Stock Aircraft loading screens

[+daddyairplanes 8,611]

soooo... i went and collected pics of all the stock birds to make a loading screen mod for the stock game.  went to load it up last night and nothing.  pics are in JPEG format,  and i tried running both A-4B_Loading.JPG and A-4B_Loading.JPEG.  but its a no show, just that F-4 with the George AFB codes. am currently running May 2013 patch.  any ideas?  non stock birds do just fine with loading screens in bitmap and jpg formats  sooo i'm slightly baffled.  also knocked out the jpeg screens for my USAF skinpack  so i suspect TKs hand in there somewhere. TIA for any help

Rename it in the ini to f.e.: SkyhawkB_loading.jpg

and save the loadingscreen as SkyhawkB_loading.jpg.

I made the experience that this works, but don´t ask me why. ;-)

ugh  was afraid of that.  was trying to keep the stock ish names so patching wouldnt affect it.

 

So you realize how many ini edits and renames that is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I always back up my whole mod folder. ;-)

Oh thats not the issue. Its just editing 100+ inis and renaming the same amount of pics. Oh well, another two weeks....

Yeah - I went through this times and times again already... But it's worth it!

it will be.  was hoping to release soon.  just got bumped to third in line rather than first in line for release.  will finish stock F-4B and J serials and ANG SLUFs first now....
