Mig-17F, doesn't show skin and a twisted cockpit, I just see a pair of external tanks nothing else....how can I solve it?

 

WOE-Europe at War Mod.

 

I have the same problem and i seem to be overlooking the way towards a solution.

 

Any hints?

lod in catfile, so that's not it.

 

 

 

MiG-17F.ini::

[LOD001]

Filename=MiG-17F.lod

Distance= whatever to taste

 

Make sure you have the ".lod" on the end, and correct [lod00N] numbers, and ordered distances.

 

twisty~pit => cockpit.ini ViewAngle maybe. Try 0,0,0 if not already.

 

If I recall, 08 make view go BOOM BOOM

 

Beyond that, describe the situation carab you are having in like max detail.

I'll try things out in a while but here's the problem...

 

The Mig17F not only does not show up at all except for the drop tanks,if you jump into the cockpit for a flight the initial view and the gunsight is is skewed to 9 o'clock.

That's usually the result of the LODs being mismatched in the ini file.

 

Alter the MiG-17 ini file, commenting out all but the top line LOD file (and increase the viewing distance).

 

See if that works.

Ok, will give it a go when i get back from work.

Here's what i had to do to solve the problem...

 

I tried all kinds of discarding and copying but nothing seemed to work until i ran across an older WOE install that i have stashed in an external HD. I simply replaced the buggy 17F folder with a copy of the stock model from the old game. Tested it in single mission and it was just fine and so i got Ace Pilot a quick campaign flight to take a look and the MIGs are there.

 

Everythings go!

 

Damn glad i prefer to hold on the older stuff rather than just dump it.
