+snapper 21 Posted March 3, 2024 Posted March 3, 2024 So if you start the game it updates the ini file. The only time I have seen what you get is when either Texture.ini is missing or the skin folder name has changed without running the game. Quote
+GKABS Posted March 3, 2024 Author Posted March 3, 2024 (edited) I am facing the same problem with a lot of airplanes. for example, take these two: that happens to other made models not only these also from defrant installed dericterys. Edited March 3, 2024 by GKABS Quote
+EricJ Posted March 3, 2024 Posted March 3, 2024 I had the same issue with my Super Hornets. Try the ini itself, not the LOD. I think that's what I did to see the textures myself. 2 Quote

+daddyairplanes Posted March 3, 2024 Posted March 3, 2024 so im confused, does it still stay blank if you dont start a new run of the game? i took snapper's advice to heart years ago, and any time i do a new skin folder or adjust an existing one or its textureset.ini, i fire the game up. it can be briefly, just long enough for the title screen to pop up. this updates everything without typing it in yourself (and risking typos) Quote

+daddyairplanes Posted March 3, 2024 Posted March 3, 2024 i knew that. my confusion was if you were or were not firing the game up, even if for a few seconds, between major skin changes (non imagery based) you could type it in the aircraft.ini, but the game will do it as well and that way you only have one thing to focus on not getting typos 1 Quote
+GKABS Posted March 3, 2024 Author Posted March 3, 2024 I see no I didn't start the game, I think I need to try that. Thanks Quote
+Sundowner Posted March 3, 2024 Posted March 3, 2024 For the skins to show by just clicking on the LOD you need to have the actual skin files "loose" in the same folder as the lod itself, not in a skins folder. Otherwise you have to go through the lod viewer but first you can either add the skin folder manually to the aircrafts main .ini or run the game to add it automatically. 2 Quote

Otherwise you have to go through the lod viewer but first you can either add the skin folder manually to the aircrafts main .ini or run the game to add it automatically. AFAIK it is like this: - You can open the aircraft main ini with LOD viewer, and that is the best way of making it display properly. - You can open the .lod model file, but then LOD viewer assumes there is a main ini file with the exact same name (before extension) and tries to open that. For example: When the lod file is named phantom.lod and the ini file is F4.ini, then LOD viewer will not find, read or use the F4.ini file, and it will not know about texture subfolders. 1 Quote

Yes, that is the problem I changed the LOD file to match the INI file name and it is working thanks. Quote
+Sundowner Posted March 7, 2024 Posted March 7, 2024 Are the crew too small ? or the model too big ? Something looks a little strange to me. 2 Quote
+yakarov79 Posted March 7, 2024 Posted March 7, 2024 Looks good. You are missing wingtip lights, and ALR-15 antenas on wingtips (early A model), front gear doors - those 3 lights should be evenly spaced along the side of the door (angle of attack indexer lights), There should be a small slot on the lower fuselage (left-hand side) between the engine exhaust and speed brake for AN/ALE-18 chaff dispenser 1 Quote

All measurements are correct except for the pilot and the Seats when not at the correct height and place. 53 minutes ago, yakarov79 said: Looks good.

I will update it. 8 Quote
Wrench Posted March 7, 2024 Posted March 7, 2024 WWWooo!!! I was wondering about the scaling too, from the screenies from yesturday. Looks much better now!** **because Hobbits don't fly Intruders 1 1 Quote
madvad Posted March 7, 2024 Posted March 7, 2024 Just now, GKABS said: All measurements are correct except for the pilot and the Seats when not at the correct height and place. Don´t forget that the navigator's position is a little lower and rearward in relation to the pilot 1 Quote
+EricJ Posted March 7, 2024 Posted March 7, 2024 Looks better GKABS. Will templates be available too? Quote
