F-15E has no weapons visuals

Post by lancer27 » Sun Jun 25, 2017 6:12 pm

Hi, I was rummaging through some boxes in my room and discovered that I have the boxed version of the Milviz/Just Flight F-15E. So I installed it, started FSX, selected the F-15E, got into the sim and selected the F-15E's payload manager. After selecting some weapons and a fuel tank, I switched to an external view and noticed that there are no weapons and tank visuals. I tried looking for a patch for the problem here in the forums but I was not able to find one. Does anyone know where the patch is? Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. p.s. I bought the Eagle from PC Aviator on July 6, 2013. order number 100997. Tracking number 9400110200793740341924

Hi, I downloaded the new dll file, went to Modules-Milviz and took out the old dll file there. Copied the new dll file into the Milviz file. Started FSX. Selected the F-15E. In sim I selected the payload manager and selected some missiles and a centerline tank and...still no weapons or tank visuals :?

I downloaded the files you asked and applied them. Fired up FSX. Selected the F-15. Got into the sim, opened the payload manager and.....Success! I have weapons and fuel tank visuals!! Thanks very much for the files and all your help. Not to be picky but...I noticed that the aircraft now has no afterburner cans, although I do like the afterburner visual effects. Any way to maybe be able to restore the afterburner can visuals?

That's not normal. Somehow your model seems corrupted. Which livery are you flying? Please zip your aircraft cfg and post it here.

Hi, "Update" I went back into the sim to try and get a better picture of what I was talking about and.....All seems to be magically fixed!! I am not sure what happened. The only thing I could think off that "may" of had something to do with the nozzles being "broke" is that when I was going through the engine start-up procedures of the check list, when lifting the finger lever on the throttle, the throttle shot straight to afterburner for a few seconds, then I moved it to idle. Started the second engine, the same thing happened, throttle "jumped" out of my "hand" and went to burner instead of idle. I had to move it back down to idle position. When I went back into sim to get a better picture of the nozzles, I noticed that when I selected the F-15 that the nozzles were present (on the aircraft) when the aircraft is in that window with the sky and ground and the aircraft turning. I then pushed the fly now button to get into the sim to get a better picture of the "broken nozzles". Switched to an external view and....All was fixed!! Not sure what was exactly broke or how it may of been fixed but...I aint going to complain :) Again, thanks an awful lot for all your help and the support you give.

I am also having issues with weapons and external fuel tanks not showing up on the aircraft after selection. Is this fix only for people with the TackPak option installed?

That worked. I can see my load-outs again.
