In 4.09, or other modacts, where you've manually added the F9F mod, i guess you should just take the files in the F9F2 Overhaul folder and overwrite the previous files contained in your original F9F folder. Let me know if the trick works

Tried the manual overwrite, no luck. Tried putting ! in front, still nothing. Tried overwriting several files at a time, this is what I get from the files in the red squares, the ones in the middle cause the plane not to show up:

Duffy, did you copy the 3do folder directly to the Panther 3do folder?

this is in 4.12

[duffys tavern]

Yep, tried that. It's listed on the FMB selection screen list but doesn't allow me to select it.
Tried copying the indivuial files directly into the F9F folder, same result. Copied all the files that seem to do with the pilot i.e. head, helmet hier, hmask, nnmask, jacket, pilot, seat, etc, they don't prevent me from using the a/c but don't make any visual difference. Strange. Maybe just one file getting in the way somewhere. It's a puzzle.

Duffy, have you got your Panther sorted? If not, I have an idea that might help.

Bravo, the F9F works fine in DBW & 4.12. However can't get Red_Fox's tweeks to work in 4.12. Any ideas?

[BravoFxTrt]

Yes, I tried on a clean SAS MA 5.11 and found out that I had to have the  F-86_Sabre_Cockpits  from JetWar 1.1 which made the Panther work then I placed a  #  in front of F9F2 Overhaul Folder like this   #F9F2_Overhaul  then it worked for me. You should give that a shot.

To make the panther work in a clean 5.11 mod act, you simply add the catapult related fix attached to the bottom of the very first panther post in the jets section.

This fix allowing it to run with out the carrier catapult mod. Then adjust the new canopy folder name as Bravo said to load the new canopy first.

[duffys tavern]

No still no soap. Installed the F-86 pits, everything still the same. The F9F flies fine but none of the tweeks that Red_Fox gives us. Placing "#" in front of Overhaul Folder I loose The F9F altogether. Running out of options here.

[Fresco23]

Dang....    it should work....works in mine, and you see Bravo's pics. I don't know.

If it were me Duffys... At this point, I would delete the panther altogether and try a clean download. Of course I am a "new" user of mods compared to some, so I would get a second opinion.  But I am flying the new canopy in 4.12 ModAct 5.11, and it looks great! (Well done RedFox!) Ive been hunting Lavockin 9s over "Korea".

P.S.: I did not need the F-86 pits for the Panther... only the aforementioned catapult fix at the bottom of this first post:

After this it loaded right up!

Hope you get it working!

Thank you Red Fox for this beautiful mod, the Panther now looks just, I dont know, really Panterish!! Just beautiful!

[BravoFxTrt]

Thanks Fresco, I tried it with just the fix and it worked for me too.
