Changing an aircraft from one country to another...

[FlyNate]

I'll just tell you guys what I want to do and you can tell me if it can or cannot be done. If so how do i do it?...

 

I want to make the German F-4E appear on the US aircraft list in the editor for use as an F-4 WW. I need the voice to be the usual American voice and all. The only thing left is the paint, but that's the easy part. I wAnt to use it in some Desert Storm and Cold War "what if"-type missions from the 80s to early 90s when the Hogs beautiful in camo paint...

 

The reason is, my SQDN will be hosting a joint multiplayer Desert Storm Anniversary mission in mid February (exact date to be announced very soon) and I wanted to add more realism. A-10C, FC3, Huey, and CA players will be invited to come together for a joint mission or two that will be based on Desert Storm events.

 

**...that is using what we have available to recreate the feel of Desert Storm, we know it won't be perfect, but we will make the best of what we have to work with :thumbup:

Look at the file db_countries.lua in scripts/database

The table for germany has this line:

cnt_unit( units.Planes.Plane, "F-4E");

 

Try adding this to the end of the table for USA.

Just remember you'll have to adjust it each time you repair / upgrade...

 

It'll work fine in the mission, but when you go back to edit it after an update it'll come up all eschew.
