Mike Dora 171 Posted February 10, 2009 I'm currently enjoying tweaking FE until it is "just so", so I have another question for the more experienced modders. Which file should I edit, to get the correct pilot ranks for British aircrew? Right now the sim is showing modern (ie post-1919) RAF ranks such as "Flying Officer" etc, which is not right. Until 30 September 1919 the Service (yes, I served..) continued using Army ranks. So, which file should I (unpack and?) edit to insert the correct RFC/1918 RAF ranks? Thanks Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wrench 9,865 Posted February 10, 2009 had to go look for it... in the FlightData.cat, "RanksRAF.LST" that should be the one Wrench kevin stein Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike Dora 171 Posted February 10, 2009 had to go look for it... in the FlightData.cat, "RanksRAF.LST" that should be the one Wrench kevin stein Thanks Wrench, but - I just unpacked "FlightData.cat" in the "Flight" folder, and I can't find an "RanksRAF.LST" file. It seems to skip direct from "PARTICLESYSTEM.INI" to "REDCONE2.TGA". What am I missing? Am I looking in the right place? Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
