bart86pl Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 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: [sIGPIC]http://forums.eagle.ru/signaturepics/sigpic73792_1.gif [/sIGPIC]
Corvus Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 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. My YT channel https://www.youtube.com/user/corvuscorp81
bart86pl Posted March 6, 2015 Author Posted March 6, 2015 Good to know its possible. Thank you very much, any help is mostly appreciated. :thumbup: [sIGPIC]http://forums.eagle.ru/signaturepics/sigpic73792_1.gif [/sIGPIC]
Art-J Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 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. i7 9700K @ stock speed, single GTX1070, 32 gigs of RAM, TH Warthog, MFG Crosswind, Win10.

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 My YT channel https://www.youtube.com/user/corvuscorp81
Derbysieger Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 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.

bart86pl Posted March 6, 2015 Author Posted March 6, 2015 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.

bart86pl Posted March 6, 2015 Author Posted March 6, 2015 (edited) language to english ** it should work (check custom livery and set lang to EN). If not try to repair 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.

Capt_Haddock Posted March 7, 2015 Posted March 7, 2015 Thanks for the tip, Corvus! I was actually wondering if something like this would be possible. Editing the .lua file worked straight away!
