then it's got to be something the F14avionics.dll (or whatever it's called). you should ( or perhaps maybe being the operative word) be able to find those lines necessary in the various avionics and cockpit inis, and what I'd do, is extract and copy the necessary bmp or tga into the A-6 /cockpit folder and hope for the best

did you run the modified gun through the gun editor? 1st Gens require that

Have you downloaded the appropriate new(er) Russian weapons, via a weapons pak or individually? Have you added the new(er) Soviet weapons via the weapons editor??? They won't won't show up until that's been done even at the 08 patch level

it's more than likely, that it may be a "max issue" (meaning: it was built that way in 3ds Max) have you looked at the cockpit lod in Mue's Lod Viewer? (both A-6 and F-14). I'm not sure if you can have multiple "moving" nodes without it having been build that way. might have to start searching the higher number cats, or ?? to find the "cockpit data ini". I wonder if the node descriptions might be listed in there. But, overall, I'm sure you can't use any of the F-14 stuff on the (what is essentially) a 2005-ish cockpit lod (A-6)

bmps don't have alpha channels. it's just a plain 24 bit bmp

If it's (still) like SF1, the pilot's ini goes where all the other pilot files (lod, bmp, etc) are, iirc.... /Objects/Aircraft as just loose files

the link to the F-104 download might be of some assistance....

what allen said and make sure the /Terrains folder is IN the mods folder

SAC, 1950s

I wish I could release the Clunk! It still needs quite a bit of LOD refining and skin work (like serials and such!!) I'm keeping YOU in mind, Frenchie, when help is needed

that 37 is most definately from a P-39 -- that's how their magazines were in that weird circular shape

and you're not running into problems with The Wall, expecially in the Baltic?? -- Required Screenie --

wasn't that the point of the excercise? to remove the 'external' canopy framing of the aircraft's lod?? well, then, you need to start running down individual node names of the framing in the cockpit lod, and remove them in the cockpit.ini. Or, just don't look up Just out of curiosity, which Hind it?

well, one must first know the node name in the _data ini, try this: in the main component listings, for example... ]Fueselage[ ShowFromCockpit=FALSE (or if NOSE, same thing)

me wants!!

Moved to proper forum

then, you aren't looking hard enough. I've found plenty of resources on Japanese weapons. Unfortunately, I never bookmarked the sites. I do, however, have a FM on their "Explosive Ordanance" In truth, neither the IJA or IJN had a large selection. The naval guns were more "dual purpose" like the US or RN (including the 18 inchers) The ground forces really did have a rather limited number of weapons.

that would be my thoughts as well, somehow pivioting the entirety of the aircraft (possibly via thrust vectoring?). It seems a bit far to go though.

on the colored tails Ponies, lower the serial number decal about 0.05 (or at most, 0.10). That should center it in the "square"

I like it! For Florian's Orion?

remember, that doesn't exist in 1stGen games, only SF2

probably not, as the thrust line is straight-through the centerlilne. There's no way to make a "tailsitter" out of it. Been tried for long time. You might be able to make "fake" landing gear, holding the aircraft at an angle, but takeoff and landings will still be probelematic. In 2010 I did a bunch of rezamping, but don't remember what my final results were. Have to find, it, and go back and see. I know for certain, it would need complete remapping, as it really doesn't have a skin (per se).

might want to ammend you credits, as the original F-86A skins, with 99.9% accurate serials (as are ALL my KAW Sabre skins) Even the E and F models, those are all mine too. unless, of course, you wasted all sorts of time reinventing the wheel... all these have been available for several in my KAW Sabre Packs
