MacGalin Posted August 22, 2021 Posted August 22, 2021 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... Quote
+yakarov79 Posted August 22, 2021 Posted August 22, 2021 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. Quote
MacGalin Posted August 22, 2021 Author Posted August 22, 2021 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 ? Quote
+pvince Posted August 22, 2021 Posted August 22, 2021 Not even needed to launch the game. Fill the attached file with the cockpit name you need (Filename=XYZ_cockpit.LOD) and open in LODviewer Visu_cockpit.INI 1 Quote
MacGalin Posted August 22, 2021 Author Posted August 22, 2021 (edited) It worked Thanks for helping me ! Edited August 22, 2021 by MacGalin Quote

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. 1 Quote

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. Edited August 22, 2021 by MacGalin Quote
+Cliff7600 Posted August 22, 2021 Posted August 22, 2021 Still no joy CAT file access is enable. I have pointed to the "Strike Fighter 2" folder and the "Objects" folder and none worked. Quote
