Hi Guys,

Just a little hint but there's a brand new 3d model for the F-4 underway, the MiG-19 project delayed me a bit but now I'll continue to work on this. 

Cheers,

Great! Thanks for the update!

[flightdok74]

How bout the Mig 19?.......

[S3231541]

It's already have public beta if you don't mind searching around before asking....

[Charlie_01]

Fantastic. Thank you. 

Sadly, though, I can't get the thing to show up in the game. (UP3&DBW1.7)

I put the subfile with the plane in the #DBW folder and the skins in the skin file but I can't find the plane anywhere.

I didn't edit the stationary ini. file (or any other file). Should that matter?

In the first post, I have included the entries for: air.ini, plane_ru.properties and weapons_ru.properties. You need to enter those entry to your #DBW\STD\Com\...\air.ini and #DBW\STD\i18n\ plane_ru.properties and weapons_ru.properties file. Just open them with notepad and copy, paste the entry.

Stationary entry are for when you want to have this aircraft as stationary only.

Good luck,
s3231541

Sorry S3, but in your opening post I can't see any entries for weapons_ru.properties. Would you please tell me where I could find them?

And I need a little more specification: in the F4 mod's .rar file there is another .rar file, so have I to leave it as .rar archive into the "_00_F-4 Phantom II v1.21 (14-03-12)" subfolder I've just extracted to #DBW folder or do I need to extract again it into that subfolder as sub-subfolder?

Hi,

Here's the air.ini and plane_ru.properties lines:

Air.ini

F-4D air.F_4D 2 NOINFO usa01 SUMMER
F-4E air.F_4E 2 NOINFO usa01 SUMMER

F-4D F-4D Phantom II, 1966
F-4E F-4E Phantom II, 1967
F-4J F-4J Phantom II, 1967

also: when unrar, there'll be another rar which the stupid me double the zipping process. In your mods folder there should not be any rar, only F-4 folder. Inside that F-4 folder you'll see a 3do folder and a bunch of classfile.

Also for skinner, note that the new 3d model will have a complete different mapping so old skin won't work on those. I am sincerely appology for this inconvenient, but I really have to do it because the old layout and moddel have been bugging me out.

Thank you for your understanding,

Ok, now I'm really confused!! ???

First issue:
in the post that I've previously quoted you said to edit THREE FILES: "air.ini", "planes_ru.properties" AND "weapons_ru.properties", as stated in your Opening Post, but there I've found entries related only to the first two files, not also to "weapons_ru.properties". And I've placed new lines in the middle of the list for both files: is it the correct place or maybe should I add to the end of the queue?

So, either did you mention the last one simply for a mistake or maybe do I really need to edit also the file "weapons_ru.properties"?
In this case which are the entries? Maybe should I take one of the entries related the first two others files? Which of them?

Second issue:
I unzipped the F-4 mod's archive, named "F-4 Phantom II v1.21 (14-03-12).rar" into my #DBW folder (is it correct?). Thus now I have got a mod folder named ...\IL-2 Sturmovik 1946\#DBW\_00_F-4 Phantom II v1.21 (14-03-12) that contains: 1) a subfolder named "00000_000_NoOpenCanopyAI" + 2) another .rar archive, named "_00_F-4 Phantom II v1.21 (14-03-12).rar", which contains one folder named simply "_00_F-4 Phantom II" (with no version number).     

Ok, you said any .rar should be in mods folder, so what have I to do now?
A) Unzip the "_00_F-4 Phantom II" folder into ...\IL-2 Sturmovik 1946\#DBW\_00_F-4 Phantom II v1.21 (14-03-12) beside the other subfolder "00000_000_NoOpenCanopyAI"?
B) Delete the present main F-4 mod folder "_00_F-4 Phantom II v1.21 (14-03-12)" and put both "_00_F-4 Phantom II" + "00000_000_NoOpenCanopyAI" folders directly under ...\IL-2 Sturmovik 1946\#DBW?
C) Unzip the rar archive, put the "00000_000_NoOpenCanopyAI" folder into the extracted folder "_00_F-4 Phantom II" and then put this one directly into ...\IL-2 Sturmovik 1946\#DBW?

Besides, according to these solutions, where should I put the F-4 flares mod too: into the F-4 mod folder or beside of that, both under #DBW folder?   
Would you please forgive me, but IL-2 mods' structure is very unfamiliar to me so I need a specific explaination to understand for what I have to do.
Thx in advance for any help.

there are no weapon_ru lines for this plane. regardless, lines to any _ru.properties files are always optional, as they only change how the plane or some of its loadouts appear as text in the game.

[Kazegami]

Yes, you can just as well enter "hello kitty" instead of "250 lb bomb" or "Mk 12 Nuke" It really is unimportant.

[S3231541]

Hi,

1/in your DBW should contain 2 folders: _00_F-4 Phantom II and 00000_000_NoOpenCanopyAI

2/only air.ini is important Plane_ru.properties and weapon_ru.properties is optional

3/Please read the instruction on how to install aircraft carefully to clear up any confusion: https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,1353.0.html

Thank you,

[Charlie_01]

Thx, that's just what I was looking for!!
And, yes, I read the tutorial, but I wasn't sure if the correct plane folder was the first or the second extracted... 
And I'm not yet sure about one thing (and it's impossible to me to check it now, because the sim is on my other dual-booting OS, so I'll test it ASAP and then will let you know).
In fact yesterday I've tested all possible combinations and I experienced CTD on game loading at 60% also having the two folders beside into my #DBW, if I'm not going wrong.
However I solved that issue by myself, putting 00000_000_NoOpenCanopyAI's content into _00_F-4 Phantom II merging the files with the others similar in the root directory of the mod. Unfortunately it was late in the night so I couldn't test if now it's possible to run an F-4 mission too: I'll do it asap and will report the outcome.
Cheers and thx again for support.     

C.

[Charlie_01]

Test done!
Really I've gone wrong: probably I've tested only with 00000_000_NoOpenCanopyAI placed INTO F-4's mod folder, not beside it, both under #DBW.
The really strange thing is, as I said, that the mod works well also with the 00000_000_NoOpenCanopyAI's files MERGED with the similar files into the root directory of the mod (this one correctly placed under #DBW directory)!!   
However is a great mod and I'm looking forward to have time to play it.
