convert U.S.NAM Jet Pilots SF1 to SF2?

[slick cowboy 142]

I've just downloaded the U.S.NAM Jet Pilots from the SF1 download section. I was looking for some darker camo helmets that were used in Vietnam...

 

In SF2 there's also an ini file that goes with the rest of the pilot files, so i created one and inserted the filenames of the lod files. Still, the pilots appear completely black in the game.

 

Am doing something wrong?

 

Thanks!

 

ps: I tried colouring the standard white helmet pilot in photoshop, but... never mind

found it ... i renamed the files for practical reasons, but i guess the LOD files contain references to the originale file names...

so went back to the original naming... works like a charm now

only now i have a lot of extracting to do to update my pilots

each specific pilot lod references a specific texture name. they are easily changed via hex editirng
