Dogfight aircraft selection
-
In the Dogfight menu option, is there any way to expand the selection of aircraft to include aircraft flyable in TE ?
If so, how ?? -
Right click on your plane and select your desired one IIRC

I think he means the full list for instance you can’t fly cft vipers in dogfight.
-
You can fly F-16 with CFTs in Dogfight
Select either the Israelian Stufa/Sufa (or how that double seater is called) or the F-16 bld. 52 + CFT
And if you right click on your plane (IIRC) then you’ll see the list of all planes which you can fly in dogfight
-
No?
-
F-16I Block 52+ Sufa IDF/AF is double seater with CFT
-
It doesn’t have CFT’s. Do you even check before you say this stuff?

He is correct….the real F-16I has CFTs and the last time I checked the BMS one does as well in dogfight mode…what are you getting?
-
Just checked - looks like it isnt wearing it’s CFTs

Right you are sir.
Say I wanted to fly a Skyraider against a Block 52 Viper.
How would I do that in Dogfight ?
I’ve played with the TE with mixed results. Was wondering if there was a mission file for Dogfight that I could modify to give me access to ALL the flyable acft.
Any/all hints: Welcome ! -
According to data, it’s not the CFT one.
Open the following files with Notepad:
Data\Art\dgft\play\DF_FLGHT
Find:
[ADDITEM] DF_AC_F16I52+IL C_TYPE_ITEM TXT_F16I52+IL MID_DF_TYPE
Replace with, or add below:
[ADDITEM] DF_AC_F16I52+CFTIL C_TYPE_ITEM TXT_F16I52+CFTIL MID_DF_TYPE
Data\Art\dgft\play\menus\fb_new, Data\Art\dgft\play\menus\flights, Data\Art\dgft\play\menus\tm_new
Find:
[ADDITEM] DF_AC_F16I52+IL C_TYPE_ITEM TXT_F16I52+IL MID_DF_F16
Replace with, or add below:
[ADDITEM] DF_AC_F16I52+CFTIL C_TYPE_ITEM TXT_F16I52+CFTIL MID_DF_F16
If you want to add another, variables for aircraft are in Data\Art\dgft\userids.id, Data\Art\main\textids.id and Data\Art\main\units.irc.
To do at your own risk ^^

Right on……I’ll give it a shot.
If I have to delete and re install, it’s on me.
THANKS ! -
Just backup those 4 files before you do any changes. Way easier than reinstall in case of screwing up.
Oh and btw, an aircraft needs its dogfight CT for this to work (in Editor: vehicles -> aircraft. Open one -> “Related Vehicles”, there should be 5 CT there)
EDIT: F-16I with CFT won’t work, it does not have its dedicated dogfight CTs. You can still add them yourself, just make 4 copy of CT 2406 (one for each modes - crimson/viper/shark/tiger), but then, you’re starting to modify db, not sure that’s a good idea for MP stability. I don’t think having 4 more CTs will break anything in that regard, as you don’t modify existing stuff, but you never know…

Okay….I’m totally lost.
What’s a CT ??
When I open it, I see one for the A-1H, not five.
I DO see five tabs, is this what I should be looking for.
If so, what do I do to them ??I followed the steps above and got the A-1E to show up in the selection list of acft to fly, but cannot select it.
There is an asterisk in front of it on the selection menu.
Does this have to do with my CT ignorance ?? -
Open up the editor and go to the class table tab. Sort by name and find the plane you want to add to dog fighting. There should be three identical records. One type airplane, one type squadron and one type flight. Right click on the type “Flight” record and add four copies. Open each copy and make the owner crimson for one copy, shark for one copy, viper for one and tiger for the last.
-
Got it. Thanks again !
Will advise.
Just figured my issue with the A-1E, it do not appear to be flyable.
SMH….trying the A-1H. -

You couldn’t be more wrong, it is the airplane you need to make copy of, not the unit.

Oops. Should have checked what I wrote before submitting it. Defiantly meant airplane not flight. Anyway, that’s the procedure I used for the 52+cft and it worked just fine.

No problem guys……thank you so much for sharing this rather nonstandard request with a noob !
Can I correct the extra ‘flights’ by deleting them ? Do I need to ?
I’ll try this with the extra "aiprlane’ and letcha know how it goes !
