The Weapon is a simple one click installation for default aircraft (listed in the Manual). But installation to a random third-party aircraft obviously requires some extra efforts from a user.

We've provided very flexible Weapon system and the easiest way to make a mod: one xml file configuration. But the mod-person must have advanced knowledge of basic FSX SDK, outstanding attentiveness and patience. It's not for everyone.

Unfortunately we are unable to support any modifications of the Weapon including its installation to third-party aircraft VC because:
- There are hundreds of the third-party aircraft.
- User doing the mod can make any mistake in thousands of different places in various config files.

But we are willing to help and will answer the most typical questions as far as possible.

We see there are a lot of similar questions/issues with installation of the Weapon the various third-party aircraft. Please post all to this topic, that will help others to avoid same mistakes.

Tips on how to avoid popular mistakes: (It updates often so please re-read)


0. 99% of issues are from not following SDK. PLEASE read it BEFORE asking.

1. Do NOT try to install 2D HUD to VC. There's a special VC HUD for VC.

2. For how to install VC HUD please follow VC HUD INSTALLATION section of the SDK.

3. VC HUD gau should be installed on the aircraft's HUD. Of course there's got to be a physical 3D HUD glass with $ poly in the model. Contact the model's developer if you unsure.

4. FSX and Weapon loader must be OFF while you make any changes in the CSWeapon.xml.

With all due respect we will not answer same questions anymore.

If you ask something please:
a. Indicate what HUD you are talking about, 2D or VC.
b. Attach a screenshot of the issue you are reffering to.
c. Describe the issue. Be specific.
