F-86F TP - load outs

Post by DagR » Sun Jul 02, 2017 10:46 am

Hi,

Just a small question here. I am using the TP F-86, latest, in P3D V4. I do know that the TP is not updated for V4 and that TP controls loadouts on the F-86. Is there a way I can load external tanks so that they are visible without TP, like enabling the old ACM inside P3D? I see the ACM but no stores are visible. I am just wondering about this as a temporary solution undil VRS updates TP.

Best
Dag

You can back up your TP aircraft cfg and copy over the non TP aircraft cfg and then the old loadout manager will work.

I may be totally thick here but where is the non-TP aircraft.cfg located?

Do you have the non TP version installed?

Nope, but I have that so maybe if I copy everything from the non-TP aircraft.cfg below the paint entries it might function as desired?

Yes. Just remember to back up your TP aircraft cfg.

That did not work. Used aircraft cfg from 160222 non tacpack :shock:

How did you try to control the loadout? Which loadout manager? Screenshot?

I used the original configurator, instead of the TP one. Logged off the pc now.

Was there a weight shift by the aircraft?

On second thoughts I just realised there is a bit more to it than just the aircraft cfg. I suggest not flying the TACPACK version at all until VRS releases TACPACK for v4. Until then, fly the non TP version in v4.

Roger that! Yep, a weight shift was present but no stores. I noted the bomb loading caused the aircraft to drop more to one side tham the other, looked like only one bomb was loaded.

Best and thanks
