Title: USA ETO pilots [4.12]
Post by: Ranwers on July 07, 2022, 04:49:32 AM
New models of USA ETO pilots for some US planes.

(https://i.postimg.cc/QMdh9XLz/USAF.jpg)

You must have mod for big files - download =>https://www.mediafire.com/file/4hebawep70kkdxb/DLL-4096-2017.rar/file
Add in IL2 main folder. Make first copy the files

I recommend to add "head movement" class too (made by Barnesy) - download => https://www.mediafire.com/file/wy1y1r6sdof6oa5/%2521_Head_movement_4.12.rar/file (only for 4.12)

DOWNLOAD mod of ETO pilots =>https://www.mediafire.com/file/cp0hxfh8gpoqere/#+PILOTS+USA+ETO.rar/file

The mod affects default aircraft as well as those modified by Jerro and Barnesy. If a plane does not work, remove the directory from the planes folder. I recommend using this mod with the previous pilots packs.
Enjoy

Thank you, Ranwers.
Great job, for several stock planes which get no upgrade linked with 3D plane upgrade).
I hope my English clear (not sure  :) )
Hard, very hard to choose between yours and redux pilots.

I am sceptical about the remedy...   :-X
This will make the canopy disappear... and cause an error when opening/closing the canopy as it will no longer exist...
This is just my opinion...

Changes to the hier make the plane un-flyable. The mod only works in a few of the listed planes.
Title: Re: USA ETO pilots [4.12]
Post by: gunny0134 on July 09, 2022, 09:24:59 PM
MY method...!!!

My environment : 4.12.2m, BAT mod 4.0 Red Core

I don't know how to upload a file here.

So download 'AC_P-47D_PS' files from the aircraft category.

Copy 'Blister1_D0.msh(23kb)' from the plane part of 'P-47D-30(USA)' in folder 'AC_P-47D_PS'.

Just add this mesh file to the folder P-47D(USA) and P-47D-27(USA) in #Pilots USA ETO.

Then, maybe the problem will be solved... ;)

* This is the idea that was entirely inspired by dear Mick's hint.

At first, download 'P-47D Late Versions 30 and 40' aircraft file.

And unpack the zip file... ;)

Post by: Knochenlutscher on July 10, 2022, 07:02:57 AM
No, don't do it, Folks running BAT, if we suppose a Adapt Mod, we never use franken Fixing,
remming out or using a non recommended older Mod. Even if it works.
i.e. taking a Canopy from a Different Mod.

The P-47D-27 you all noticed is troublesome, let Modders do such hard fixing.
There's an issue, yes, but your way of Fixing is not good. Not even recommended, even if it works.

Remember if you use non BAT parts, you can break open Canopy function literally.

Stop it.

I ran into troubles at P-40s Warhawks too.

What you can all do is report post strange findings, or post Add-On Slots like Geofrey.
No weird fixing here. It can work on a slot or not.

The P-47 D27 is somewhat hard coded, the Hier.him is not adressed.
There's a reason for that, we'll find out.

Okay, I got it...!!

I stopped. My method is wrong.

I couldn't check the external view that there was a serious problem with the canopy.

I really apologize to all modders and users.

And I'll never explain my shoddy ways again here...!

Thank you very much... ;D
If someone doesn't solve the problem, my method will work for the time being "unless you open the canopy in the external view".
Therefore, I hope you are fans of BF109's.
Thank you again...  :)

Dear ssn637 !!

Thank you so much.

I have confirmed that P-47D and P-47D-27 are normal in BAT 4.0 with your position value.

Thank you again for your hard work... ;D

Well, I was crazy enough to try and change the ... 11 crew members of the B-24D 140 CO and put Ranwers ones instead ...  :P

I had to "cheat" and use the standing gunner from the Albacore, since there is no US standing gunner (or bomber, or radio guy)

And as for now, I still don't have a solution for the tail and belly gunners, as I couldn't find a gunner with the needed stance (sitting on his ass with folded legs) ...  :-X

... well, we have that French saying that goes :

"la nuit porte souvent conseil !" ("night often is a good adviser !")

