Hi Luiscarlossb28,

It looks like you are missing the gun loadout in the attachments.xml file. Also, your aircraft.cfg gun_loadout section will also need to match the title of the gun loadout in attachments.xml file.

Our default F-16C ships with a gun loadout. You can locate it in your SimObjects\Airplanes\F-16C directory. The name of the gun loadout is "Right Internal Mount". You should see this title referenced in both the aircraft.cfg and the attachments.xml.

Regards,
Clifton

good morning

I continue doing the exercises but the guns and the countermeasures do not work for me. Could you help me, thanks.

Hi Luiscarlossb28,

Which version of Prepar3D are you using (Academic, Professional, or Professional Plus)? Weapons are only available in the Professional Plus version.

It looks like your gun is on station 3, which is an attach point based station. This would require the model to have the attach point built in. The Mooney Bravo model does not have this attach point.

If you don't have access to the model source, you can use offsets in the Attachments.xml to position the stations. You can see this being done for the first station, CM Left.

You may also want to add the WeaponsGauge to your panel.cfg. This would allow you to see the loadouts, select stations, and enable or disable the different systems. You can use our default F-16 as reference.

Additionally, you may want to try enabling Content Error Reporting in Settings > General. This will create a ContentErrorReport.txt file in your Documents\Prepar3D v5 Files directory which may provide additional information why things are failing to load.

Regards,
Clifton

Good afternmoon

The version I have is prepare professional pluss 5.3.17


I am doing tests with this plane in order to modify the developments themselves

If you don't have access to the model source -------When you talk about this, what do you mean? or how can i do it



ContentErrors.txt
[error.0]
error=ModelAttachPointName (attachpt_gun) defined in Attachments.xml, but not found on owner model.

[error.2]
error=ModelAttachPointName (attachpt_internal_r_1) defined in Attachments.xml, but not found on owner model.

Thank you for your cooperation

Hi Luiscarlossb28,

The model source is the original 3dsMax .max file. We ship a couple examples in the SDK, however all of the SimObject models are compiled to MDL file using XtoMDL. Attachpoints are created in the 3dsMax file, which are then compiled into MDL. You cannot add attachpoints to an MDL file without the original .max file.

As alternative, in your Attachments.xml you can use PositionOffset rather than ModelAttachPointName to position the station if you are unable to edit the model.

Regards,
Clifton

best regard

I have a gun configured, it works normally, but my model has 2 machine guns, how can I attach another one and have them fire at the same time?
