This testing version of this mod makes Su30 F15E F18C F16A Tornado IDS L-39AZ and MiG31 somehow flyable for 1.2.4 version of the game... SO if you have other mods that do the same whatch out for overlappings... you should know what to look for and be careful then.





There are 2 lua files that needs to be edited in your "config\view" folder from your game folder:

Server.lua and SnapViewsDefault.lua

Use notepadd++ as it is safer and makes you see better what is what.

You just need to add the contents of those lua files (add to Server.lua and add to SnapViewsDefault) that are in the mod archive Config\Views folder to your files.

Is better if you add those lines yourself as maybe you have modifications of your own there.




Make copy of your orginal files just to be sure!!!!


There are 2 lua files that will be copied into your "Scripts\Aircrafts\_Common" folder: 


CustomHuman.lua
Pylons

Make copy of your originals just to be sure but note that what is modified in them are not affecting the original game. There are severeal lines there that just instruct the game to make Su30, F16C, F18C and F15E behave as F15C when they are manned by human. 


There is a Modified Su-30.lua files in Scripts/Database/PLanes. It fits Combatacemodel that has 12 pylons. Make backup of yours and don't use it if you don't have Combatace model.

Then...



Inside the "Mods" folder from your game directory will be added a folder named "X Control" This folder contains all the data for the mod except the cockpits. The cockpits are made by ED and are sold with FC3 so I am not sure if they can be redistrbuted so if you bought FC then you should have them.




Inside Mods\X Control\Cockpit\Resources\Model\Shape folder there are several text files that exemplifies the names. You need to copy the F15C cockpit edm file here and rename it with the names of those blank text files (all 3 but the names are not all correct now... WIP).

Original F15C cockpit model file is in: Mods\aircrafts\Flaming Cliffs\Cockpit\Resources\Model\Shape and is named: Cockpit_F-15C.EDM
Original Su-27s cockpit model file which can be found also in: Mods\aircrafts\Flaming Cliffs\Cockpit\Resources\Model\Shape and is named: Cockpit_SU-27.EDM
Original Su-25a cockpit model file which can be found also in: Mods\aircrafts\Flaming Cliffs\Cockpit\Resources\Model\Shape and is named: Cockpit_SU-25.EDM


Use F15C cockpit for F16A, F15E, F18C

Use Su-27s cockpit for Su30 

use Su25A cockpit for MiG31 and L-39AZ




Just follow the naming of the text files...






Same goes for Cockpit texture files... 


You need to copy the archive of F15C cockpit from: Mods\aircrafts\Flaming Cliffs\Cockpit\Resources\Model\Textures named: F-15C-CPT-TEXTURES.zip into the Mods\X Control\Cockpit\Resources\Model\Textures folder and name it after those blank text files... 

Just copy it multiple times with each plane names as those blank text files are

Then you may delete the blank text files.

Also... for Su30 use the Su27 cockpit texture archive named SU-27S-CPT-TEXTURES.zip and found besides the F15C one in Mods\aircrafts\Flaming Cliffs\Cockpit\Resources\Model\Textures

ETC





I am sure is more dificult to explain these then to be done so ont be afraid but be careful though. Make backup.