So this morning I tried replacing the ugly cartoonish stock B-24D tail gunner with ... the SM81B belly gunner ...!  o_O

Yes, Stany, I dared do it ...!  8)

Everything went well, except the new Italian gunner was bending forward way too much ...  :-X

(https://i.postimg.cc/wBvq2NCM/Tail-gunner-B24-D.jpg) (https://postimg.cc/hXkRPXPR)

I was about to give up that silly idea, when my ass saviour, Epervier, came out of nowhere, and in less time it takes a French athlete to be eliminated from the Olympics, put the Italian gunner in the correct position ...!  8)

(https://i.postimg.cc/FFGSsbhC/10-01-2023-12-30-38.jpg) (https://postimg.cc/w3yMwmyD)

Well guys, I am quite aware that the B-24D crew is more and more "international", since it now has USAF, RAF, and Regia Aeronautica pilots/gunners, but who gives a shit ...?  :D

So if you don't care about the tail gunner being of Italian extraction, then here is the link ...  8)

Everything you need is inside the link, you need to replace the previous folders (B24 and Textures) with this one ...  ;)

Wondering if I could humbly request an adaptation of the b-24d crew to the J model, please? I’ve managed to port over most of the crew and am just struggling with the nose turret/bombardier positions right now. Many thanks to all for your efforts with these wonderful models. Cheers!

I think Barnesy's P-38s version is much better.

If you want to take Ranwers' pilot there (though you don't have to...), see first page.

yes of course, ....but it's just the version I'm trying to install, version taken from the first page of yours post the one that you just told me, but I can't install it on my version of BAT (4.1.2) , in fact I was wondering if someone else had been better than me and had managed to install it succerfully.

Ranwers' P-38 file on the first page can only replace the pilot of Barnesy's P-38s...of course, we'll have to revise that a lot, too.

In other words, it's completely different from the P-38s on BAT. For P-38s of BAT, we need to do separate work using Ranwers' file.

Can you use 'dump mode' ?? If you can, dump one P-38 model you want and put the file (ex: P-38***(USA)) in the 'Pilots USA ETO' folder of Ranwers.

After you do this, ask for an explanation again.

And I am not an English speaker. There are many difficulties in writing & reading English. Please understand this point first.

Of the four P-38 variants provided by Ranwers for the US ETO Pilots mod, I could only get the P-38H to work.  Loading the P-38J, L and M pilot mods resulted in a CTD in my BAT 4.2.2 installation.

Interestingly, I noted that the P-38T now includes Ranwer's ETO pilot, although there isn't any 3DO Plane folder associated with this aircraft.  So there must be some kind of link between the P-38H and T models.

The following P-38 variants have hier.him files located in their 3DO Planes folders:

Long time no see, ssn637 !!

I'm telling him(BIGREDONE) to use dump mode because it's the safest way to not have CTD due to Ranwers' pilot in each BAT version.

In fact, getting one Ranwers' pilot on a single-engine plane is very simple.

So I'd hope that the users operate Ranwers' pilot themselves as much as a single-engine plane.

Thank you !!
Title: Re: USA ETO pilots [4.12]
Post by: gunny0134 on October 27, 2023, 11:08:09 AM
And I'm using the FM_P38_Pack of Barnesy (I'm a user BAT 4.0).

So I worked with the hier.him of Barnesy. That is, putting Barnesy's hier.him in Ranwers' P-38s folder (in front of Ranwers' hier.him, '-' or '--' mark).

There is no reason for CTD to happen.

But I don't change the pilot of Barnesy to Ranwers' pilot as much as possible.

I just don't work because I'm lazy.

And isn't it good to have a lot of various pilots !!

Excellent !!

Your files are helpful for many people.

