Macklroy 2 Posted October 28, 2009 Hey guys, quick question for those smarter than I. How do I change the names of my sqn roster (and get them to stay! changed)? Instead of the names that are in there now, is there a way to edit them and have them be what you want? I thought I read in a post somewhere that you could edit the names. After some snooping around in the OFF folders I found some folders with german, british, and french campaign pilot names in a txt file. But even though I edited them and 'saved' the file, the names in the in game roster were still unchanged. Anywho, just thought i'd ask before the DiD campaign starts. I thought it would be cool to have Ruffus T. Firefly winging up with Sidney Williams, while W.L. Elder led the flight. S! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

S! when you create a pilot, leave BHAH and open this folder: D:\Programme\CFSWW1 Over Flanders Fields\campaigns\CampaignData\Pilots (might also be c drive, depends where you have installed BHAH) every new created pilot has a dossier file, named pilotxDossier. find the apropriate one and open it. it should look like below. the red marked lines show the names of your squadron mates. change it to the first and last names as you wish and save it. just don't overwrite the semicolons. only the names itself. when you now enter the campaign again you'll have the names you have typed in. i usually do it everytime to erase the kills of new AI pilots. i don't like to see new members with already 8 kills. 91 Britain RNAS-3 Flight Sub-Lieutenant Daniel Creaghorn 10 6 1916 12 50 72 10 6 1916 0 0 0 0 Null Null Null Null Null Null Null Null Null 0 0 C Sqn 1 Wing RNAS.bmp Fighter 0 0 In Service Flight Sub-Lieutenant Daniel Creaghorn joined C Sqn 1 Wing RNAS in the Spring of 1916.

Waldemar Kurtz 1 Posted October 29, 2009 that's a good idea-- I hadn't even thought of editing the kills of new AI pilot arrivals! I usually manually edit and replace the names when flying for the Lafayette Escadrille. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Macklroy 2 Posted October 30, 2009 Thanks CH. That made it simple. Got it all set up now. Next round on me boys Set up all the DiD campaign roster names now and RAS, or William C. Rasmussen I should say, is my trusted wingmate. S! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
