I have received the download for Version 1.01 to fix the sound problem. I've read this thread and am I right in saying with the new version you cannot get unlimited ammo on any ;thing but the Weapon for FSX F/A-18? Sad I have really enjoyed being able to have this choice as it was a reason for purchasing it. Please tell me I'm wrong, again! I will not change anything unless ok'd by Captain Sim because this has caused me many a hour trying to get FSX back to where it was before Weapon for FSX. Onward and upward!! Wink

Questions - Are you using Vista/Windows 7? And is FSX installed in the default location of C:\Program Files (or C:\Program File (x86))?
The answer to the above two question means there are more things needed to be done to be able to make the following changes. Otherwise, do this:

Open the CSWeapon.xml in every aircraft you have added it to and change <Unlimited>0</Unlimited> to this <Unlimited>1</Unlimited>. You need to do this for each weapon included in the CSWeapon.xml. I did it by opening the CSWeapon.xml with Windows Notepad, CTRL+H, find <Unlimited>0</Unlimited> and replace with <Unlimited>1</Unlimited>.

You can also open the unit.dat file (found in the FSX\Captain_Sim\weapon\loader\cfg folder) with Windows Notpad and use the same method as mentioned above, SAVE and from now on, every time you add Weapon for FSX to an aircraft, it will already have unlimited ammo.

BACK UP THE ORIGINAL UNIT.DAT FILE BEFORE MODIFYING! Otherwise, you will need to reinstall/repair Weapon for FSX to get the original file back.

I am using   Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit. I'm sorry but I didn't quite understand does answering yes to your questions  mean to go ahead and make the modifications? I await your response. I like the sound of changing the main file to unlimited so all aircraft I put weapons on are already loaded with unlimited. That would be my preference if I have a choice. I would like to say with the v1.01 the sound is much much better and I appreciate the programing problems that this has caused. Thanks again!

Because you are using Win 7, if FSX is installed in C:\Program Files\etc.. (or C:\Program Files (x86)\etc..), it would be best to run the Weapon "Loader" AND FSX "as an administrator", or you can encounter problems.

The best way to do this is to Right Mouse Click on the application file > Select Properties > Select Compatibility Tab > Checkmark (Tick) "Run this program as an administrator" (under Privilege Level). See attached image.

All is well! I ran a repair on FSX Acceleration, installed the new CSWeapon and after following your directions on getting unlimited ammo by using the cfg folder, I am again the scourge of the skies! Wink Onward and upward! Thanks for that!

Hello Everyone,

Right. Sound problems. I've got that. Namely the continuous playing of the gun sounds after trigger release. I've read that there is a fix available for that. Where can I obtain one? Since I failed to find it in the support section.

Thanks,
Aerodil