   - The pilot's position value of Ranwers for Barnesy's P-38s (I don't remember now if the P-38H, J, L, and M models are BAT Stock ver. I'm wondering if there are any users like me who use the P-38s of Barnesy, so I'm sharing this position value).

I recommend to try using the above position values.

Loulou's files may not work well depending on the version of the mod you use.

So, let's all learn "dump mode" for those occasions.

p38 pilot is combat ready with the file supplied by loulou  !!!!    ]sunny[


(https://i.postimg.cc/WbWFgDHH/p38pic.jpg) (https://postimages.org/)

However, for posterity, all versions of the Lightning have a common folder called P-38T(Multi1) containing only one file, hier. This file is different from all the other files in the p38 version folders. And it is this , in my opinion , that generated the CTD problem with the inclusion of pilots in all versions of the aircraft .

FOR BAT 4.1.2 the situational awarness is , then

P-38-H,E,F1,G5,G10,G15 VERSIONS ARE  P-38FGL(USA, Multi1) folders
P-38-J-10-LO,J-15-LO      VERSIONS ARE  P-38J_10_15(USA, OR Multi1) folders
P-38-J-25-LO,L-25-LO,L-5-LO  VERSIONS ARE  P-38L5J25(USA, OR Multi1) folders
J & L and Late VERSIONS ARE respectively P-38J(USA) and P-38L(USA)

Yeah. Of course, now you can replace it with Ranwers' pilot, but you'd better just keep Barnesy's pilot in order to get the pilot of various faces.

If you really want to switch to Ranwers' pilot, you can use the pilot's position value mentioned above...any time !!

Upload my P-38s BAT Stock ver for those who waiting for loulou's error to be solved.

Put the files in the 'Pilot USA ETO' folder of Ranwers.

Back up the existing files until you completely remove them because you like mine.

Tested only on 4.12.2m, BAT 4.0

Hello everyone
I think I need to explain a couple of things
I have uploaded the # PILOTS xx files as they appear in my #WAW3
They contain the aircraft files that were made, before my uploading  by all the excellent moders
These previous files don't need to be changed SO DO NOT DELETE OR ERASE THESE FILES IN YOUR OWN GAME FILE
the other aircraft files are the ones I wanted to modify to get better-looking pilots
to build them, I isolated these planes, using DUMP, I kept and modified the hier.him files, and apply only the elements concerning the appearance of the pilots
I have to admit that my method is more street cooking than great cooking! Even if I am french... 
but I could see that it matched rather well and that's why I invite you to improve my results, as Gunny did with the P-38s.
I hope you'll understand my approach better and that my work will be of some use.
Thank you

Congratulations on the successful deployment of the 3D pilot.

Now, please pay attention to the deployment of the basic equipment for the flight of the 3D pilot, such as a stick, panel, gunsite, and throttle etc.
  * However, It should be noted that there is a limit to the number of nodes in the hier.him of 1946.
It's filling the empty cockpit with those.
It's okay to be simple and not sophisticated.
Of course, some users may point out that it is a waste of the energy on a invisible areas.
But I think the plane's fuselage should suit it well in the 3D pilots.
So far, I've seen two users do this voluntarily.

  - 9078roman and BartheFr

I hope there will be more users doing this work in the future.

Thank you.

Gunny has most certainly taken flight controls from another aircraft and inserted them into the P-39.
Now thanks to loulou I have a working P-40E perhaps it could get a similar treatment.

Yes, it's all true.
I don't have any graphic skills to make something with my hands... ::(
It's all from another plane, or a cockpit folder.
The reason for putting the support is that there is it in the cockpit view of the P-39.
the cockpit is decorated to look as similar as possible to the cockpit view.
But mine is only meager compared to those of two users mentioned above... ::( ::(

One more thing...

If the plane you're working on is the one operated by Italian Air Force, I think it's better to have an Italian pilot on board.

