A-10C ejected pilot skin

[BackboneOne]

has anyone found a way to edit\customize ejected pilot skin in current version for A-10C? i was looking for answer for years)) all custom pilot skins are turn back to default "eagle driver" skin after hog driver ejecting.

 

no jokes about "don't get hit\don't get ejected" please.

 

thank you

Yes, it's possible. I can't remember where the ejected texture is located or what it's called. It is different from the usual pilot texture, much simpler, and, if memory serves, uses a single arm mirrored on both sides so shoulder patches are out :-/

it is great to know, but without file name and path this information is useless :(

Yes

livery = {

{"pilot_F15_patch", 0 ,"f15_decol_empty",true};

 

sorry, but last question)) this line removes any patches from ejected pilot body. is there any way to just edit "pilot_f15_patch_65a_sqdn.tga" and leave it visible?

 

 

UPD: nevermind, i figure everything out) thank you all!

Guys I know this is an old post but I am in need of the ejected pilot skin for the f-18. Can someone help me find it. Thanks

[uscstaylor]

Guys

I got the pilots skin in cockpit in a tan suit, then he ejects in his acesII seat but turns green for 1-2 seconds then he turns tan again from my new skin. My question is this, what's the skins name of the pilot in the aces II seat once it ejects from cockpit please....Im almost finished this little mod.

its already been answered, whats the problem? i have managed to change ejected pilot skin to match it to "in-cockpit" model with this.

[BackboneOne]

for example, my customized skin's lua looks like this:

 

livery = {

{"A-10C_PAINT_1-a", 0 ,"a-10c_47th fs_1-a_152",true};

{"A-10C_PAINT_1-b", 0 ,"a-10c_47th fs_1-b",true};

{"A-10C_PAINT_1-c", 0 ,"A-10C_47th FS_1-c",true};

{"A-10C_PAINT_1-d", 0 ,"A-10C_47th FS_1-d",true};

{"A-10C_PAINT_1-e", 0 ,"A-10C_47th FS_1-e",true};

{"A-10C_PAINT_1-f", 0 ,"A-10C_47th FS_1-f",true};

{"A-10C_PAINT_1-g", 0 ,"A-10C_47th FS_1-g",true};

{"A-10C_PAINT_1-h", 0 ,"a-10c_47th fs_1-h_152",true};

{"A-10C_PAINT_1-i", 0 ,"A-10C_47th FS_1-i",true};

{"A-10C_PAINT_1-j", 0 ,"A-10C_47th FS_1-j",true};

{"A-10C_PAINT_1-k", 0 ,"A-10C_47th FS_1-k",true};

{"A-10C_PAINT_1-L", 0 ,"A-10C_47th FS_1-L",true};

{"A-10_Number", 0 ,"TactNumbers-USAF-Light_black",true};

{"A-10_Number_Noze_F", 0 ,"empty",true};

{"A-10_Number_Noze_T", 0 ,"TactNumbers-USAF-Light_black",true};

{"A-10_Number_Wheel", 0 ,"empty",true};

{"pilot_a10_body", 0 ,"A-10CPilot_47thFS_Backbone", true};

{"pilot_a10_helmet", 0 , "helmet_camo", true};

{"pilot_F15_patch", 0 ,"patches_47thFS",true};

{"pilot_F15_00_body", 0 ,"pilot_f15_00_a",true};

{"pilot_F15_00_helmet", 0 ,"helmet_camo",true}

 

}

countries = {"USA"}

 

and you need your customized pilot_F15_00_helmet and pilot_F15_00_body files to be in your bazar\temp textures as well.

Thanks for replying Bone I got it fixed I'm just trying to do the pilot patches now in the f1 view when your looking down at the pilot's body. I have created personal squadron patches but I cant seem to figure out how to make an alpha channel.

 

I took this file made in PSP

 

Then I made this in TGA 24 bit uncompressed, but there's no alpha channel....

Well after that last update to 155 and rolling it back to 1.5.4 Im having trouble with my pilot patches sitting in cockpit. Weird I cant get it to work....

 

If I replace the patch file with a fresh one it will load once then after that it goes back to the orginal f-15 pilot...Cant figure this out...anyone else have any ideas..
