Well, title says it all, i think. 

I would like to remove Lightning F.6  gunsight  from its cockpit,  but - like every other thirdwire LOD  it cannot be extracted from *.cat file.     That means i can not  load it in lod viewer, and get mesh name. And without the name, i can't  disable  said mesh in the ini.

So,  was there any way found to get that data ?  I heard  that in ye olde days lod files  were not locked...

you can create 'aircraft'  (copy of any) with changes in *.ini file, example:

[LOD001]
Filename=A-7E_74.lod   change name to your desired cockpit, example: A-7E_pit.LOD
Distance=100.

launch game, exit game, launch LODviewer.

Ok, i did that, - copied the aircraft folder,   edited the ini,  and got very amusing floating cockpit instead of aircraft in game -  but  i still can not find the lod file to open with viewer.   Is it saved on some temp folder or something, or am i missing stretching else entirely ?

you do not need to find it. Lod viewer will do it for you.

Just open copied 'aircraft' and lod viewer will open arcraft as you have seen in game - cockpit. 

or use other solution.  Which is also good.

I checked, I have the lastest version 0.6.3
Game installed in a separate folder, as I run Win 10

I think had the similar problem at first.   Is your LOD viewer pointing at your game install dir?

If not,  go to extras>settings   ,  enable CAT file accses,    and point the viewer to your  install directory.
