stingray77 Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 Not too long ago I was starting to "play" with additional pilots and put VF-111 and VF-161 pilots into my Vietnam NAVY-Phantoms... (I even was able to change the 111's basic shell's white to yellow color, which I think is more appropriate for that era.) What I stumbled over, is that the pilot's .bmp always show pilot's faces, whereas in the game the visor is always down. Is there a way (key) to open the visors? I couldn't find any hint in readmes... Thanks for your comments
+Soulfreak Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 (edited) In the usual way you only have it open or closed. like in here: http://combatace.com/files/file/6693-western-style-pilot-models/ The animation for the pilot is only used for moving the heat. Maybe it could be implemented, when the pilot itself is a part of the aircraft model (like in FS).... Edited March 16, 2011 by Soulfreak
+Wrench Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 we been 'opening' the visor for years ... (well, I have at least, since 2004. Meaning: adding the face to bmp) The visor cannot be opened or closed; you can only paint in the face. I've got several pilot figures with 'open' visors The face goes in the upper left corner, suitably sized to fit -- takes a little doing, but not too difficult wrench kevin stein
stingray77 Posted March 16, 2011 Author Posted March 16, 2011 Well, the face was/is already there (see attached .bmp) but in the game the face is covered by the visor...
+Soulfreak Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 That is caused by what Kevin wrote. The face goes in the upper left corner, suitably sized to fit -- takes a little doing, but not too difficult in your bitmap its black (vivior).
stingray77 Posted March 16, 2011 Author Posted March 16, 2011 Ah, so the face would need to be "repeated" in the upper left corner (where I have that black block)?
+Soulfreak Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 Yes right! Maybe there are some in the dl-section, then you#only need to copy-paste the face! ;-)
stingray77 Posted March 16, 2011 Author Posted March 16, 2011 Thanks, I will think about that.... But for now it's okay for me to know, that I did not miss anything there...
stingray77 Posted March 17, 2011 Author Posted March 17, 2011 Ah, thanks for the example..... Oh, btw: let me give you credits, because it was from your page, where I dl'd the VF-111 pilot!
+Wrench Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 iirc, the original skin was done by pappychksix (Pete Federico) I just did the hexediting to 'create' the 'new' lod wrench kevin stein
stingray77 Posted March 17, 2011 Author Posted March 17, 2011 (edited) Ah okay - so kudos to him.... Edited March 17, 2011 by stingray77
+Old Diego Posted March 19, 2011 Posted March 19, 2011 Well, you're both wrong. I made the original There is a way to remove the visor. Download my pilot pack and look for the one with a TGA for the visor. I am sure I included one or two without the visor.
Guest Tazkiller Posted March 19, 2011 Posted March 19, 2011 I love your pilots Diego!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Works of Art!!!!!!!!!!! Would you consider putting together a pack of them?
+Old Diego Posted March 20, 2011 Posted March 20, 2011 I have put one together. Its up for download here.
