Cockpit issues and other stuff

[amariani 4,876]

Hi, I’m having some problems with the Mirage Factory Kfir’s cockpits (C2, C7 & F-21) that I just installed. The thing is that the instrument panels show up white with some instruments missing. Any suggestions? The other thing is that the wing ordnance in the F4U-4B, F4U-7 & AU-1, also from TMF, don’t line up with their attachment point on the wings.

I'm assuming you're using SF2 series correct? Check in the Knowledge Base in how to fix that issue.

Really?? They're working for me!!! (see below)

 

The answer to your SF2 cockpit question can be found in the SF2 Knowledge Base; the fix will require having one or more of the Original Series games, and extract the necessary cockpit bmps or tgas

All suggestions will be welcomed!

 

As for the cockpit thing, this is what I'm getting:

 

 

How do you open the ObjectData.cat?

Use the catpack extrator - instructions in the SF2 knowledgebase

You can switch to standard HVARs if you haven't got the HVAR2 versions

 

another thing to do, is remove the Airbrakes sound statement, as the wingfold is keyed to the airbrakes switch. Sounds kinda funny with that sound.

 

------

see this thread in the Original Series KB, on how to use Skypat's Cat Extractor.

 

http://forum.combatace.com/topic/32706-using-skypats-cat-extraction-tool/

 

Since you're needing to extract bit from original series; for either original or SF2 series, Gerwin's works really well, but extracts the ENTIRE cat. If pulling bits from the original series cats, to use in NextGens, Skypats works best as you can pull JUST the file you want.

Hey Wrench, thanks for the advise. I had to chang the y-cord. on all wing stations from 2.049 to 4.2 to get a desent look.
