Glad you pointed the finger at me.

You must realize I had the collimator expanding and collapsing issue during my development because of a mistake I made in trying to make the installation easier.

Are you sure you sure you have placed the csWeapons.xml file in the 'aircraft' folder as per my instructions and NOT in the 'panel' folder.

There air 3 individual 'aircraft' folders for the F16 A in which the csWeapons.xml must be placed. If the xml file is placed in the panel folder it will react as you described and that is why the 'alias' pointer worked for you which is wrong!!!
