Avia S-199 with WW2 pilot?

[Peeppu 207]

Hi,

 

how to replace the modern pilot in Avia S-199 for more realistic WW2 pilot?

 

I use SF2I with Exp.pack, I downloaded the Seuez crisis 1948-56 Mod and I have in my Avia S-199 this modern pilot.

The instruction for changing "pilot figures"  are the same for all the 3rd Wire game. One just needs the pilot figure, and the aircraft data ini

 

extract S-199_data ini from DLC 028 cat.

place data ini into S-199's MAIN folder in you SF2:I Objects/Aircraft mods folder

open data ini, scroll to this section...

SystemType=PILOT_COCKPIT

PilotModelName=  <--insert pilot name HERE

SetCockpitPosition=TRUE

Position=0.00,-0.86,0.70

SeatModelName=

SeatPosition=

MinExtentPosition=-0.25,-1.30,-0.41

MaxExtentPosition= 0.25,-0.29, 0.81

CanopyNodeName=canopy_frame_rear

CanopyAnimationID=10

HasArmor=TRUE

ArmorMaterial=STEEL

Armor[FRONT].Thickness=6

Armor[REAR].Thickness=6

Armor[bOTTOM].Thickness=6

change pilot name to whichever one you want.

Save and close

(important to be making sure one actually has the WW2 pilot required installed into the /Objects/Pilots sub-folder)

 

this should also already be available in the update kit I posted when DLC 28 came out. A search of the downloads will turn it up for those diligent enough to follow

 

There's also a pinned topic on the S-99/S-199 in the SF2 WW2 Forum

I remember being given the standard TK answer of "no time, no money" when I asked why we couldn't have a Third Wire Mustang era pilot.

You can find a lot of WW2 pilot mods in download section. I use the WW2 early in my Messer. Looks great.

as to the Mustang, in the late 40s, the (newly formed) USAF started going to the 'bone domes', so his stock pilot is almost correct.

 

Yes, indeed. there are shitloads of WW2 pilots all over the place
