What do you mean exactly?

Change existing pilot?

Or add new pilot?

 

Is there pilot in your Mig-21? Or is he sitting on wrong position?

You want add new downloaded pilot, right?. I understand it right, I hope.

 

So, I downloaded one new pilot from your link. There is Read me file. I followed instructions, and new pilot works right.

I downloaded VF-41 Black Aces pilot

 

Let's go to try add VF-41 Black Aces pilot:

1. Unzip downloaded pilot files to Wings Over Europe\Objects\Aircraft folder

2. open aircraft_data.ini in which you want change pilot, Mig-21MF for example:

scroll down to Crew line

 

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

 

[Pilot]

SystemType=PILOT_COCKPIT

PilotModelName=RedAir1 ----------------------------- change this to PilotModelName=VF41BLA.LOD

SetCockpitPosition=TRUE

Position=0.0,2.83,0.85

MinExtentPosition=-0.30, 2.37, 0.05

MaxExtentPosition= 0.30, 3.42, 1.05

HasArmor=TRUE

ArmorMaterial=GLASS

Armor[FRONT].Thickness=62

CanopyNodeName=Canopy

 

Then you will have this:

 

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

 

[Pilot]

SystemType=PILOT_COCKPIT

PilotModelName=VF41BLA.LOD

SetCockpitPosition=TRUE

Position=0.0,2.83,0.85

MinExtentPosition=-0.30, 2.37, 0.05

MaxExtentPosition= 0.30, 3.42, 1.05

HasArmor=TRUE

ArmorMaterial=GLASS

Armor[FRONT].Thickness=62

CanopyNodeName=Canopy

 

3. save, close, and go fly

 

Then you will have new pilot

 

BTW, you can not see ejected pilot. It is not possible in WOE, I think.

 

This helps, I hope

I copied this note here from CombatAce and I do not know who to credit with the help, but it fixed my MiG-21 pilot not showing problem:

 

MiG-21 Crew Positioning

 

The "crew positioning" problem in Data.ini for the mig-21.

 

I fixed mine by playing with the numbers:

 

Try this with:

 

Open Mig-21xxx Data.ini with notpad

 

Scroll down to "crew"

 

Change position as below:

 

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

 

[Pilot]

SystemType=PILOT_COCKPIT

PilotModelName=

SetCockpitPosition=TRUE

Position=0.0,2.83,0.85 <---------------------this is the number to change! (2nd number is fore and aft and is the usual suspect, start by adding about 0.5 to this)

MinExtentPosition=-0.30, 2.37, 0.05

MaxExtentPosition= 0.30, 3.42, 1.05

HasArmor=TRUE

ArmorMaterial=GLASS

Armor[FRONT].Thickness=62

CanopyNodeName=Canopy

 

Try this.

The PilotModelName= should be VF41BLA, with nothing after it. Do not include the .LOD portion, as shown below.

 

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

 

[Pilot]

SystemType=PILOT_COCKPIT

PilotModelName=RedAir1 ----------------------------- change this to PilotModelName=VF41BLA.LOD

The line should read PilotModelName=VF41BLA

 

Also, make sure that the VF41BLA and two included LOD files are located in your Aircraft Folder, not your MiG-21MF Folder.

 

Hope this fixes it, because it works perfectly in my installs.

You are right with Aircraft folder. I do not wrote it clear, I think. I am sorry.

I am using VF41BLA.LOD and screeenshot is with this .LOD portion in Mig-21MF_data.ini

In original it is without .LOD as you wrote (RedAir1)

 

So it works in both examples. But if your way is better, I have no problem use it, of course :yes: (I am not .ini guru. I just followed steps in VF-41 Readme file).

 

BTW, kh606fp has problem with Position, I think. I had this problem too. We can see this problem here at CA forums often.

There isn't a post in the KB about these Fishbed pilot crisis is there?

There are Wrenchs notes about Indian and chinese Mig-21 versions (missing pilot, misplaced afterburner emmitters and decals...). There is not move pilot position fix exactly, I think (but it is not needed for Indian, Pakistani and Chinese Mig-21 versions. They need pre latest patch version .LOD fix, as Wrench wrote in the knowlodge base).

And, this is not crysis, I hope

Wrong pilot positions problems we can find with search engine. There are good instructions how move pilot to the right position in older topics. We can learn basic .ini editing on this wrong pilot position problem

Edited December 29, 2007 by kukulino

[Viggen]

If the search engine is working!

[+Wrench]

Looks like I never DID post a thread about the pilot, afterburner, and decal fixes.

 

Oh well.... The latest patched versions info, after you extract the data inis for the older birds, are just a copy/paste away from a fix.

 

At any rate, here's the Pilot position fix:

 

Position=0.0,2.80,0.85

 

Remember, you Noobs (and I mean that with affection ), you'll have to get the cat extraction tool from the Utilities section, extract the data ini for the Fishead in question, and apply the fixes.

 

Mind you, a stock, fully patched install don't need the fix....you'll only have to do the extraction if you're wanting to add a different pilot figure, or fix loadouts due to adding the weapons pak. Or 'repairing' older mods.

 

BTW, the Indian MiG-21's are pretty much fully updated, and available in the downloads section. It's only the Pakis and Chinese versions I really haven't done anyting with, as they need totally new cockpits, that support HUDs. (note: some actually are posted in the Loadouts Fixes thread in the KB -- with explinations)

Well, we need more learning :yes:

My Mig-21s works right, but I can't shot down F-15. What is wrong?

The Eagle Driver is useing his over all superior capability and training against you as you yell to your flight Glory for the Motherland and the Party, as the Squadron political officer in the number 5 aircraft roles his eyes and says you are a traitor for not paying your Party Dues?

I have no trouble shooting down F-15's and F-16 with the MiG-21bis

Yeah but did your Air Army have 100 political officers in each unit.

Hi, my friend

There is only one right answer on my question... Yours
