jonezee Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 I'm a long time fan of Falcon 4.0 and Red Viper, but recently began playing Black Shark. I love it. The terrain is amazing and so is the modeling. The question I have is about flying other helicopters. I know there's a module coming in the future to allow the Apache to be flown, but isn't there a shortcut? In Falcon, only the F-16 is flyable until you make a quick hack. You simply remove a single file from the main folder and every plane is suddenly flyable. The F-16 cockpit stays the same, but you can still fly other jets. Is there a similar hack that could be used for Black Shark? An edit that could be made to allow all the helicopters to be flown, but with the Black Shark pit?

leafer Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 There was a mod for flying non flyable aircraft for Flanker 2. Don't think there is one for BS. ED have been taking my money since 1995. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't personally tried it myself, but it should be possible to just replace the 3D model of the KA-50 with some other model, like the Apache or whatever. This was already done in previous Black Shark movies by "Supervasya".

fox_111 Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 That would really put some fresh thing to try in the game! I'd love to play as other factions with their gear just for kick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonezee Posted July 15, 2009 Author Share Posted July 15, 2009 Great idea. How would I change the 3d model? which folder is it in? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorrin Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 ....\Eagle Dynamics\Ka-50\Bazar\World\Shapes That's where the LOM files are, but make sure you create a backup before you tinker with anything in there, else you may find yourself having to reinstall... Simply copy and paste the one you want to use, for example AH-64A, and rename it to the relevant KA-50. There are however, 14 LOM files associated with the AH-64A so you will have to do some trial and error to see which ones you need to save (probably all of them...) At least, in theory... Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feuerfalke Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 But you will only change the model, not the cockpit, not the physics, not the avionics, not the weapons. Just the optics and that is probably mostly a change when in outside view. So it's not like in RedViper or similar mods, where you e.g. have the weaponry and flight-characteristics of the A-10, when flying it, even if you still have the F-16 cockpit.
