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

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?
