cpt.bhern Posted September 23, 2003 Posted September 23, 2003 Hello, I just joined, and I d/l the afterburner texture by Twig, and I am not sure how to install it. The readme says to put in the flightdata.cat and back up original. How do I open the .cat file? Do I need a special program or the sdk? Thanks for any help. Quote
dfang Posted September 23, 2003 Posted September 23, 2003 Hi cpt, D/l the SFP1E File Extract Util from here.Find the AFTERBURNER.TGA in Flight/Flight Data,extract it,the file will got to your Strike Fighter/Flight folder,go there and change the extracted AFTERBURNER.TGA file with the one you want.Back up the orig. dfang Quote
Guest Sony Tuckson Posted September 23, 2003 Posted September 23, 2003 >Dfang you love it complicated? kidding but why extract a file to overwrite it with another one? in this case, the only thing is to find the right folder to place the file in (you named it..) as for CAT files, only working one way, you can extract any file in there, but no recompile it just edit the desired files and place them in the right folder (depends from the files), game will use those Quote
dfang Posted September 23, 2003 Posted September 23, 2003 >Sony Tuckson You are correct,i was tryin to help the only way i knew how,based on the question.This sim has some quirkie little issues,a lot of which i don't understand,but putting that aside its nice to have some very experienced people like yourself to help us DOLTS along the way.... dfang Quote
