Panama Red Requested Help cutting this out, and so i went looking for it. Since I cut it out, and it is relatively simple, here it is. Credit to the guys who made it for the UI. I think it was Veltro! (in fact, pretty sure of it!) I found variants or instances of this mod (or of the same plane) in HSFX3 and some other smaller pakages on the web. I cant seem to find out who slotted the plane though. S! to him.

Lines to add are:

I dont have the weapons Ru entries and you dont realy need it anyway.

Fixed a cockpitposition bug that was pointed out to me by Leszek, and affected installations based on HSFX or UP.

S!

After checking over at AAA, I found out how they "lowered" the cockpit for the Spitfires Vc (2). Since the Spitfire Vb Tropical is nothing more than the "rebadged" Vc (2) with the Vb flight model, all you have to do is "reverse engineer" the fix to make the AAA UI 1.2 Spitfire Vb work in the HSFX 4.0 mod.

This is what was originally said over at AAA about "lowering" the cockpit:

A while back, Veltro discovered that if you get the hier file of any given Vc, and locate the following lines:

[CF_D0]
Mesh CF_D0
Parent _ROOT_
Attaching 0 1 0 -1 0 0 0 0 1 0.0437 0 0

Then replace the above with the following from the 4-cannon version's Hier:

[CF_D0]
Mesh CF_D0
Parent _ROOT_
Attaching 0 1 0 -1 0 0 0 0 1 0.0437 0 0.44644

It will correct the too high cockpit of the 2-cannon versions. The same thing works for the recent Seafires. The spinner modification above already has this fix incorporated. All other cockpit fixes are then unnecessary.

What I did to fix it was REMOVE the ".44644" from the end of the number string and this brought the cockpit back up to the original height which made it perfect to work in the HSFX 4.0 mod.

Hey Cirx,

            Firstly and most importantly congratulations on the success and quality you(collectively) are maintaining here at SAS.
I very much appreciate the measured and controlled approach to what you are doing, and all the efforts at coordination with the other sites. Bravo.

Re the Spit VB Trop, if it is not too dumb a question, why can the Weapons.ru file for this AC not be included. I ask simply because in my anal retentiveness, I go through all my additions and try to systematize my entries even down to the presentation : things like capitals in all the same places for all entries, unifying the description of same weapon types so that they always read the same etc.
It just makes for a quicker read when choosing aircraft.

I tried adding the Weapons.ru myself for the VB Trop, but I get duplicate entries for the inherent ones, which now don't match with my other entries. Is there a simple fix for this, or am I just wasting my time and yours?

sincerely

Kopfdorfer

Because of patch 4.10.1 I had to use this edit to raise the cockpit of Spit VB-T and all modded versions of VC.  I replaced 0.44644 with -0.05 (instead of 0.0).

Vb/Trop for 4.12 Users facing trouble with the "Haussegen" over conflicts with stock VC Pits.

This is not a Bummer nor to completely replace CirX work, but a respective rework to kick
it in a working stage. It's his and all others work, I just recompiled and fixed some issues.

A simple scratch re-built Spit VB/Trop, now given her own Pit to stop
mess with stock/modded VC Pits.
CirXs msh used respectively, addding, fixing Hook problems
with zip_comic1 values from Aboukirs.
