confusing loadout menu

[David198502]

hey guys.i just tried to change my convergences and my ammo.the result:
my mg's in my bf109 dont work anymore.i saved my changes to a new loadout profile.
so i then tried the default profile again.same problem.the mg's dont shoot anymore.seems that the default settings have been overwritten.i find this menu really confusing.and im getting a bit frustrated now.

You've probably overwritten the default loadout.
Happened to me as well.

I couldn't be bothered to to look into the files so I just deleted some folders and DL again.
Problem solved

[David198502]

i solved the problem.seems since the beta patch,my joystick button for the 7mm mg's is not longer recognized as "k"(which was a bit weird before) but as an actual button from my stick.so no more trouble with the menu.

Come on guys, i thought this place was about people helping others :)

[David198502]

hey doc.when you go to quick missions,and select an aircraft,you can then choose your loadout right under the aircraft picture.

I don't seem to be able to save any custom loadouts

[Redroach]

I have been able to save custom loadouts... but only sometimes and quite irreproducably. I saw nothing of it ingame, however, I am still confined to default.
In general, the aircraft menu does absolutely nothing for me.

[JG53Frankyboy]

i save costum loadouts, at least bombs, in the FMB. I can than select these saved loadouts in the other singleplayermissions.

[Ataros]

It does not work in QMB in all missions yet. Maybe after next patch.

Copy all missions you fly to documents\...IL2...\missions\single and fly them from FMB.

You can save loadout profiles in FMB.

[meplay]

Is convergence on the same tab as Ammo Belts? i cant seem to find it :(

That does not work all i see is custom, but its not my load out

[bongodriver]

OK.....I am just not able to save any loadouts, are they stored in a particular folder? I'm getting tired of shooting 2,000 rounds of pea shooter ammo and not even getting a puff of smoke (I know I'm getting hits)

if they are stored as files can someone send me a good loadout so I can force this Muthafukka to give me decent ammo.

[studiox19]

i'm having similar problems. If you look at user.ini in the softclub directory, you'll find all the loadouts for individual planes there. Might be easier to change parameters here than in the actual game!
I've not tried this yet though . . . . .

[studiox19]

what also makes the loadout confusing is that it appears that the allied distances are in feet and the axis in metres - with no visible indication that this is the case. . . . .

[bongodriver]

This is all I see in the user.ini, what options do we have other than weapons 1?

Somebody plz help us out:grin:

[JG27CaptStubing]

That is true... I did custom load outs for a few Spits and Hurries yet I can't seem to select them in the Quick Missions. I have found one that worked but it's very inconsistant.

I think there is something odd going on as well. I can't seem to switch sides either.

I would rather have our old QMB back.

[studiox19]

This is my user.ini after a few changes with the loadouts ingame
