Good evening everyone. I have a small issue that I can't wrap my head around. I recently moved my strike fighters install to my new PC, along with two other "cloned installs" for lack of a better term using on the israel and north atlantic launchers to host a WW2 Pacific and Europe mod respectively. I can load into the games and see the most content fine, however both installs refuse to see terrains other than the default SF2 ones. The pacific mod is supposed to have maps like "okinawa" and "centralpacific" but they don't appear ingame. I know the options.ini is pointing to the right directory, so why isn't this cooperating?

Hopefully anyone else who has this issue finds this topic useful!

Figured it out. Methinks the mod author reused an ini from another jet because it had two pilot sections but the plane is a single seater. Cut the other part of the pilot section and now the lines are gone!

Update: I was able to fix the issue with the C variants by editing the showfromcockpit value in the NOSE sections of the Data.ini as well as the fuselage sections. The F-104G (82) however remains bugged, so I'm still digging around.

Its weird that only those planes have that issue and only have that issue now when they used to work fine before. Also the only F-104 related file I see from you is related to another mod that I don't use and was posted in 2013, am I missing something?

I've narrowed it down to these planes. Top image is the F-104G (82), bottom image is an F-104C Da'nang but represents all of the C versions because they all do the same thing.

I bought the DLC then used the super mega pack mod. So far it seems like changing the showfromcockpit value is working but I have to double check because I think it didn't work on the F-104C (67) though I may have missed something.

Update: Seems to be only the C models and up, F-104A and B models have no double cockpit issues however C models and later will have either a bar across the middle or vague outlines floating around.

Long time since I last booted up SF2, but it still works (thankfully). However I'm getting double cockpits on F-104s to varying degrees across various models. Anyone got a quick and dirty fix for this issue? I saw on another topic about editing the INI but I haven't had this issue before and would prefer to not have to edit every single F-104 INI.

Noticed another thing, from what I can gather, when you make a "custom" skin directory, you have to fly with the custom skin set before LODViewer will see it. I know this is probably all old news to y'all though.

@mue I actually noticed that when I was fiddling around. Then I was able to view the F-4 above. Also made this! This is just a camo repaint of the F-100G mod because I thought a plane like this would be more suited for merc work. Progress!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't know how, but after downloading a skinpack for the F-4C, it LODViewer finally picked up my custom skin. It ain't much but it's something.

Progress gentlemen! Progress!

Oh, that makes sense then. How do you view them in LODViewer then? It doesn't like it when you try to just use the .ini, or maybe you just can't view them at all. I hate to ask so many questions but I just don't know man!

I do, I've used it once or twice for .ini editing, but not skin modding. Also it seems some .lods can't be extracted which is weird.
