[ADDED B455] FB-111A Loadouts

Post by harpoon731 »

Hi everyone!

CMANO is a phenomenal simulation! I love every bit of it! However, while working in the scenario editor and playing a sandbox scenario I placed some FB-111A's and noticed they only have nuclear load-outs. I spoke withe an FB-111 maintainer (Crew Chief) and asked him about the FB-111, I asked him specifically about being able to carry conventional munitions. He advised me not only could they carry the conventional weapons, but that what they trained with while some of the birds sat nuclear alert with the silver bullets. Is there a way for the database to reflect conventional load-outs for the FB-111A? I cannot find any supporting documentation on the internet regarding the FB-111A, but in talking with my friend, he told me I could ask another person that I work with to confirm that the FB-111A did indeed carry nukes and conventional weapons.

Thanks guys!

FB-111 did carry conventional weapons. I know you can create (on a scenario by scenario idea) different loadouts for your aircraft than appear in the database.

The only way I have seen to do with aircraft is to add them in the air as a unit, then select them in flight, and hit "add weapon record". Then whatever base you select them to land at, make sure you also include the weapons in its magazine so that they will be able to rearm.

That was fast! I look forward to using it! Could we also get it updated in DB3000 as well?

Thanks!

Greetings!

While working on a Scenario, I noticed the 1973 FB-111 has the conventional loadouts, but the 1982-1990 FB-111 does not have the conventional loadouts.

Thanks guys!

PS Awesome simulation!
