PLAAF FIGHTERS

[koushiro]

Maybe its just me but adding planes for a campaign should'nt be a royal pain in the ass.

I mostly mean the Chinese air force jets J-5,Q-5s etc etc.

 

See like most of my posts this week its been about Scrapper's Dragon campaign pitting

China and Taiwan against each other.

 

All the western aircraft are easy to find and i have them loaded!

no problems there!

Now lets get the problem!

the PLAAF aircraft.

Some are missing

some have Skins that don't match the skin in the campaign INI.

And some are they typos???

 

one thing i notice is the fighters like the J-7 series fighter from 101tfs

have no Readmes i don't know what to do with these aircraft

are they added to another they don't have cockpits and they are missing alot of

internal files.

 

So what are they i can't figure it out?

can i replace the fighters in the campaign ini

with the China J-7III-A from kelvin?

 

Why do so many of the PLAAF fighters seem incomplete

And where all of them if they are requried for a game.

 

please someone help this is getting to be a very large headache.

Looking at TheDragon1.ini There are no player flyable PLAAF squadrons - so cockpits are not really an issue unless you want to fly the PLAAF planes in single missions.

 

For the J-7 look for a Mig-21 cockpit in the downloads section and use that

 

You will find there arnt that many cockpits about because they are difficult and time consuming to make - so in some cases you will need to make do with what you can get - unless you make your own!

 

The PLAAF planes will be installed just like the others you have done so already - as for readmes you will have to make do with searching old threads and the Knowledgebase for the info you need. Although it would be nice - making detailed documentation is not a requirement so in some cases it hasnt been done.

Sometimes i amaze myself
