We were talking about AA, not the Lanc, but in any case I'll get the model from Iron Mike's and convert it to the dambuster model.

Here we go folks.

Notice once again, a perfectly fine topic going off the rails because of the same guy.

Where are our oncologists, Mr. Mad Max or Sandbagger?

Not off topic at all.

Just asked why your not going to update the Bam Buster model?

Your starting to move off topic by not answering the question.

You aren't asking these questions for the sake of knowledge or advancing the game.

You are attempting to metastasize another thread.

Everyone knows it.

The question is, will the moderators do anything about it?

No I'm not!

Answer the question please.

Why not update the Dam Buster model?

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:

There may appear to be some duplication of weapon names, but the data in each of the corresponding lines in "weapons.dat" is different. 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

Yes, back on topic.

The only loadout editing I will have to do is for SPAW45 and The General's War because the weapons for those two scenarios are out of place.

I will also edit the loadouts for some of the Med planes as we now have more historically accurate weapons for them.

Once I upgrade the Lanc, which will take a day or so, I will start on those projects.

BTW, part of the updating process for the weapons also involved making upgrades to the weapons themselves. Many of the 3dz files and the graphics got an overhaul because some of them were pretty basic.

In addition there were a lot of duplicate texture files that had been named for one particular slot. I consolidated those textured so that there only 10 texture files for all of the weapons and weapons racks. Might help reduce memory loading a bit.

Oh and don't get too excited about those gunpods. They don't work and they're only included so that the slot positions stay the same.

Addressing their non-functionality is something for a later day.

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! bananadance

New models are great but they take a long tome to build.

The best part is that players have a choice.

Some will chose to run in d3d and have a vast array of decent planes, some will not be bothered by the glide issue and have access to those same planes and some will wait for the perfect glide compatible ones that get issued infrequently.

Seems we have all the bases covered.

Yep, I'm in the middle of fixing those. Although, if you listen to the mavens around here all you have to do is up the anistropic filtering or some such and the jagged edges go away like magic.

In any case, I'm not going to respond to anymore off topic comments in this thread.

This is your topic relating to the latest 1.5 developments and it should remain so.

Anyone wants to debate the relative merits of different styles of 3dz modeling can start their own thread.

Just for your information, Sandbagger is no longer a moderator here, and that responsibility rests with me.

On reading this thread, I can not see anything that breaches SimHQ protocols, just the bad manners that seems to be very common here unfortunately.
