FSX Military Operations.
Personally, I feel restricted by weapon addons working exclusively in Free Flight and not in Missions. Hopefully, FSX@War works in Missions as well.

BTW, I'm Xpel (some issue with new forum & cam't log in).

Hi dthiessen and thank's for the feedback.
Just tell me what you need - want and you'll have it. Simple as that... Send me a PM with what interests you and I'll see what I can do.
I use both weapon solutions for FSX, depending of Aviation Era
and availability of weapons.

From YouTube. Mission "understands" when user has more than 5
sustained Gs and triggers the sound file.

I have the b-17 xtra pack and it has the shift-2/2d panel just like the weapons pac. is there a workaround to have both working together. I tried fooling around with the  Window Titles
but it did not work
[Window Titles]
Window00=Main Panel
Window01=Clipboard
Window02=Mini Controls
Window03=Payload and Fuel Manager
Window04=Map
Window05=Radios
Window06=Maintenance Hangar
Window07=Weapon Control Panel
Window08=HUD
Window09=none0
Window10=dbg
Window11=none1
Window12=none2

also have the same issue with the steam f-16. its like one or the other, but not both.   thanks for any help and keep up the great work capt sim      robert
