OVERVIEW

This mod brings alternative options to ADFX-01's special weapons.
  • TLS can be changed to Multihoming TLS - 5500m range, up to 4 locks, stackable, high tick rate and damage, locking requires target to be in guidance circle but does not need to  remain within after firing.
  • MPBM can be changed to Volatile MPBM - Causes explosion along its flight path, but has unstable flight pattern.
  • IEWS can be changed to Rear Protection ECM - Protects the aircraft from the rear against missiles and guns (not 100% guaranteed). Front side is still vulnerable, and flying fast risks  your own weapons failing.
Additionally, droptank trigger (hold weapon switch button) activates IEWS similar to the one on 3rd SP Weapon slot's default. As alternative, this mod includes option to use Helios Mine, which deploys a small projectile that remains in place for 5 seconds before detonating, causing damage in a small area.

(See Videos for demonstration)

INSTALLATION

  • Download the mod archive file from Nexus
  • Unzip the file contents
  • Place the files you want to install to your game's ~mods/ folder
You can choose which weapon(s) you want to have. See the included Readme for details.

Latest version allows you to apply the swap to only skin slots of your choosing using the skin selector files (or to all skins with the All Skins file). The selected skin slot will then be incompatible with other ADFX-01 weapon swap mods. Keep in mind that ammo count is shared across skin slots.

!! IMPORTANT NOTE !!
In hangar, the weapons will show their default name and model, but the change will apply in-game, if installed correctly.

KNOWN ISSUES
  • Multihoming TLS beam may clip into the front parts of the plane
  • Volatile MPBM has wonky flight pattern occasionally or against certain targets, notably enemies on M11 platforms and on Arsenal Bird
  • Rear Protection ECM sometimes does not protect against guns or missiles.
  • Flying fast while having Rear Protection ECM active may cause missiles or guns fired by the player to explode on launch. Helios Mine may also not  cause damage.
