Weapons Hardpoints

[Steven KLein]

Installed a plane where the bombs are supposed to be externally mounted under the wings. The plane does not have an internal bomb bay being a trainer,but pressed into service as a ASW bomber.
The issue is that the bombs don't appear under the wings, but seem to be inside the wings instead and they go through the wings when dropped. It seems that the vertical mount positions for the bombs are off and indicate the bombs are inside the wings and not mounted under the wings

The horizontal mount position. of the bombs from the fuselage on the wings and the horizontal mount position of the bombs along the fuselage from the nose of the plane appear to be good . I know I can edit the mount entries so the bombs will show up under the wings. I know each weapons mount has three entries. Which entry, the first, the second or the third
is for the vertical position of the weapon? I hope I explained it right. Thanks.

1 = X - Horizontal
2 = Y - Vertical
3 = Z - Longitudinal

1 = X - Side position

1 = X - Horizontal
2 = Y - Vertical
3 = Z - Longitudinal

How are the hardpoints numbered from left to right and front to back in the bombay of a bomber with respect to the DP? For example hardpoint 1 on the bombay left side across from hardpoint 2 on the bombay right side or hardpoint 2 behind hardpoint 1 both on the bombay left side. All bombs being at the same vertical position, not stacked on top of each other.
Hopefully, you understand my question.Thanks.

I don't think it matters how you list them in the [HARDPOINTS] section. I would work from front to back. There is a hardpoint limit - 20 I think.

The [PAYLOAD] section(s) determines how you want them released.

Thanks. I read somewhere that the hardpoint limit is 24, but I could be off. I am going from front to back for 3 rows of 6 bombs each as you suggested, but I still have tweaking to do.
