Tornado issue

Post by Tozzifan » 2002-08-01 13:44:00

could I change default tornado loadouts?

I've noticed that ALL tornados IDS go into their strike missions without bombs!

I tried giving a glimpse into f4browse, with no results, mean while into tacedit I would not change by hand the loadout for every time a strike flight appears on planner, thanks

Tornados, from what I heard, were not ready at the time SP3 was released so they were not activated, even being in the files.
However, by tricking with TacEdit or using Saint's Korea 2005 theatre, you have Tornado active. Korea 2005 has been known for having weapons loadouts problems. Good Saint made what he could to provide a wonderful scenario, couldn't do anything to change Tornado settings.
Lately has appeared a patch that enables Tornado IDS and loads them properly. It was discussed here (and probably somewhere else as well): http://forums.frugalsworld.com/vbb/show ... ht=Tornado
With this patch you can have Tornado properly loaded, however it works only for newly created TEs, no CMPs.
Hope it helps.
Ciao

Respect for your work on the loadouts, but i must disagree with the oadouts, these loadouts are NOT correct. There are many weapons that i miss, also, the configuration s not correct, these lists that you have, are made 1978, these are only wishes. They aren't realized in this way.
If you wnat have the actual loadouts for the germans, italien and saudi tornados just send me a email.

Correct or not, there must be *somebody* to fix it.
Bear in mind, Snake Man has done LOTS theater stuff for us, he's NOT necessarily the one to fix everything.

we are waiting the guy(s) who can share his workload.

Hi Dulex and welcome aboard.

Can you list some corrections you would like to see in Tornado, maybe we can make them happen?

Hi,

am okay using F4browse to change loadouts, but the changes only show in the korean campaign. How would i modify a plane's loadout for ODS, it seems when i switch theatres, the available loadouts switch too. Where is the distinguishing button or detail to double click in F4browse?

Many thanks
