Hi RF13. Really like the Kuznetsov textures. Thanks for sharing your work. Question, the A35 / A37 numbers on the aircraft texture. Is it possible to remove them as realistically they are not found on the Kuz? Thanks again

stunning! you've created some very realistic skins and ground textures match very nice real european land. are you interested in detailing some f-16 skins for my mod? if yes, i'll send you my templates.ty

RF13, I noticed the Su-33 posing for the GRE2 and GRE4 skins had R-77s equipped. How was this accomplished? I am looking for a way to make the Su-33 my ultimate multirole fighter in single player. Having the ability to equip R-77s would be just perfect.

 

Is there a mod you could direct me to? Would it be possible to do this by manually editing LUA files?

 

 

By the way, I absolutely love your missile pack, they look incredible on my plane!

Oh drat, that appears to only work with FC1, I only have FC2. Thanks anyway!

 

I would appreciate it if anyone could tell me whether or not this is possible in FC2 1.2.1.

There is one. It is a little complicated to use, and I am having a hard time finding it with the forums earch function sorry.

I always have hard times with forum searches. I appreciate your effort in trying to find it for me, please let me know if you do.

 

EDIT: I have discovered a way! I do not wish to hijack RF13's thread any further, so if anyone is interested just shoot me a PM.

Very well,

 

Yes my way is manual. I looked in Scripts>Database>db_weapons.lua and found the codes that are used for all the weapons in mission files and rearm.lua located in Scripts>Aircraft>_Common. I was able to change the first rearm option from the ground crew to include four R-27ETs and four R-77s by replacing the LauncherCLSID code with the respective CLSID code found in db_weapons.

 

However, I wasn't able to change the dialog list so I have to remember what weapons I set for which payload.

 

There are two lines of code for each weapon in db_weapons.lua, or at least for the air to air weapons. I used the first line's CLSID.

 

You can edit mission payloads this way by opening the .miz file with WinRAR and then opening 'mission' with Notepad++, searching for the desired aircraft in the mission, and placing the desired CLSID code for your weapon on the desired pylon.

 

A very desirable skill for 'fantasy' mission makers like myself. :)

 

 

Now that's how I discovered how to do it, but that tool could make things a lot easier. First however I have to know if it will add/remove or rename any files in the FC2 directory. Modman HATES it when I make any unauthorized changes in those regards.

 

Edit: after testing that tool I have found that it can be used with my modman configuration. Unfortunately it looks like it can't add disabled weapons like I can in my above method. It can however rename the rearm options, so perhaps it will be useful to me after all. :)

 

Thank you again.

hello,

great stuff from RF13:thumbup: thanks so much!!!

a couple of questions :

i use FC2

skins installed with modman7

they don't apear in game is there some files to rewrite, some slot to create for new skins like you had to do in FC1?

for the runway and parking mod i used the big multifiles from lockonfiles, the one recomended for FC2.

it was not clear at all about wich files you could use at the same time.

i decided to use all the NAVY runways and parking.

they are great but it seams that areas between runways still fixed with the winter season texture even if you are flying sumer.

thanks for your help.

RICARDO,

 

Unfortunately, I don't have FC2 so I don't know about some issues.

I found out that ED removed an important runway file and this will make my runway mod incomplete in FC2 (in fact, it will completely KILL the runway design... once WPP_DARK.BMP is the most important file of the runway design and now, in FC2, it's simply a TGA file responsible for skid marks). Check this topic here and images below:

"it was not clear at all about wich files you could use at the same time"

I made 13 versions, three different types:

"A(ABCD)" = air force

"N(ABCDE)" = navy

"X(ABCD)" = thresholds correct position in all airfields

(remembering that the above info has no effect in FC2, because of the removed WPP_DARK.BMP)

 

Parking areas A (asphalt) and B (concrete) are commons (work for all airfields).

Parking area Novorossiysk 1A, 1B and Saki are airfields specific. Designed for screenshots/videos purposes.

Thanks.
