Weapons on vehicles

[Grokk 0]

Hi,

I'm working on a Fokker E.III for No Man's Land mod, but I can't get it working. Got it in air allright, it isnt a flight problem, but I cant get the machine gun on front working.

When I run ofp, nothing goes wrong, but as soon as I put the plane in the editor, and press preview, the game crashes.

I put the cpp I'm using below, hope that's the problem, but I guess it isnt, for normally ofp wont startup if the cpp file isnt correct.

Are there special selection names you should use when using a machine-gun on a plane? Or aren't they important at all and is everything defined in the cpp file?

1.) Define the new weapon in CfgPatches in Weapon section

2.) Put in "Count = number of butllets" in the weapon section of the machinegun.

I don't see anything else that's wrong here.

Tried it, but it still doesnt work

It keeps quitting.

Gonna test if it still works if I remove weapons stuff from the config.

Ok, I've traced the problem. It is somewhere in the weapons stuff, for I've removed it all from the config, and it worked again.

Hmm.. Tried some more.. Because it still is based on a10 (gonna change that in cessna), and I removed weapons and magazines from the cfgvehicles part, I got the original a10 loadout. Good news, and also, the m-gun fires from the right place. (Not sure because of wich memory point it is, for I've inserted some from a tank m-gun, hoping the plane would work then). If it's not kulomet, then it's one of the othere memory-lod points.

Anyway, this means the problem is in the cfgweapons part or cfgammo or cfgpatches, and cfgvehicles is ruled out. Anyone knows what could be wrong?
