Fatman Posted April 30, 2008 Posted April 30, 2008 April 30, 2008 Need HELP!!!!! How do I download WW2 pilots into WOE. I have started a new campaign for WW2 aircraft for WOE. Thanks Fatman Quote
+allenjb42 Posted April 30, 2008 Posted April 30, 2008 Just the same as for planes, you download them into the Objects\Aircraft folder. Quote
Fatman Posted May 1, 2008 Author Posted May 1, 2008 Just the same as for planes, you download them into the Objects\Aircraft folder. May 01, 2008 Did download in the Object\Aircraft folder, still get modern day pilots and not WW2 pilots. Thanks Fatman Quote
+allenjb42 Posted May 1, 2008 Posted May 1, 2008 You need to go into each aircraft's data.ini and specify the pilot you want. This is from Wrench's site (and in the KB too? I haven't checked) If you haven't extracted the data.ini for the aircraft you wish to modify, do so. If already extracted, open up the **data.ini for your aircraft of choice. In the example below, we are using the F-100D -- Find the section marked crew, as below: // Crew --------------------------------------------------------- [Pilot] SystemType=PILOT_COCKPIT PilotModelName= * Position=0.00,4.15,0.88 SeatModelName=seat_f-100 SeatPosition=0.00,3.98,0.45 MinExtentPosition=-0.25,3.52,-0.30 MaxExtentPosition= 0.25,4.83, 1.09 CanopyNodeName=canopy_frame_rear_outer * = left blank in this example If your data ini does not have the line: PilotModelName= You =MUST= add it. Then, you can add the pilot figure of choice. Remember, it is case sensitive, so if it's "PILOTAF" you must use all capitals. If it's "PilotCH", you must use the upper and lower case lettering. Adding ".lod" is NOT required. Quote

Please is there anything else I can do. Thanks Fatman Quote
+allenjb42 Posted May 3, 2008 Posted May 3, 2008 Is this with all WW2 pilots? There are a few of them around. If you're having trouble with a particular pilot then try one of the others. And is this with all planes? Some of the WW2 planes, like those from the A Team, come with the pilot as part of the download. It's usually in a folder called crew, and you need to copy the contents of the folder to your aircraft folder. The Data.ini of those are already set up to take the appropriate pilot. I just checked the Spitfire 1A and that's the case, so that plane should show a WW2 pilot when you fly it in game. Let us know how you get on. Quote
Fatman Posted May 5, 2008 Author Posted May 5, 2008 May 05, 2008 Have try everything I can think of, still can not get the WW2 pilots in the aircraft. Do you think the problem might be because it is WOE? Thanks Fatman Quote
+allenjb42 Posted May 5, 2008 Posted May 5, 2008 No, WOE shouldn't be a problem. I copied a Spitfire from my SFGETO instal to WOE and it was fine Here's a screenshot of my WOE Objects\Aircraft folder where you can see the Spitfire and pilot. As you can see there are lots of other poilots in there too, but the Spit flies with the right one. Here's the pilot part of the data.ini - note where the PilotModelName has to say the name of the pilot you want. // Crew----------------------------------- [Pilot] SystemType=PILOT_COCKPIT PilotModelName=PilotSpitfire Position=0.0000,-0.1218,0.6308 MinExtentPosition=-0.300,0.35,0.500 MaxExtentPosition= 0.300,-0.15,1.350 CanopyNodeName=Cockpit HasArmor=TRUE ArmorMaterial=STEEL Armor[FRONT].Thickness=1 Armor[REAR].Thickness=5 Other than that I'm a bit stumped.

Fatman Posted May 6, 2008 Author Posted May 6, 2008 May 05, 2008 Did the pilot part of the data.ini for the Spitfire as per your data. I am stumped, the pilot still is a modern pilot and not a WW2 pilot. Could I have a bug in WOE , no matter what I do, it is always going to be a modern pilot? Thanks Fatnman Quote
+allenjb42 Posted May 6, 2008 Posted May 6, 2008 Are you basically getting the checkered helmet pilot in every plane? Can you add different modern pilots to your other, non-WW2 planes? If so, then that sounds like a bug. The only thing I can suggest is that you do a fresh, fully patched, install and have another go at adding the WW2 planes and pilots. Unless anyone else has any ideas... Quote
+Tailspin Posted May 6, 2008 Posted May 6, 2008 Make sure the pilot folders (bmp,lod, and ini) are in the general Aircraft folder and not the specific airplane folder itself. Quote
Fatman Posted May 8, 2008 Author Posted May 8, 2008 May 07, 2008 I am ready to pull my hair out. Following is the list of new things I have completed. 1. Removed all pilot folders from the aircraft folders and put in a new folder call Pilot folder. Still have the modern pilot in the WW2 aircraft. 2. Delete the old WOE 3. Did a fresh, fully patched install of WOE. You have guess it, modern pilot in the WW2 aircraft. Is there any way I can trouble shoot to find the bug, so that the WW2 aircraft have the correct pilot. Thanks Fatman Quote
+Tailspin Posted May 8, 2008 Posted May 8, 2008 All the components that make up the pilot model (.LOD, .bmp, .ini) go in the Aircraft folder. Thats each individual file, by itself. Putting them in a folder won't work. If you're doing this and all the file names match up correctly with the data.ini it should work. If it doesn't . Quote
+Spectre_USA Posted May 8, 2008 Posted May 8, 2008 Did you complete any of the nicely detailed steps shown above? From your listing of activities, it would seem not. The items you listed to have done will NOT get WW2 pilots in the aircraft. Quote
+Wrench Posted May 8, 2008 Posted May 8, 2008 Remeber, it's NOT the folder with the pilot bits, BUT THE INDIVIDUAL ITEMS THEMSELVES - BMP, LOD AND INI that goes into the Objects/Aircraft folder Look at the file structure AGAIN in the screenshot in allen's post -- you'll see how it's done Wrench kevin stein Quote
+allenjb42 Posted May 8, 2008 Posted May 8, 2008 Kev, I think it may be a good idea to put something about adding pilots in the KB. Feel free to use my screenshot if it'll help. Quote
Fatman Posted May 8, 2008 Author Posted May 8, 2008 May 08, 2008 Making process the RAF pilots were added with no problems by putting them in individual items - BMP,LOD,and INI into object/Aircraft Folder. When I added the USA and Japanese pilots for WW2, they come out all white with no color. Is there a solution to this problem? Thank You for all your help. Thanks Fatman Quote
+allenjb42 Posted May 8, 2008 Posted May 8, 2008 Is there any chance you could post a screenshot of your Objects\Aircraft folder? It might help. Quote
+Tailspin Posted May 9, 2008 Posted May 9, 2008 Sounds like you're missing the .bmp files for those pilots or the filenames don't match? Quote
Fatman Posted May 12, 2008 Author Posted May 12, 2008 May 11, 2008 At last did get the WW2 pilot in the WW2 aircraft. My problem using to many capital letters in the downloads. Below is an example Pilotww2JPnArmy.LOD ( Should have been ) = Pilotww2JpnArmy.LOD Thank You for all your help. Thanks Fatman Quote
