Where is the pilot?

[Viggen 643]

Well today I decided to do a MiG-21MF and MiG-21PMF joint intercept. It went well until I left the pit to take a look at the Czech camo. Well after I look at the business end and the ammo I went to the nose. I failed to see a pilot and asked myself where it was. Then I noticed the oxygen tube from the helmet-the pilot was behind his seat! His body was at the appropriate height as well. Then taking a look at the PMF it had the same problem.

 

 

How can you fix this?

check the data.ini

 

[Pilot]

SystemType=PILOT_COCKPIT

PilotModelName=Redair1

SetCockpitPosition=TRUE

Position=0.0,2.87,0.85

MinExtentPosition=-0.25, 1.85, 0.05

MaxExtentPosition= 0.25, 2.85, 1.05

HasArmor=TRUE

ArmorMaterial=GLASS

Armor[FRONT].Thickness=62

CanopyNodeName=Canopy

 

this is a copy of my mig-21pfm data.ini the position value sould work for the other mig-21 as well

Did you happen to change the data.ini of your MiGs lately?

In the last patch or two, TK shifted the center of the MiGs' 3d models back some. Some of the MiG cockpits up here haven't been updated for that change, so the _data.ini that comes with the cockpit, has the pilot relative to the old center of the model.You can extract MiG's _data.ini and check the corect pilot position. These are probably the number ravenclaw listed above

 

This also effects decal placement. Some of the old MiG skins will have their decals further back than they should.
