[REL|FC2] Su-35 Enhanced Weapons Upgrade

Development to enhance the RU & US Advanced Weapons still continues. At today of this release, I presented you the patch to enhance the Su-27SM2 and Su-27SMK aircrafts. ATM of this release, weapons that you can load for those are limited. I will expand more in a v1.2 upgrade that provided as a separate pack - an official patch for the v1.1 upgrade to v1.2.

As you can see, the fact that you cannot debug the Su-27SM mod for FC2 (see this post I made some time ago) are actually can be addressed by version 1.5p of his mod (full name: 3GO Flanker Model V1.5p), which contains pylon model files that provided by 3GO for the pylonless Su-27 aircraft that destined for aerobatic purposes. Luckily with a bit of XYZ position knowledge and the know-how to convert the XML to LUA, and as well with a help of a calculator :O, this unofficial patch pack finally come into a release.

ATM, this mod is not yet compatible with patch packs that released early before this mod. I suggest to uninstall any patch mods (like Combined Forces Weapon Mod Repacked and Aerobatic Tasking) before installing this to avoid unwanted bugs in the simulator. As I said earlier, this patch will become official in a v1.2 upgrade that provided as a separate pack - an official patch for the v1.1 upgrade to v1.2.

So, I hope you like it. And oh, I have slipped in the fix for GBU-12 bombs for Mirage rack that "bugged" due to unknown reason. This is fixed by changing the World ID that was previously 5 to 2 in db_weapons.lua file. In fact, the weapon's World ID is linked to Names.lua categorization for specific weapons (is the weapon assigned in bombwsTypes or in bombLaunchTypes?). I'll see if I can do with AASM rocket-boosted bomb in the official v1.2 upgrade release; perhaps it's the World ID that cause the missile to improperly displayed (they instead gone before you can even see it firing).

Download

Please take your time to read the ReadMe file provided in the package as this is an unofficial patch pack destined for  RU & US Advanced Weapons v1.1. Don't expect to have it fully running in missions, due to fact that some missions use one of those aircrafts (either Su-27SM2 or Su-27SMK) and they have bugged weapons payload.

Also, before you can use this mod, download the  RU & US Advanced Weapons v1.1 mod here.
If you like this mod and say that it's good, I'll try converting this mod destined for igorboss16's mod here, so everyone can enjoy the mod without having it bugged (like weapons placed under the wing and without pylons).

Screenshots

These are taken during the initial test of the mod. So far there are no bugs. I actually got a problem with Pylons.lua mapping, however; you may say it is working for customized Su-27SM2 and Su-27SMK, but not for standard Su-27 (some weapons, although it's placed properly, may show up invisible/bugged before you can even fire it).
Official upgrade to v1.2 is 95% done, but I have to suspend it for a while; tomorrow I will have a Digital Image Processing quiz, and to note also, my friend "forced" me to do "assistance" with a Database Systems teacher the day after tomorrow.
