Observer/Gunner replacement.

[Southside Bucky]

Hi guys.

 

I was wondering as to the possibility of replacing the observer/gunner that comes with the FE2b and BE2c for example, who, let's be honest, has a face only a mother could love,...with the rather handsome devil that comes with the RE8?

 

Can it be done?

 

Thanks in advance for any help given.

 

Regards.

 

Bucky

 

PS. Sorry, I tried posting pictures of both but without success.

Open up the plane_data.ini file you want to change the pilot for.

 

Look for this area:

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

 

[Pilot]

SystemType=PILOT_COCKPIT

PilotModelName=wwiPilotNew1 <------ name of the xxxx.bmp file you want it to use

PilotHeadNodeName=head

Position=0.000,-0.555,0.387

MinExtentPosition=-0.289,-0.769,-0.368

MaxExtentPosition= 0.296,-0.263, 0.495

 

Put the XXXXX.bmp file in the main aircraft folder (not the indiv plane folder).

 

I have a few I took from IL2 and added into the game and its cool on screen shots not seeing the same face every time.

I'm not 100% on this but i believe the gunners in those planes are part of the model.while it would be posible to change the texture the model itself would be a problem.

Thanks for your time fella's.

 

Firecage.

 

I've tried the Data.ini method, and it works OK for the pilot, but not for the Observer. Thanks anyway though.

 

 

Whiteknight.

 

I suspected that might be the case. Thanks for the confirmation. Oh, and thanks for the zombie advice too...Very handy!

Looks like I'm just gonna have to put up with him then...Still, he might be pug ugly, but his shooting 'aint too bad!

 

All the best.