But there probably isn't an Italian pilot who can hold the steering handle in both hands without eye-wearing goggles... :P ;D :D

PS: I think it would be good to put Italian pilot in (multi1).

A bit of history .....

After 8 September 1943 ,and also especially  eight or nine mounth after , when the USAF taken   
Italian Airforce bases on South Italy  , founds a situation awarness very badly , the flight pilots suit was Insubstantial, the personnel equipment of each pilot had been lost in the bombing of buildings. Therefore the USAF was forced not only to provide him with some of its airplanes but also the pilots' clothing (and to give them food to eat......). And that's it, so before you even fly the first mission as Coobeligerant AirForce.

The surviving airplanes of the Regia Aeronautica, few remained, were used until the spare parts were still available.

So the battered Italian flight clothing was definitively discarded


Only the formal uniform of daily service was retained.


But now my problem is importing into 3ds max and modifying the cockpit by converting the files to obj. then I tried converting from 3ds to mesh (MSH) and replacing the 3ds file with the same original name, but there is something that escapes me.... I would need someone to explain, step by step, the procedure to import and export (but without generic explanations, or refer to links of which you have to read hundreds of blog pages, I don't know if I explain myself)

Because at the end,  it would be a matter of a few simple steps, three or four at the most..... that all interested could learn, without having to learn the whole 3ds program


Regards  :)

You're doing a great job right now.

But I'm definitely not the one who can explain that... ::( ::( ::( ::( ::(

By the way, is a wheel-type stick more convenient than a bar-type stick for a long flight ?

Is it because the pilot can use his hands alternately ??

That's all




"Linebacker II" is the operation to that the P39 in which this small task force had  participated with eight efficient aircraft and , after the events of LINEBACKER II there were four surviving aircraft. By the end of 1973 there were none left....
Not a single P39 was lost in action, but dismantled due to cannibalization of spare parts.
No crew died, even the maintenance staff was evacuated in 1973 with the events we all know.

The P-39 crews  logged something like 80 STRIKE missions on Vietnam Trail bridges and SAM 6 listening RADAR stations during LINEBACKER II, after is not known.

Basically, there were 2 reasons: one is this

Many thank you, BIGREDONE.

Thanks to your 'left and right', my P-39 became more beautiful.

Of course, there was an obstruction when opening the canopy, but it is not considered a big problem.

Because if I need it, I can remove the right side any time.

There are 2 folders in the zip, one for the plane and one for the textures (if you need it) ...  ;)

Hi, Mick !

I know that this is not a plane on a prohibited site to here.
https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,66954.msg731957.html#msg731957

It's just that the download link is dead.

I'd appreciate it if Mick could upload the entire file of the plane.

Gunny, don't hesitate to modify it, and for example add the tail gunner if you can find a matching sitting gunner among Ranwers US pilots/gunners ...  ;)

Don't worry, Mick !!

Version 4.09 planes usually work well on BAT 4.0-4.1, 'B-26B-35' is also working well.
(https://i.postimg.cc/BbXMxWP7/2024-03-25-at-18-18-05.jpg) (https://postimg.cc/vxwrsNz5)

So far I've been using B-26B stock ver+ Gumpy's upgrade ver and I've only had RAF pilots on board in the (multi1) plane.
(https://i.postimg.cc/GpnLVdcY/2024-03-25-at-11-54-52.jpg) (https://postimg.cc/LJvFZdg6)

As you know the difficulty, I'm not going to attempt to put Ranwers' pilots on the (USA) plane.

Thank you for the file.

Hi, loulou !!

Probably spent a lot of your time because of the mask position.

This position value will be useful in the future.

By changing masks, they all look like US pilots... ;D

And wouldn't this be better visually ??

Hello everyone
Based on Mick's very good work on the B-26B_35, I continued on my way and completed as best I could the various crew members of the aircraft.
The result of my work focuses on the side gunner, the tail gunner and the dorsal turret gunner, using the nose character and assigning correctly placed masks to all of them.
I hope you enjoy this final work
