This Has Probably Been Asked Before...Hats.
 

Hi all,

Why do the AI pilots wear hats? (Latest Patch but not the newest ;))

I suspect that I will have to get my coat....:cool:

As you can change that for your own pilot, I suspect you can change that for the AI pilots as well and the default is set to "hats"...

More to the point, why are their heads so tiny? :confused:

Why are they all so fat?

Why do their heads appear to be on backwards?

Gents,

Where do I find the option for AI crew clothing?

I've had a rummage. No joy.

(References to coding, data migration and system architecture will fly right over my head...).

they wear the same that you choose for yourself, me thinks

Thanks for the response, but no.

The original CoD had all crew members with flight helmets. (No hats). But the system changed with the patches. Anyone else notice this?

RAF aircrew always wore leather flying helmets. ('B' Type issue in 1940).

try going to your soft club and editing in the user.ini file:

Thanks. I'll give it a go later.

One of the TF patches messed up this up,yes you can choose to wear a flight helmet but all Spitfire and Hurricane Ai pilots will still be wearing their parade peaked caps.

Yes it is daft,and yes I have asked on a couple of occasions for TF to put this right,but unfortunately I think it's regarded as 'low priority'.

So unfortunately if you take a nice screenshot of say 12 Spitfires,11 of the Ai pilots will be wearing nice peaked caps,bloody daft,I know!:rolleyes:

The post by Meaker suggest it won't help to edit the file, oh well 4.2 is coming

Not low priority and it is being looked at. Lot harder than just flicking a switch...but agree, it's a pain :(

Can you explain to me the mechanics of what is happening with the game, that reverts back any changes we make in the various config files(such as my example above)...is it Steam that does that, or is it security permissions to change a file, is being denied to us for some reason?...in the game itself, I know its not mod related, and naturally yes Steam cloud is turned off...another example: lets say I make Clouds 4 or Decals 3 but then something always reverts it back when the game is closed??

make sure your masking the changes in the ini files located in

C:\Users\xxxxx\Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover - MOD

and not

C:\Users\xxxxx\Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover

thank you! but I had already tried that...there seems to be some type of entity that guards against those types of changes

Must be on your end, check the files aren't set to read only.

OK, thanks again !
