This additional, Compatibility Add-On-specific guide will require you to understand this guide first.
In this additional guide to the PPDT editing guide above, I will show you the weapon types differences for the 4 add-on mods that have two variants as of 2/26/24 so that, you, the user, can change them to the other, unsupported variant if you choose to do so.
Editing F/A-18R\F/A-22C to use their second variant:
Playable F-104C -AV-, EA-18G, F/A-18R and F/A-22C add-ons each have two variants:
- FA-18R_Bourdon_Type_A_P.pak (the one PPDT supports)
- FA-18R_Bourdon_Type_B_P.pak
For the F/A-18R.
- FA-22C_BASE(GPB) - ADDON_P.pak (the one PPDT supports)
- FA-22C_BASE(XSDB) - ADDON_P.pak
For the F/A-22C.
From now on, I'll refer to the variant supported as variant A, whilst the other variant as variant B.
Difference between F/A-18R variants:
Variant A
Gun ammo: 2400
SPW1: qaam - 32
Variant B
Gun ammo: 3600
SPW1: 4aam - 12
Difference between F/A-22C variants:
Variant A
SPW2: gpb - 30
Variant B
SPW2: xsdb - 52
If you want to use variant B of the add-ons mentioned here, all you need to do is edit the ID from variant A to variant B and then edit the ammo count. Double-click to the value of the weapon types, then type the correct one according to the SS I showed above.
Simple as that.
