File Name: SF2 TopGun F-14 Pilots: Maverick/Goose, Viper/Jester & Iceman/Slider! File Submitter: viper63a File Submitted: 02 July 2015 File Category: Pilot Mods SF2 TopGun F-14 Pilots: Maverick/Goose, Viper/Jester & Iceman/Slider! By Viper 07/03/2015 TopGun Pilots flies again in StrikeFighters 2!!!! Yep...nuff said. This mod will not update any existing SF2 files, but I recommend that you back up your mod folder (...\Objects\Pilots). There are 2 steps to this install...(Three counting backing up!) 1) Copy the contents of the "To_Mod_Folder" to your target mod folder. My StrikeFighter2 mod on Win97 64-bit was, but yours my be different... C:\Users\<your_id>\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 NorthAtlantic\ * It will ask to overwrite, go ahead and overwrite. This mod should not change anything you already have installed - unless you, by some chance named something with the same names as I did. Hence the back up recommendation. NOTE: You should be able to install these pilots in SF2 game for most, if not all, jets. It doesn't have to be an F-14 or StrikeFighters2 NorthAtlantic. Have Mav and Goose fly and F-111?!! Enjoy! 2) Locate and update the "data.ini" file of the jet you want these pilots installed in. In my example, I will update the "F-14A_82_DATA.INI" file located in...(again, your location may be different)... C:\Users\<your_id>\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 NorthAtlantic\Objects\Aircraft\F-14A_82 * In my example, I am updating the "F-14A_82_DATA.INI" file. In the target jet's folder, locate the "*DATA.INI" file. Edit the file in a text editor (Notepad) and "Find" the "Crew" section in the "*DATA.INI" file. In this section, there should be a [Pilot] and [CoPilot] (if the plane has a copilot. F-14's do) sub-section. * Look for the "PilotModelName=..." entry and update it with Maverick and Goose's info (it's the name of the folders and ini files you copied into ...\Objects\Pilots in Step 1). NOTE: All pilots and copilots in your flight for this plane will get this change...So if you have a wingman, Mav and Goose will show up there too...Sorry, this can't be helped... All available Pilots... TG_Maverick TG_Goose TG_Viper TG_Jester TG_Iceman TG_Slider Example...Installing Mavrick and Goose into the "F-14A_82_DATA.INI" file... // Crew --------------------------------------------------------- [Pilot] SystemType=PILOT_COCKPIT // Updated Maverick as the Pilot PilotModelName=TG_Maverick Position=0.0,4.99,1.46 SeatModelName=seat_F-15 SeatPosition=0.00,4.94,0.87 MinExtentPosition=-0.25, 4.52, 0.32 MaxExtentPosition= 0.25, 5.53, 1.54 CanopyNodeName=canopy_frame_outer CanopyAnimationID=10 HasArmor=TRUE ArmorMaterial=STEEL Armor .Thickness=12 Armor .Thickness=12 Armor[REAR].Thickness=12 Armor[bOTTOM].Thickness=12 [CoPilot] SystemType=PILOT_COCKPIT // Updated Goose as the CoPilot PilotModelName=TG_Goose Position=0.00,3.59,1.52 SeatModelName=seat_F-15 SeatPosition=0.0,3.54,0.93 MinExtentPosition=-0.25, 2.98, 0.32 MaxExtentPosition= 0.25, 3.99, 1.54 HasArmor=TRUE ArmorMaterial=STEEL Armor .Thickness=12 Armor .Thickness=12 Armor[REAR].Thickness=12 Armor[bOTTOM].Thickness=12 --------------------------------------------------------- * Save the data file and Maverick and Goose FLYS AGAIN!!!
