WNC Posted November 26, 2017 Posted November 26, 2017 I need to mod my P-51D cockpit by removing the canopy so it is a basically a convertible! Reason,,,, I have a home made physical cockpit with a physical canopy so it looks like %$#& to see a 2nd canopy on my monitor! Don't want to use the arcade view because it removes the Prop spinning which takes away from immersion!!!!! Someone did a mod on an IL2 F4U corsair for me years ago so I know it can be done! Just don't know how to reach the person to ask him how he did it, it's been so long ago. He basically removed/erased the portion of the bmp texures to make them go away. I know how to access and unzip...... DCS World\Mods\aircraft\P-51D\cockpit\Textures\P-51D-CPT-TEXTURES I can access these bmp files, locate and cut out the parts I don't want to see, re-compress them and place them back. But in game instead of them being gone they are black! Are these bmp files the only files that are needed to accomplish what I am trying to do? What am I missing here? Any advise, or steering me in the right direction is much appreciated! This mod is so cool and a must for pit builders! :helpsmilie:
WNC Posted November 27, 2017 Author Posted November 27, 2017 more info Looks like the main game P-51D texture files folder path is ..... DCS World\Bazar\World\Textures I edited\cut out a portion of the cockpit texture their from "P51D_DIF_Cockpit" file and re-zipped. Then flight would not execute, it went to another (default) plane. :helpsmilie:
