well, Mick, i wish i could find the conflict, mate - but so far, no joy.
let me use the D-14 Proto as an example, as it's the one i posted a pic of here, so it's easy reference.
please point out any faults in my logic that you see....
firstly, i guessed that the D-14 Proto uses the D-14 cockpit, that makes enough sense to me.
however, the issues i have mean that i need to look at the Plane folder, and not the Cockpit folder.
so, i narrowed that down to two possible options - it's either using the Fw190D_Latetail or the Fw-190D-11(Beta) Plane folder.
so, for anything to be conflicting, it also needs to be using one of those two Plane folders. correct?
on initial investigation in my Mods folder, i immediately found some possible suspects:
Fw-190D-11(Beta) Plane folder was being used by the following mods:
#Mod Wheels V5
412 Stock fix Cowling Engines and prop
vp_damage_layers v1.4
of these, only the Stock Cowling Engines and Prop mod might possibly be interfering, so i disabled it.
the D_14 Proto remains unchanged. there are NO other instances of this folder being used in my Mods folder.
okay, well maybe it's using the Plane folder Fw190D_Latetail ..... let's try that....
the only other mods in my folder that touch on that folder are..... oh. none.
right, so that's where i'm at. with no other instances of this plane being referenced anywhere in my Mods folder, what am i to do?
in other words, to my thinking, the problem MUST lie in the original plane folder that shipped with this mod...
i mean, what else could it be?
i have made use of Barnesy redux pilot in some planes, such as P-40, Hurricane, Spitfire, but not with any German planes, so i fail to see a conflict.
the situation is similar for all the other FW's that have issues.
i keep being told there must be a conflict, and i agree. but there simply IS NO conflict that i can find.
so......stuck. go straight to jail. do not pass go. do not collect $200 ...
