Pilot model fo F-16
-
Thanks for the routine Demo. When I tried the old method, it messed up some cockpit switches/lighting. Presumably this isn’t a problem now?
-
Well a simple quick way I think would be just to change the block 52 3dckpit.dat to use block 40, I think these three lines might do it, but could be wrong?, never tried.
try changing these 3 lines in block 52 3dckpit.dat: C:\Falcon BMS 4.33 U1\Data\Art\ckptart\F-16CM-52
cockpitmodel3 3;
cockpithudmodel 4;
cockpitcanopymodel 5;to this:
cockpitmodel3 3090;
cockpithudmodel 3091;
cockpitcanopymodel 3092;?
Yes that would work. I’ve done very similar stuff for the 8th VFW custom wing install.

So Guys
does this work in 4.33U1? If so can someone please post a link that works. I want the mod with the knee-board. Thanks so much -

+100;)

What is the code for the Block 42CM? I have the legs up and running for my Block 52+ beauty but I need them in the 40s as well.
-
Will the 3091 LOD code result in BOTH Block 40 and 42 functioning with the pilot model?
-
Bump for this Would love this in 4.33.1 so I can get kneeboards etc in the pit. I don’t have the physical space for real boards as the desk in my gaming room is tiny. I moved in with the girlfriend last year so space is minimal…
-
Bump back up.

I’ll have a crack at the pilot mod thing tomorrow, been a while.

What’s his name, Haz…?
Oh how I’ve missed your banter dude. I’m honoured that you come out of hiding to insult me

I consider it one of my life-goals.

I think what’s needed here is an LOD that contains just the legs… because all of the downloads I can find contain the legs and other cockpit components (HUD glass, switches, etc.) If one could have just the legs, it could be appended to any cockpitmodel2 LOD and be completely version independent. Does this sound right?
EDIT:
No, that’s not right. I wasn’t clear on what the “append model” function in LE does. It adds a model to the CT registry, rather than appending vertices/polys to an existing model as I suspected. Either way, I figured out that all F-16s except the AMs use a “cockpitmodel2” LOD and can therefore use the original legs-only model. Unfortunately, the AMs use a different setup of LODs and I couldn’t get them working. For them, I tried editing and replacing cockpithudmodel with 4.LOD as shown elsewhere in this thread, but couldn’t get it working. Maybe if I wasn’t trying to remove the legs using Edit LOD in LE, it would work? Not interested in a full body nor flying AM models anyway. Sorry. It would be possible to get all of these working in Balkans (and probably other theaters the same way) as well, but it would require changing the LODs in the 3dckpit.dat files for each aircraft… For some reason the Balkans theater guys felt it necessary to do each aircraft’s cockpit model differently?
To Install Pilot Legs for KTO in 4.33:
You will need any or all of these cockpitmodel2 CT#s:
For the 25/30/32/40/42/50/52/KF series jets:
• 2
• 3005
• 3089
• 3094For the A-15/B-15:
• 3005
• 3154For the IAF jets:
• 3128 (C/D 30)
• 3161 (D 40)
• 3143 (52+)
• 3154 (B)
• 3005 (A)Replace those CTs with onlylegs.lod by following these instructions:
Open LE and select the KoreaOBJ.HDR file from Data/Terrdata/objects, then:
• Next to the “Normal” button put in the new cockpitmodel2 CT# as listed above. (You’ll do this whole process for each number.)
• (Optional) Click “3-D Viewer” to confirm the model does not have the pilot legs
• Click the “Normal”
• Click the “1” button under the “Edit” button
• Click the “Select LOD” button and then OK
• Click the “Action” menu
• Click “Replace Model”
• Then select your “onlylegs.LOD” file
• Click “Go To,” then select CT Record to return to the start
• (Optional) Click 3-D Viewer to check that they were installed correctly. -
Actually an installer is what we need.
-
I don’t know how, so I’m trying to help in the way that I can.
-
Dang it, is someone able to make an installer for this? I would if I could.
-
could someone provide a download link for the legs only file?
Thanks

Following these instructions, I still don’t get legs with certain Blocks, in the Balkans theatre.
