In 140 you selected a theatre and then a planeset. The theatres often had their own "weapons.str", "weapons.dat"and "hrdpoint.dat" files. If not the default ones in "savedata" would be used. This was the major problem in switching to 150. In 150 you select a planeset then a theatre, so the "weapons.dat"and "hrdpoint.dat" files are likely to be completely inappropriate for the selected planeset. So the following work has either been done already, or is currently under way: 1. All "weapons.dat", "weapons.str" and "hrdpoint.dat" files have been removed from the theatres. 2. The "weapons.dat" and "weapons.str" files in "savedata" have been extended to be all-inclusive. More extension may be necessary. 3. The "hrdpoint.dat" file in "savedata" is currently being extended to become all-inclusive. 4. Some loadout and other files have been, or are being, edited to match the all-inclusive files. Ray and I both think that this will be a much better system than 140 It is already a very simple task for players to select their own individual aircraft for a game, and fly EAW without even selecting a a planeset, or to create a new planeset from the ones they have selected.

I revamped the GUI this morning, and I can still add "mouse info" if you think it is needed Level one opening screen: An aircraft set selected: If you select the aircraft the lists of skin folders and FM folders it references can be seen and even edited if you click the "Personal aircraft selection utility" tab. Making an aircraft selection brings up the folder re-naming and information editing possibilities. This may not seem necessary, but if level two users assemble a new set of planes and save them the files go into the first available folder. The name of this folder will be something like "PS24" which is not user friendly, and needs to be re-named. Edit: The "PSMV10.exe" interface is available on the 150 download page

Simply amazing addition to 1.5. From concept to fruition in two days. You know, the Americans used skip bombing attacks in the Pacific and the Germans experimented with the idea after recovering an unexploded Brit bomb from one of the Lancs that got shot down. Just sayin'.
Heck, even paranoids have enemies.

David Shannon strikes again Well not strictly speaking, he did not breach the dam, and he was not flying a FAA Avenger In truth he dropped the first upkeep mine on the Eder, which was eventually breached. In the 1980s I lived in Bridgewater, South Australia a stone's throw from his family residence. I only discovered that years later, so I never met him

Trying to get back on topic in thread that was meant to be informative about the current development of UAW150 for the readers here is an update: We have successfully extended the "hrdpoints.dat" file to 28 hardpoints. The latest versions of the UAW150 exes expect to read a file with 28 hardpoints and not 16. The "weapons.dat" and "weapons.str" files have been extended. This is a text dump of the ""weapons.str" file: NONE BOMB_100LB BOMB_250LB BOMB_500LB BOMB_1000LB BOMB_50KG BOMB_100KG BOMB_250KG BOMB_500KG TANK_45G TANK_75G TANK_108G TANK_150G TANK_165G TANK_200G TANK_300L ROCKET_4IN ROCKET_5IN ROCKET_HVAR ROCKET_210MM ROCKET_R4M WROCKET_Pzb2 50CAL_GUNPOD 20MM_TWIN_GUNPOD 30MM_GUNPOD1 37MM_GUNPOD1 75MM_GUNPOD 20MM_GUNPOD 30MM_GUNPOD 37MM_GUNPOD Torpedo1 Torpedo Cargo Parachute 250lb Bmb L-2 250lb Bmb L-3 500lb Bmb L-2 500lb Bmb L-3 1000lb bmb L-2 1000lb Bmb L-3 100kg Bmb L-2 100kg Bmb L-3 220kg Bmb L-2 220kg Bmb L-3 500kg Bmb L-2 500kg Bmb L-3 23lb parafrg L-1 45 gl Drop tnk 5" HVAR rkt L-1 50 gl.

SPAW and default loadouts use different sections of the "weapons.dat" file. No other "hrdpoints.dat", "weapons.dat" and "weapons.str" files are used for any theatre other than the default ones in the "savedata" folder.

This thread was meant to be informative about 150 development. Readers now have to wade through six posts by Col Gibbon that are completely unrelated to 150 development, and have no place in this thread. Of course, some were clearly made to provoke a response, so there are even more posts that would have otherwise been unnecessary, including this one

I also did a few little things to straighten out the Lanc. But, it still has the original Glide glitchs that plague so many other conversions. Because of that I prefer new models or at least ones that have been completely redone and are Glide Glitch free. Oh yes, I chose this model and squadron at Jel's request. And, 617 is very heavily documented and the raiders can be skinned. Maybe I will get close to a Lanc in August on my visit to the UK. Maybe not, anyway RAF and IWM look out. I'm coming back!
