Eng tips with RU cockpit

[bart86pl]

Hello PC pilots! Is it possible to have the MiG-21 cockpit in russian but the mouse cursor tooltips in english?

Sorry if I`m missing something obvious.. :doh:

It's possible. You have to edit localizer.lua (with notepad++ or similar) in MiG folder. I'll write more details once I'm back from work.

Good to know its possible. Thank you very much, any help is mostly appreciated. :thumbup:

Before editing any files, adjust game options: cockpit language - English, special MiG-21 options - custom cockpit livery "ticked". That should give You result You're after (works on my PC), but some folks say it might not. Try and see what happens.

Your method works fine, but it (quite obvious:)) also changes Su-25T and Su-27 HUD language to english.

 

To change the language of just MiG-21 tooltips:

in \DCS World\Mods\aircraft\MIG-21BIS\Cockpit edit Hint_localizer.lua (with notepad ++!). In line nr 5 change "RU" to "EN" so that line nr 4, 5 and 6 will look like this:

 

if LockOn_Options.cockpit_language == "russian" then

country = "EN"

end

AFAIK you don't need to edit anything. I switched to the russian cockpit a couple of weeks ago and never touched the Hint_localizer.lua. My tooltips are still in english.

Oh, I see, I don't own/fly these so I didn't think of that. Thanks for the tip.

Thank you all for advices. Editing the lua file did the trick - big thanks Corvus.

Unfortunately:

 

I switched to the russian cockpit a couple of weeks ago and never touched the Hint_localizer.lua. My tooltips are still in english.

 

Did not worked for me. Even after reinstalling the MiG module. Now - it should work like that right? Just like with Kamov and Mi-8.

I hope it will get fixed in the future - this MiG is my all time fav.

hmm yes it does works but it also turns Ka-50 cockpit to english. I prefer to edit mig`s lua for now. Hope it will get patched.

Thanks for the tip, Corvus!

I was actually wondering if something like this would be possible. Editing the .lua file worked straight away!
