Wonderfull :) I've tryed to use the pilot of F-15 fmlaming cliff but this one is half buried in the ground. Can you help me with this? I'm using the BFVG code for crewman

 

 

-- GT - F-15 Pilot

GT = {};

GT_t.ws = 0;

set_recursive_metatable(GT, GT_t.generic_human)

set_recursive_metatable(GT.chassis, GT_t.CH_t.HUMAN);

GT.chassis.life = 10

 

GT.visual.shape = "pilot_f15_00.edm"

GT.visual.shape_dstr = "pilot_f15_00.edm"

 

--Burning after hit

GT.visual.fire_size = 0 --relative burning size

GT.visual.fire_pos = {1,1,1};

GT.visual.fire_time = 0 --burning time (seconds)

GT.time_agony = 180;

GT.mobile = true;

 

GT.Name = "F-15_Pilot"

GT.DisplayName = _("*F-15_Pilot")

GT.Rate = 1

 

GT.DetectionRange = 0;

GT.ThreatRange = 0;

GT.mapclasskey = "P0091000201";

GT.attribute = {wsType_Ground,wsType_Tank,wsType_Gun,wsType_GenericInfantry,"Infantry","CustomAimPoint",};

GT.category = "Infantry";

GT.Transportable = {size = 1}

 

add_surface_unit(GT)

 

I really don't know where is my problem :/

Currently Work In Progress. Animated Pilot you can place in the ME they will defend themselves too...

 

Amazing ... how did you get the MiG to be with no pilot? is it a static that later on you swap for a proper aircraft?

[SUNTSAG]

The mod is now live, please refer to the first post for a download link. Cheers.

The models you are trying to place have their axis through the center of the 3D model. it means when placed in game they will always appear half submerged in the ground.

 

The model I have chosen has its axis at the base of it's feet, which is the major difference. As soon as I figure out how to overcome this I will add all the pilot models to the mod.

I managed it using functions within the mission editor and I will make a video showing how it's done in my ME guide series. Cheers.

Thanks SUNTSAG. That will be possible to have other pilot because we can walk with them once ejected.

Thanks a lot. This was a long awaited possibility.:thumbup::thumbup:

Would be great for CSAR missions.

We just need a script that moved the human pilot that has ejected from an aircraft into this „infantry soldier slot“ once he reaches the ground :thumbup:

Silly question. After installing the mod and checking if it looks installed and active (and it does) how do you place the pilot on the ground? Is not listed in any category it seams.

Good question

And also how do you place an empty aircraft where yuo can later jump in and fly?

[zaelu]

What I thought. It must be something wrong with the files provided. Can you check if there is a difference between those and what you have?

[SUNTSAG]

Just downloaded my own mod via the link provided unzipped and placed in the the relevant folder and works a treat. Nothing wrong with the mod or files provided.

[SUNTSAG]

I neglected to ask are running Open Beta version?

[zaelu]

It works! I was stupid. I installed it in game folder. Apparently works only in user folder. I don't have much space on C drive... Windows October Update looming... etc.

Sorry about this.

 

One funny thing, when you take command of a pilot it falls to the ground like a drunk man :D

 

We need 1st person and a pistol! :D Then Spawn from a plane. :lol:

[Dingo_Bob]

It's a shame the ALT-J function for "Get In" and "Get Out" got removed / replaced for the "jump to" option years ago in the Flanker / Black Shark / A-10 days, used to be good to be able to get to of a plane on the ground and walk around to another and get in it.

[boedha68]

Well i have try this too after the fantastic deckcrew mod! :D

really great animation mod which I was desperately looking for (making a little video clip, a fighter pilot tells a story)

I'm a reasonable DCS pilot but unfortunately I'm not smart in programming the ME properly to get the pilot acting and running.

Any guess when your video guide will be available?

[Robert31178]

Man, it'd be VERY cool if someone could work this into Crybob's script as the ground marker for a downed pilot to use instead of a static grunt.

[SUNTSAG]

It works a treat as I have introduced it in my own adapted version of this script ????

[BaD CrC]

Yes, we did too with a custom CSAR script including this mod. It's awseome to see the pilot walking to your chopper.
