Help. Missing mig-19.

[Allo]

I never really used the Mig-19 befor. Then it got given to me in a campaign mission. I enjoyed flying it and wanted to pick it in single mission mode. But the problem was it wasn't there. So it lets me use it in a campaign but not in single mission mode. Any help or suggestions to fix my situation would be appreciated.

You must make it Flyable. For a quick fix add the bold line below to the MiG-19S text file...you use the A-4B cockpit. You can also use the F-100D cockpit.

 

[AircraftData]

AircraftFullName=MiG-17 Fresco-A

AircraftDataFile=MiG-17_data.ini

CockpitDataFile=A-4B_cockpit.ini

:

:

or CockpitDataFile=F-100D_cockpit.ini

 

Green panel and black panel Russian language versions of the A-4B cockpit for this very purpose are found in the CombatAce aircraft download section. Read the readme file after downloading and unzipping and follow directions. It works! :yes:

 

Much deeper cockpit file fixes allow you to see the MiG wings from inside the cockpit and other stuff like moving pilot face closer to instrument panel while keeping wide angle view (I use 120 degrees). But to start out with Making MiGs Flyable , use the basic A-4 or F-100 ideas above.

 

A MiG~19 pit may be coming ... can't find the link now... mmm

Oops. Double post.

Thanks for the reply Lexx.

The plane works. I use it in the campaign missions. Cockpit and all. It's just that it won't let me pick it in single missions. So I know that it works. Thanks anyway mate.

Just for you replying, I'd like to thankyou by doing a skin for you. Pick a plane and a skin and I'll do my best to do it, if you want. :yes:

Here is one I'm working on now.

Odd. Before I posted above, to Be Sure I would not mislead you, I added that A4B cockpit line to my MiG~19S file in a clean unPatched SF install, and it shows up as selectable in Single -> Create mission, and it dumps me into the MiG just fine, with A4B cockpit. We must work on this. My SF CD is fairly new, came in a jewel box, and was version 12-25-03 and lets me start Patching with Service Pack 3.

 

Hold off on the Skin until we work this out. I am fairly recent Newbie to all this, so somebody else here will probably Win that Skin. :yes:

[Lexx_Luthor]

*bump* Any luck?

 

 

also, just looking for a place to post this.

I almost did not see the airplane sitting there. I got this odd feeling in the pit of my stomach whenever the plane pops into view. Wierd.

[Allo]

Yeah mate. You solved the problem for me.

I have two installs. In one the Mig-19 is flyable which is why I could fly it in campaigns. In the other install I didn't have a cockpit for it. I took it for granted that I had the cockpit installed. But I read what you wrote and checked to make sure that there was a cockpit installed, and it wasn't. So you solved my problem.

Thanks again mate.

You WON the prize. Not for solving my problem but for trying to help me. Although you did both.

So what skin do you want.

Maybe...........

[Allo]

Pick a skin and I'll do my besy Lexx.

[Lexx_Luthor]

Awsum.

 

Well, I don't really need skins at this point, working on other things. But if you like, you can help another with a Question if they need it. Teamwork I guess can cover enough knowledge to find a solution better.

 

There is one "skin" that is bothering me...its Pasko's bubble nose addon to make MiG-17 into Pasko's MiG-17PFU. This is NOT an aircraft but is modded as a "weapon" addon to the nose!!! The radar nose is white, and have not found a way to make it SovieSilver like the rest of the plane--but then I have not spent time on it either (about 5 minutes tops). So its no problem now, but I am curious about this, and I have not asked Pasko about it. Don't worry about it unless you are interested in exploring the weird and the bizarre. btw....those early K-5 missiles and Pasko's radar mod are FUN because of the severe limitations of this primitive system. I am using Hard radar mode, so I need the cockpit light, but it works....kinda...and I bet the "kinda" is fairly realistic. The F-94B and F3D radar interceptors are really fun too, gunnery looking down into radar scope. F-94 found at http://home.earthlink.net/~pasko_patak/planes.html , I forgot where I found the F3D, probably COMBATACE.

Lexx,

I went through this problem with the Mig-17PFU awhile back,,i think it was missing a LOADOUT.ini file or something,,How many LOADOUT files do you have in your Mig-17PFU folder?

[+Wrench]

The radar hump should be green. I can't remember what the bmp is called; and I'm at work and don't have any SF stuff here.

 

There was a lod problem a while back. Can't remember what the fix was, but make sure you have the latest weapons pack. Also, search the weaponsdata ini for the PFU's radar goodie...that should help you see if you've got all the right parts

[dfang]

Thanks, I am off to work now but will try tonight.

[Lexx_Luthor]

Yesp that works. The LOD file was different (42kb) from the one I had (37kb) in weapons folder. I see Green now. Thanks.
