Changing F-35B Default Skin

[Mike Dora]

I have a question for USAFMTL, creator of the excellent F-35 set (or anyone else who can help.. )

 

I've been tinkering with the F-35B to create an RAF skin (after all it's the eventual Harrier replacement, and even though it's years since I retired, I remain very partial to my old Service). Trouble is, even when I set the F-35.ini file "skin" parameters to choose the RAF skin first (see extract below), I keep getting the USMC version coming up as the default. While the system allows me to then select the RAF skin, that's not actually what I want.

 

[TextureSet001]

Directory=RAF

Name=RAF

Nation=RAF

Specular=0.150000

Glossiness=0.025000

Reflection=0.000000

 

[TextureSet002]

Directory=USMCGrey1

Name=Prototype

Nation=USMC

Specular=0.150000

Glossiness=0.025000

Reflection=0.000000

 

And yes, I have the RAF skin in the "RAF" folder, and have checked that the F-35B.ini and the corresponding RAF/TextureSet parameters do match. Any advice please? This is the first time I have encountered this snag in all my SFP tinkering.

 

Thanks

Remove the USMC skin. Start the sim, it will default to the RAF skin. Then exit the sim and add the USMC one back. You should be set.

 

I am not the creator. That was Klavs81 and FastCargo. I was just on the team.

Actually, look at the data.ini. I believe the country it belongs to is the USMC. That may be the issue why you're not getting the RAF skin as a default.

Thanks guys,

 

Used both those steps, now it works fine.
