Pilot model fo F-16

@RPG:
Why no simple one click installer for this like you have for Block 40 HUD?
Because ATM one-click installer removes all previous mods. And this one is too simple to install in LE
I did read the entire first post, but it doesnāt tell where to put legonly.lod and what to do with ā¦ even in lod editor ā¦ canāt really understand what to do with the legonly file !
Thanks anyway, Iāll try to do some test install ā¦Kalonji
Ok, youāre right, I didnāt write what to do with it. Sorry. Basically if you want only legs you can do two things. You can do a normal install and then follow Eagleās instructions from 1st post or you can download the normal installation but instead of loaded.lod use onlylegs.lod.
Hope that clears things out. -

Did you replace LOD #82 by mistake? The readme in BMS Pilot Model.7z refers to an old LOD number.
To find which LOD to replace in your install look at the cockpit Parent #2 , for my u3 install it is LOD# 7318.
After
Using LOD Editor- Open Parent Record #2 (type ā2ā next to the āNormalā button and then click it)
- Click the āEdit Modeā button 3 times to change to āView Modeā
- Click View ā1ā to make sure you are changing the right model.
- Close the viewer
- Click the āModeā button 3 times to change to āExport Modeā
- Export the original LOD 1 (#7318 ) so you can undo your change later if required.
- Click the āModeā button 3 times to change to āReplace Modeā
- Click Replace ā1ā to replace LOD 1 (#7318 ) with loaded.lod
- Change to āView Modeā and click 1 to see the new (#7318 ) model
- Close LOD Editor and test in game.
Your Parent#2 LOD# might be different as it depends on the BMS version or theater you wish to change.
That worked for me!! The txt file is porked!

I wanted to install this very useful mod (with knee-board), but I did not succeed though I followed the instructions. Is this related to the BMS version? I have installed the version 4.32 update 3. YT tutorial about installing this mod would be more useful, and there would be no dilemma.

More likely the theater you are flying.
For stock BMS Korea navigate Lod Editor 6.23 to āFalcon BMS 4.32\Data\Terrdata\objects\KoreaObj.HDRā and then check/replace the LOD for Parent 2.
Most theaters Balkans, IT-BMS, Panama, etc have their own DB so you need to replace the LOD in their data.
ie. To add the pilot model to Balkans, navigate Lod Editor to āFalcon BMS 4.32\Data\Add-On Balkans\Terrdata\objects\KoreaObj.HDRā and then check/replace the Parent 2 LOD (Add-On Balkans Parent #2 uses LOD #82 from the Balkans KoreaObj.LOD).
Edit: Remember to copy the 2 dds texture files for the theater ie. to āFalcon BMS 4.32\Data\Add-On Balkans\Terrdata\objects\KoreaObjā
The process is similar for the other add-in theaters but be sure to backup in case of incompatibility.

Thank you, I have been able to install the mod. The error was in the readme file - Installation guide says parent 1. And Create a backup of files (not folders) in:
<dir>\Falcon BMS\Data\Terrdata\objects!!! what files? All? that is 1.3GB! He also writes
Click on ānormalā, then ā1ā under āEditā
8. Click on āSelect LODā
9. Select LOD no. 82
If I do so in LOD fields appear n/a, means that guide is not good.Now I have a problem because of the pilot torso I canāt see left panels. Now Iāll have to try āonly legsā mode.
And now it means that for every terrain I need to install mod again? Will match the board data to airports in that area? And where to find the appropriate lod?</dir>

LOD Editor makes my eyes bleed.
-
Too bad there is no possibility that mod can also turn-on/off, because I see that in the keyboard list - there is command ALT+K, but it doesnāt work.
-
ALT+K was for the old kneebard 2D. No longer supported by BMS.

Does this mean that I have to edit the 8019.psd file, viz to insert a data (table) for airports from the terrain such as the Balkans?

Yes, customising the kneeboards is one of the reasons Harpoon included the 8019.psd file

Great, thank you!

Though I like the pilot in the cockpit very much (the empty standard cockpit scares me off: OMGā¦ā¦WHERE ARE MY LEGS???) I managed to screw my install the first time I tried to apply the files. So my question for the dev team: can this great mod be included in the next installer (maybe as an F4patch choice)?
- Btw, my question may have been asked and even answererd before: I havenāt read all 18 pages. -

Okay, thank you. I thought someone already did. If not Iāll do it when I installed the second terrain, and I will post here.
@Snail: And the same thing happened to me - first time, so I had to reinstall BMS. Next time, I made āāa backup. You need to make a backup only of the files that are in the X:\MicroProse\Falcon BMS 4.32\Data\Terrdata\objects:
bmsrack.dat

sp_hdr_lod_tex.txtAlthough I think that the most important KoreaObj.LOD. I installed āonly legsā lod.

It was completely my own fault: I have used LOD editor many times before, I thought I had the routine
-
just use my f4patch (http://www.gamefront.com/files/user/jspaetjens)

Bedankt

Could u please give some more info?
We have to use them if we have the corresponding theater only?
Itās for the pilot body - legs only?
