R-27 on the MiG-29s and changing loadouts Thread - Vector Thrust

I noticed the MiG-29s are seen carrying 2 R-27s. How do I increase it to 4 and how can I change the Special Weapons for each plane?

In the aircraft's folder in the game files (Objects/Aircraft/Yourplane'snamehere) you should see an .ini file with the aircraft's name, if you open that, there's a parameter a little ways down for how many of each special weapon/ what kinds of special weapons it carries. However, to -change- anything about that, you're going to have to mess around with those parameters, and assign each new missile added a pylon, both things I wouldn't suggest trying unless you've got a good idea of what you're doing.

I'm sure someone else can be a bit more enlightening than that, but that's the basic gist of it.

Tried to explain how to fix the issue but for some strange reason it won't show up. Is it ok if I message you OrangeFr3ak?

Yea sure!

Actually, earlier models of MiG-29 can onky carry up to two R-27s. So such a loadout is set for the sake of authenticity.
Later modifiactions, which carry up to four R-27\R-77 are armed with proper amount of missiles.

Right. Still, it looks weird to see a Fulcrum with 4 missiles only since there would be two more R-60s or R-73s.

You can alter weapon ini file, so it would load 4 normal missiles.
Using something like this. (The coordinates for 3rd and 4th hardpoins are approximate, you'll need to edit appropriately).

MainWeap="R-60_MSSL"
MainWeapAmmo = 70
MainWeap_NumPoints = 4// <-THIS determines additional hardpoints
MainWeap_hasHPmesh = "true"
MainWeap_HPmesh = "MiG-29_9-12_HardpC.mesh"

MainWeapPos1_HP= "3.903 0.077 2.392"//First harpoint coordinates
MainWeapPos1= "3.903 -0.34 2.11"
MainWeapDir1= "0 -0.2 -1"
MainWeapRoll1= "0"

MainWeapPos2_HP= "-3.903 0.077 2.392"
MainWeapPos2= "3.903 -0.34 2.11"
MainWeapDir2= "0 -0.2 -1"
MainWeapRoll2= "0"

MainWeapPos3_HP="3.205 0.062 2.005"
MainWeapPos3= "3.205 -0.355 1.723"
MainWeapDir3= "0 -0.02 -1"
MainWeapRoll3= "0"

MainWeapPos4_HP="-3.205 0.062 2.005"
MainWeapPos4= "-3.205 -0.355 1.723"
MainWeapDir4= "0 -0.02 -1"
MainWeapRoll4= "0"

You might also need to rebalance the SP weapon loads, so they only use one hardpoint.
