    Ahhh, yes. Had the same problem long time ago. It's very easy to fix.

    Open "cockpit.ini"

    Find an instruments section and add two strings (Hide1 and Hide2). Should look like this:

    //Instrument[074]=cockpit_roll
    //Instrument[075]=cockpit_pitch

    /////////////////////////////////////////

    Instrument[066]=Hide1
    Instrument[067]=Hide2

     

    Then go to the bottom of the file and add two sections (Hide1 and Hide2):

    //[cockpit_pitch]
    //Type=CONTROL_STICK_PITCH
    //NodeName=main_panel
    //MovementType=ROTATION_X
    //Set[01].Position=5.0
    //Set[01].Value=-1.0
    //Set[02].Position=0.0
    //Set[02].Value=0.0
    //Set[03].Position=-5.0
    //Set[03].Value=1.0 
    /////////////////////////////////
    /////////////////////////////////

    [Hide1]
    Type=INACTIVE
    NodeName=new_panel-line backup

    [Hide2]
    Type=INACTIVE
    NodeName=new_panel-line copy 2

     

    Save and close. That's all.

    I added invisible skids to A-4.
    And succeeded Belly landing.
     

    Good job!  I'm working on 60-70s jets now and encountered some problems. Looks like these planes are too fast and heavy for my skids. Skyraider, Dragonfly, Bronco, B-52 etc is OK. But some supersonic planes (especially Phantom) is VERY difficult to land safely. When I tried to land a MiG-21, only 1 of 10 attempts was successful. I think that skids should be stregthened, but I don't know how. Maybe "MaxLoadFactor" is responsible for that?

     

    Anyway, this may be helpful for you:

    Does anybody interested in it?

    In short words - it's possible, but not easy.

    Every plane should be reworked and tested. Belly landing without an explosion can be reached by adding a skids under the plane. I already updated my own Korean War install and satisfied with the results. Bad thing is that my data files are heavilly modified and are not compatible with any other mods you can find here in Combatace. I will attach my data inis just to show how this method works.

     

    Data.7z

     

    Every plane have 4 invisible skids in "Landing Gears" section and every skid is attached to a part of the aircraft (fuselage or engine nacelle, for multi-engine aircraft) using proper SystemName[XXX]. B-29 have 12 skids - 4 under the fuselage and 8 under the engines to avoid the overturn. The "CollisionPoints" of some parts (fuselage, nose, tail, wings) should be checked too. Collision points cannot be lower than "contact points" of the skids or aircraft will explode while landing.

    That's all, guys. If someone interested in developing this feature - please share your thoughts.

     

    PS And many thanks to Do335 for his great Wings Over Korea megamod, mue for extremely useful tool and bunik for beta testing.

    What theme music does everyone use for KAW installs? Top Gun and Iron Eagle that I typically use don't cut it in this case!

    For now, the only theme I can associate with the Korean War is the theme from M*A*S*H, so that's what I will use until I figure out something more appropriate.

    I'm using theme from MASH and some Korean war era music.

    I found it here:
