OK....I just got to this one and saw the lines for the 8 .303's OK:

(gunInit (gunName 'gun1 gunMV 2444 gunWeight .0249 gunROF 1140 gunWarhead 0 gunAmmo 350 gunChain 0 gunSound "sndMG2" gunRange 1200))
(gunInit (gunName 'gun2 gunMV 2444 gunWeight .0249 gunROF 1140 gunWarhead 0 gunAmmo 350 gunChain 0 gunSound "sndMG2" gunRange 1200))
(gunInit (gunName 'gun4 gunMV 2444 gunWeight .0249 gunROF 1140 gunWarhead 0 gunAmmo 350 gunChain 1 gunSound "sndMG2" gunRange 1200))
(gunInit (gunName 'gun3 gunMV 2444 gunWeight .0249 gunROF 1140 gunWarhead 0 gunAmmo 350 gunChain 1 gunSound "sndMG2" gunRange 1200))

(gunInit (gunName 'gun5 gunMV 2444 gunWeight .0249 gunROF 1140 gunWarhead 0 gunAmmo 350 gunChain 0 gunSound "sndMG2" gunRange 1200))
(gunInit (gunName 'gun6 gunMV 2444 gunWeight .0249 gunROF 1140 gunWarhead 0 gunAmmo 350 gunChain 0 gunSound "sndMG2" gunRange 1200))
(gunInit (gunName 'gun8 gunMV 2444 gunWeight .0249 gunROF 1140 gunWarhead 0 gunAmmo 350 gunChain 1 gunSound "sndMG2" gunRange 1200))
(gunInit (gunName 'gun7 gunMV 2444 gunWeight .0249 gunROF 1140 gunWarhead 0 gunAmmo 350 gunChain 1 gunSound "sndMG2" gunRange 1200))


But then under these numbers are more gun references and numbers....

(gunInit (gunName 'gunTop1 gunMV 2810 gunWeight .106 gunROF 720 gunWarhead 0 gunAmmo 490 gunChain 0 gunSound "sndMG3" gunRange 3000))
(gunInit (gunName 'gunTop2 gunMV 2810 gunWeight .106 gunROF 720 gunWarhead 0 gunAmmo 490 gunChain 0 gunSound "sndMG3" gunRange 3000))

(gunInit (gunName 'gunBottom1 gunMV 2810 gunWeight .106 gunROF 720 gunWarhead 0 gunAmmo 490 gunChain 0 gunSound "sndMG3" gunRange 3000))
(gunInit (gunName 'gunBottom2 gunMV 2810 gunWeight .106 gunROF 720 gunWarhead 0 gunAmmo 490 gunChain 0 gunSound "sndMG3" gunRange 3000))

What do these represent? I thought there were just 8- .303's!

Jeeves,

The gunWeight in the second group looks like possibly 50 cal - but I'm not sure....

Perhaps an option for 4x 50 cal's intead of the standard 8x .303's - don't know if it is historicaly correct for the model depicted.

Or.....If I remenber correctly, Bryan did play with making a defiant out of the hurricane at one stage....perhaps this is residual from that...

Or....I have no idea...

Cheers,

AGAS 5

In Mace's loadout there is an option for the historically correct 12 .303,s .

Well-- I can add in the 12 alright-- but if the .50's (and you are right AGAS-- looking at the weight and MV values-- they are almost identical to the .50's!) don't belong, then I want to know so I can take them out

I will look at mace's and see what I can add in-- thanks guys!

I've never seen those before, the original loadout was just a copy of the Spit MK1

OK....cool So if people are wondering what I am doing with these loadouts-- this is a good example-- I am going into each one and fixing inconsistencies like this, and like how one plane's .50 caliber ammo is heavier than anothers...etc.

Also-- a huge one which many have missed, and if I was a regular Axis pilot (which I am not---yuck!! )-- I would be interested in-- the German 250 and 500 kg bombs-- their weights are also in kg in the loadouts-- but loadouts measure pounds-- so I change 250kg to 551 lbs with 287 lbs explosive (52% charge to weight ratio) and the 500kg bomb to 1102 lbs with 485lbs explosive (44% charge to weight ratio) I have also agjusted these values for the 50kg bombs

I am learning a lot with this and have met a lot of interesting people doing my research )
