F/A-18 ver1.02 flyable uninstallation

[shackman]

I downloaded from Lockonfiles.com F/A-18 flyable ver1.02 and installed it. But I forgot to back up the Su33 files so now every SU-33 is an F-18 with too many missiles. I thought deleting the textures would do it but apparently not. Is there a way to bring back the SU-33? I tried uninstall reinstall (didn't work) also tried adding FC didn't is she gone forever?

Did you clean any remnants from the registry? If not you will probably have this problem. Don't go into the registry if you have never been in it or know what to look for. If you have a friend you can get a copy of his su-33 files if not modded go into bazar/shapes folder and paste them in. That should get your su-33 back. Look at the f-18 su-33 files and mark them down. It is quite possible not all files were rewritten. You just have to replace the ones that the f-18 mod wrote. If you used Modman all you had to do was just uninstall the f-18 mod and all would have been ok. Hope this helps.Cheers.

I did try MOdMan I installed the F-18 then uninstalled it but that didn't work. And sad to say i don't have a friend who has Lock on. So i guess I'll have to deal with it. Plus like you said I've never been in the registry. Are there any other ways or should i just stick with what i got?

Do you think if I went to lockonfiles.com and downloaded a new SU-33 then it would overwrite the F-18 model?

 

This isn't as easy as FSX or FS2004 is it?

 

 

If all else fails I'd like to thank you for your help rattler, thanks! ;-)

bazar/world/shapes/Su-33.lom remove this file from this folder (The .lom file, not the .cmd file). That should bring back the Su-33 model. For the weapons loadout, u need to get the original meinit file (if you already havent).

I did what you said OldCrow I went into bazar/world/shapes then deleted Su-33.lom and it didn't work sad to say it still appears a white F-18 with too many missiles. Howver there are more than 1 Su-33.lom file in that folder should I delete them all?

From Vanilla lockon, there should only be a su33.cmd and a su33-COLLISION.lom in the bazar/world/shapes. If there are more lom files called su-33, you can try and remove them, but take a backup just in case. If you cant solve your problem then either, I could send you the original su-33.cmd if you want to, not sure if im allowed though:D

Why not, sounds like a good idea to me. He bought the game, this is just helping with a problem due to a mod. A clean Meinit.xml file would be a good idea too. F18 could still be attached to the su-33. Just a thought. Would like to see us get him back to where he was. Modman should have taken all files out. I have done it hundreds of times. There is always that one time though. I learned to back up really quick, ha ha. cheer bro.

If you could send me the files that'd be sweet! Along with some instructions on how to install them?

[rattler]

If I come across the virgin files, I will send them. My files are highly modded. I may have an old disc before I change a lot of things. I will have a look for you. cheers.:)
