Open the aircraft data.ini of th e plane you want to add the pilot too.

 

It looks something like this.

 

Pilot

SystemType=PILOT_COCKPIT

PilotModelName = Harrier <----This is where you add this line of the pilot you want to use.

Position=0.0,2.8,0.55

SeatModelName=seat_a-4

SeatPosition=0.00,2.80,0.15

MinExtentPosition=-0.25, 2.5,-0.2

MaxExtentPosition= 0.25, 3.2, 0.8

 

 

Make sure the pilot and skin is in your main aircraft folder. You should then be set.

So just edit the line where it says pilot model name using wordpad? assuming everything else is in its proper place...

Yes add that line.

[markkyle66]

Yes add that line.

 

 

Ive almost got it! .. i'm trying to use the VF31 tomcatters pilot from column5... it didnt load and crashed the game when i went to fly with a tomcat ... ? for that one line i wrote this... PilotModelName=vf31af1 I did the same for the Copilot... without puting .lod after it ... since the readme said it wasnt required. The pilots are in the WOV/aircraft folder and not in a specific aircraft folder

 

thanks for trying to help me lol

Not sure who uploaded this file since I'm the author of the textures.

 

Check to see if there is a cfg file named vf31af1. Open it up with Notepad or Word and check to see if the names match the LOD file.

 

[LOD001]

Filename=XXX.LOD <---should be vf31af1.LOD

Distance=40

 

[LOD002]

Filename=XXX_lod002.LOD <---should be vf31af1.LOD

Distance=300

You dont need the file extension just the name.

 

PilotModelName = Harrier

 

Make sure the name you write in matches the BMP.

Readme from one

Template: Diego

 

Installation:

1.Drop the 3 files in your Strikes Fighters/Objects/Aircraft folder

2.Open the plane_data.ini file of the plane that you want the pilot skin to go with, search for

 

 

// Crew ---------------------------------------------------------

 

[Pilot]

SystemType=PILOT_COCKPIT

 

and then, just under this line, enter "PilotModelName=XXX.LOD" so you'll see

 

 

// Crew ---------------------------------------------------------

 

[Pilot]

SystemType=PILOT_COCKPIT

PilotModelName=XXX.LOD

 

XXX.LOD is the name of the file.lod provided in each zip

 

Here it is!!
