How to make copilot visible in A-6 cockpits?

Recommended Posts

I just get so lonely flying that thing.

 

I studied the F-111 pit, but I can't quite figure out everything I need to do.

 

BTW, getting the RAZBAM F-102 gave me a nice little pilot model.

It's in the A-6_data.ini file. Make sure that the Co-pilot has "SeatID=2" listed under the [Copilot] section.

I have this:

[Nose]
ParentComponentName=Fuselage
ModelNodeName=fuselage_front
ShowFromCockpit=FALSE
DamageRating=DESTROYED
MassFraction=0.240
HasAeroCoefficients=FALSE
MinExtentPosition=-1.18,-2.41,-1.26
MaxExtentPosition= 1.18, 4.15, 1.33
CollisionPoint[001]= 0.00, 7.29,-0.86
CollisionPoint[002]= 0.00, 8.08,-0.09
CollisionPoint[003]= 0.00, 5.23, 1.08
CollisionPoint[004]= 0.55, 3.17,-0.76
CollisionPoint[005]=-0.55, 3.17,-0.76
SystemName[001]=Pilot
SystemName[002]=CoPilot
SystemName[003]=NoseGear

 

and down here I added it:

 

[Pilot]

SystemType=PILOT_COCKPIT

PilotModelName=PilotN1

Position=-0.35,1.15,0.85

SeatModelName=seat_f-4

SeatPosition=-0.35,1.15,0.48

MinExtentPosition=-0.85, 0.49,-0.35

MaxExtentPosition= 0.00, 1.81, 0.91

CanopyNodeName=Canopy

CanopyAnimationID=3

 

[CoPilot]

SystemType=PILOT_COCKPIT

//PilotModelName=PilotN2

PilotModelName=F-102 pilot

Position=0.35,1.14,0.80

SeatModelName=seat_f-4

SeatPosition=0.35,1.15,0.52

MinExtentPosition= 0.00, 0.49,-0.35

MaxExtentPosition= 0.85, 1.81, 0.91

CanopyNodeName=Canopy

CanopyAnimationID=3

SeatID=2

 

still not showing up in internal view

See what happens if you also add "SeatID=1" to the [Pilot] section too.

That is for external model,and not for the cockpit...u need look in the cockpit ini,or maybe he is added via fakepilot..as I think the co-pilot you see sat next to you will be a part of the 3d model.

The question is, wheter the cockpit is placed at the correct position. Check the data in the A-6A_data.ini and the cockpit.ini and compare it.

Thanks. I did get it to work, but I might abandon this effort as the Hi-res F-102 pilot is either sunken into the seat in internal view, or poking his head thru the canopy in external view, and the stock pilot is too low-res for the RAZBAM pit.

I haven't been able to get it to work with the RAZBAM cockpit because the RAZBAM cockpit uses textures for the surrounding cockpit as well as the dash. When you enable the B/N using the code above, it shows off the B/N as part of the default object, and doesn't mesh well with surrounding textures.

 

It works just fine with the original A-6A cockpit from WoV.
