I see the Bombsight mod comes with damage files that will overwrite the new ones in PE.
See it will only effect the players aircraft by the folders.
Anyone having problems?

Duke, Jara will have to weigh in on those damage files that he added into his all-inclusive version of my original bomb sight mod. Mine was plane specific and did not include any damage files at all.

Neither do I wink. You can enable it with JSGME and if anything, you can always disable (remove) the mod harmlessly.

Okay. I’ll delete the .xdp files and give her a go.
Thanks.

eek Do not delete anything! JSGME mod enabler will create backup of all necessary xdp files and then installs the mod. You can disable the mod and restore WOFF PE vanilla settings with JSGME mod enabler anytime. That is the beauty of JSGME smile .

I understand that. I’m deleting to keep the new PE damage model.
If it “breaks the mod” I just wont use it.

This mod can not work without included xdp files wink . Do not worry, you will not lose any new damage models, because that is hardcoded in off.dll and scripted in simulation.xml.
Probably, you will have to delete bdp files, because they are newer than xdp files included in the mod.

Thanks. I’ll check it out.
Thought we just had a ”.bdp file controversy.” I didn’t follow it because I didn’t think I’d be modding.
So deleting them (to be rebuilt on game start) is still a thing?

Using my file comparison program there is about Zero Difference between the old and new .xdp files.
Just your(?) FOV edits for the bombardier.
Looks like a go!

Yes, if you delete bdp files included in aircraft folders, they are being re-created during next WOFF (SFS3) start.

And that is critical - the View value.

Interesting the new damage stuff is all hardcoded.
Learn something new every day.

EDIT: Since I am being a busy beaver (no flying time right now) I may as well check out my old Wind Mod and see if it’s still compatible- or fix it if it’s not.

EDIT: Nope not compatible nor fixable. Looks like wind speed is hardcoded now.

Wind speeds are loaded from weather files, e.g. OFFDynamicMissionWeather.xml (in case you have enabled historical dynamic weather).
