Cockpit B-52

[gillg 4]

Well guys, i know that there was a thread here on wpnsgt's cockpit mod for the BUFF, but i wanted to know what was happening with it. Whether someone else picked it up or if its been left alone. I tried to follow the link to simhq that Lexx provided in that thread but it went straight to the home page and navigating thru simhq is like trying to navigate across the oceans without a compass and no stars at night. If no one is picking it up, then is there any help with cockpit modding?

I got a hex editor program but reading that file is goobledygook to me. The cockpit provided in the B-52G is incomplete, the H model has a B-17 cockpit, but if you notice it looks more like a B-52 cockpit with the cockpit struts in the wrong place. I tried moving the strut as per instructions on the thread about canopy mod by vulkan, but the whole top came off.

I know this probably sounds the same as all the other threads out there but it has been riding me for ages. I am no wizard at modding but if i can make any sense of the files i may try myself.

Cheers guys.

Ya, the old simhq links have changed I think.

 

New stuff is here: The ThirdWire B-52D is covered on page 2 of this ThudWire thread ~> http://bbs.thirdwire.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=4410

 

*oops*...right now TK's board seems to be down, or loading very slow...keep trying.

 

Any questions there are wellcome. I give some fully worked out examples, then leave the rest to the student as excersices. I suggest following the examples first. The B-52 is worked out in full, so your luck has already begun. Then concentrate on 3rd Party cockpits that offer an easily read OUT text file, and later move to other ThudWire or 3rd Party cockpits requiring Hex Editor.
