Hmmm... I think I am mistaken about this being a TOTALLY editable in the FATK.

IIRC turning on the proximity fuse is by checking the FINAL COLLISION CHECK EARLY box under ordnance parameters in the FATK, as the other box FINAL COLLISION CHECK LATE is for hit to kill impacts.

I am unsure which takes precedence if both are checked...

I think SETTING the SIZE of the promixity detection this is a text editor solution.

I will have to dig into my archives to find the JT file descriptors...

But you can also look thru these forums for information on weapons manipulation...

There should also be pages about/from early developers from the late 90s on the FARC...

OR maybe Zephyr can step in and help us out, as I have to adjust this for my SAMs and even I cant remember how! LMAO!!!!!!

FA Futures/FA-2 is Still Being Worked On and Will Be Released...

Here is what I was looking for on Proximity fuses...



UPDATE: From my recent testing, BOTH LATE and EARLY need to be checked for proximity Fuse to work correctly

I flew tests with both air to air, surface to air, air to ground, and gravity bombs and I have to say the proximity fuse effects are pretty wild...

You really cant see it for incoming airborne weapons from the F5 view, as the fisheye angle makes it still look very close when it goes off, unless the fuse is set for some ungodly distance like 10,000 ft...

BUT if you are in F10 view, you can see the proximity fuse go off at the proper distance from the target, even if it is as little as 100 feet!

Overall I would say its a great effect and I have implemented it on all appropiate weapons...

UPDATE: I added teh function to large caliber AAA guns it really makes the 57MM ZSU gun look much more raleastic when 2 rounds are coming at you from both cannons and 1 explodes from proximity and the other misses, outside the fuse range...

See Below...

I used the ATF FLAK explosion fo rthe Proximity Fuse explosion.

One round has exploded wth the proximity fuse within range of the A-10, the second tracer round contnues on by, no exploding, as it is outside the range...

very nice cag again this was extremely helpful in the AAA and even SAM area. adds much more realism to the game. The screenshot looks really awsome btw.

Is there a list of aircraft and weapons in FAF Korea 2003 (and their respective .JT/.PT files)? I'm trying to edit my pilot's aircraft and weapon inventories and I can't access the libraries to see for myself. I tried using Libhack, but the texts in .JT and .PT files are unintelligible.

No, sorry there isnt, but dont put much effort into FAF 2003 as I am close to releasing FAF 2010 and it will have the list of items in it for your use...

Just finishing the final items now and testing them working together in large libraries...

Good to hear that the release is coming soon!

I managed through trial and error to find out most of the .JT files and their relations to the weapons in order to create such a list myself. Here's what I've come up with so far, The red font is where the weapon's name differs from the JT file's name.

TBC...

Will there be a distinct difference in shapes between different versions of related aircraft like F/A-18C/D Hornet to the E/F Super Hornet or the Mirage III/5 to the Mirage 2000? Just curious.

Uhhh... Yea. That is why it is taking so long to complete it... The many number of shape alterations involved in this update are staggering...

Do you suppose we could have heaters on double-rails? (AIM-9M/X/ASRAAM)

On what type of vehicles? All shape altering is limited to using the existing number of polygons on existing shapes, allowing only certain changes to be made by reshaping those polygons and adding detailed skins...

I can not add weapon shapes to aircraft, because there simply isnt enough available polygons on the shapes to build the weapon...

I could add AIM-9 sidewinders to the wingtips on F-104s, using the existing polygons of the tip tanks, but there are no F-104s in FAF Korea...

Also on some SAM vehicles though this isnt a problem, as they have exisitng missiles and enough polygons to alter them to represent the proper weapons...

No, not shapes! I meant in the stores selection.

I have modelled aicraft such as the F-15C/E/Ks in FAF Korea 2010 that have all the hardpoints availalbe that allow you to load 2 siderwinders on each of the single wing hardpoints to simulate the double rail heater you mention. You can also choose to load either a single AMRAAM and a Sidewinder, or a pair of AMRAAMs...

Also I do have the double rail Russain AA-8s that the MiGs carry...

I have opened a new weapon slot by the elimination of one reducndant weapon, but since there is a maximum number of weapons that you can create without making fuel tanks and ECM pods dissappear from the selection page, I dont know if I will use it to make a doulbe rail Sidewinder or not...

Generally no airforce relies pon double heaters anymore, always carrying a minimal number of IR missiles to use incase the enemy penetrates to WVT combat, as they plan to do their fighting at BVR combat instead...
