Mike Dora Posted August 29, 2011 Posted August 29, 2011 This may be an old question (if so please forgive me for not searching through the current 203 pages in this forum), but how can I change the pilot pic when creating a pilot dossier? I always seem to get the same "default" pics, for example every time I create a British persona, I get the picture of a chap from a Scottish regiment wearing a Glengarry. As it happens I am a Scot, so perhaps OFF is even smarter than we give it credit for - but this kind of jars when my character is supposed to be in an RNAS sqn! Thanks Mike Quote
cptroyce Posted August 29, 2011 Posted August 29, 2011 Mike- Here's the folder routing to the pilot pictures folder..open country of choice and then click and drag photo you like to position one. C:\OBDSoftware\CFSWW1 Over Flanders Fields\campaigns\CampaignData\PilotPhotos\Britain Quote
+Olham Posted August 29, 2011 Posted August 29, 2011 (edited) Mike, the path cptroyce showed is correct (if your sim is installed there), but his method won't work that easily. You will have to give the pilot pics their new numbers by hand. Look into your ingame pilot log; there you see which No. the current pilot pic is. Now select a pic of your choice to replace it. Back the original pic up by adding "backup" behind the file name. (You can always reactivate the pic by deleting "backup" again). Then give your desired pic that number, and save it. Now you should be right. Edited August 29, 2011 by Olham Quote
Burning Beard Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 I've always wondered if there is a way to randomize that picture selection, or at the very least have it progress through the pictures one at a time and not always return to the first unused picture when making a new pilot. I tend to delete pilots after they "retire" so the picture is usually the same. Beard Quote
+Olham Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 You can change the numbers of all pilot photos, BurningBeard. You can have any photo you like, if you simply give it the number which you see under the photo in the pilot log. Quote
gaw Posted September 5, 2011 Posted September 5, 2011 Olham.....very cool....been wondering the same for a long time....good thread....I'm tired of the same old faces....doesn't bode well for my marriage....but there it is! Quote
gaw Posted September 5, 2011 Posted September 5, 2011 Ol.....as per Burning Beard's question....any way to progress thru the pix or randomize it at least? Something for the program competent I suspect (which doesn't include me)...but a fun thought....with each new "life" you have a new "face"...it'd add to the immersion for me....DEV's???? How bout HPW....his next add-on........New Pilot Pix!!!! I'd hit it in a second......... Quote
+Olham Posted September 5, 2011 Posted September 5, 2011 You can only change the numbers by hand so far, if you want a new face - as I described above. Quote
+Polovski Posted September 5, 2011 Posted September 5, 2011 I think its safe to mention you can choose the pilot photo in P4 :). Quote
gaw Posted September 5, 2011 Posted September 5, 2011 See......wish on a star................!!!!!! Quote

golden eagle Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 Is there a way to change the photos of your active pilot in BH&H? Can I put in my own photo? Quote
+Polovski Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 Yes see above posts 2 and 3. All you need is with your new picture make it the same resolution/size and format as the current ones in there, and give it the same name as the one used by your pilot. Backup the files in there somewhere safe first. Quote
golden eagle Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 Got it thanks! Do you happen to know the resolution needed? Is it a .jpg? Quote
tranquillo Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 I think its safe to mention you can choose the pilot photo in P4 :). Great. Does the face also age as you progress through the war or am I asking a little too much Quote
+Polovski Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 Got it thanks! Do you happen to know the resolution needed? Is it a .jpg? It's quicker for you to look than me to check the data but anyway I just opened my folder as described above and they are .BMP. 122x137 but they vary slightly. It will only take you seconds to look so have a go. Look in the folder and open one of the pics into a paint package and have a look, then resize yours and paste into it then save (after backing up current ones of course)/ Great. Does the face also age as you progress through the war or am I asking a little too much Yes and gets zits from shaving with a blunt razor and sunburnt from exposure. No only kiddin ;). Quote
Hauksbee Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 I think its safe to mention you can choose the pilot photo in P4 :). Another nugget of information slips out! Quote
+RAF_Louvert Posted January 7, 2012 Posted January 7, 2012 . I think its safe to mention you can choose the pilot photo in P4 :). Then I'm going with this one: It's one of my better shots. Really shows off my eyes. . Quote
+Olham Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 Ah, so you were the guy in High Noon, Lou ??? We got totally wrong credits for the German version then - confusion, confusion... Quote
