Downwind66 Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 Been doing this for a long while, but never asked how to add a pilot figure to a freeware aircraft minus a pilot? Not a "make or break" thing to do, but just curious if there is a way to do it! Rick :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 IIRC pilots are in the model. Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downwind66 Posted November 28, 2022 Author Share Posted November 28, 2022 IIRC pilots are in the model. Thanks Charlie, got the part that says "in the model", but don't know what IIRC means!:rolleyes: Thanks for getting back to me, just the same!

CRJ_simpilot Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 IIRC pilots are in the model. It's an interesting one because I once years ago saw a YouTube video of a PMDG 737 with Condoleezza rice in the left seat. LOL! OOM errors? Read this.

Downwind66 Posted December 9, 2022 Author Share Posted December 9, 2022 Nothing against Condoleza Rice, but I'd just as soon have the empty left seat! That is too funny Aaron!:rolleyes: Rick :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRJ_simpilot Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 Yeah, it was funny for sure seeing her fat smile in the captain's seat. LOL! I'm not joking though. Someone actually stuck her snap in there. I don't know how they did it because the MDL (which is encrypted?) had to be edited. That's why I said it was interesting. OOM errors? Read this.

mrzippy Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 Some FSX aircraft have Pilots in the texture folder that you can paste any mug over. I have these in a 747 that I downloaded from here. They are usually in .dds format so I converted it to Jpeg. Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRJ_simpilot Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 Yeah, I've see that before. I just checked my FS2004 directory using my search program Everything.exe and would you believe I only have one dds file? The rest, some 240 thousand images are all bmps. I think this is because I mass changed all my images to bitmap using a utility I found here in the library. Meatwater something? I don't remember. Been years. And yeah, just checked the FS2004 PMDG folders in FS2004 for the 737-600/700 and there's no character bmp files that I can see through Windows viewing. I do use IrFanView to see other images that Windows can't. Perhaps one of the bmps is the pilot character, I just don't know which one that would be the editable one. Even then, that format is rendered somehow in Photoshop or Coral and I never mastered those programs. OOM errors? Read this.

Been years. I believe I was thinking of BMP2DXT3. But that can't be right since all my images are BMPs. I may have used BMP2DXT3 for FSX though. OOM errors? Read this.

ColR1948 Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 I have put my face on the pilot before today, but as Charlie said earlier the pilot is in the model, I once asked if I could add a co-pilot and was told the same sad to say.
