    Chris.....

    ..... as I do not have that plane , this is only a guess.
    Have you started the engine yet ? IIRC, There are some aircraft around that will not show crew while engine off but , suddenly, are manned, opps ! “Crewed” when engine is started. Has to do with the modeling design. Try that. As I said, only a guess.

    Hi ChristopherT
    According to the readme you may need the RAF Pilot and Gunner

    You will also need the Pilot and rear gunner files from here
    Spitpak addon and Raf gunner from Martin Wright

    Cheers

    ChristopherT, what's wrong with the panel colors? They look pretty good to me. Are they appearing different off colors in the game?
    Cheers,

    The windshield is a little dark, lacks Transparecy? Maybe I'll try Windex on it?

    Hi ChristopherT
    The Buffalo probably has the pilot 'built in' to the model.
    The Wirraway does not seem to have this.
    The .dp files have the pilots and gunners as payloads.

    [PAYLOAD.0]
    ; Payload = Guns Only
    mount.8=raf_gunner, 1, 0
    mount.9=raf_pilot, 1, 0

    [PAYLOAD.1]
    ; Payload = Bombs Light
    mount.0=wep_pylon_us_cl, 1, 1
    mount.1=wep_pylon_us_cl, 1, 1
    mount.2=wep_us_250lb_gp, 1, -1
    mount.3=wep_us_250lb_gp, 1, -1
    mount.8=raf_gunner, 1, 0
    mount.9=raf_pilot, 1, 0

    [PAYLOAD.2]
    ; Payload = Bombs Full Load
    mount.0=wep_pylon_us_cl, 1, 1
    mount.1=wep_pylon_us_cl, 1, 1
    mount.2=wep_us_250lb_gp, 1, 3
    mount.3=wep_us_250lb_gp, 1, -1
    mount.4=wep_pylon_us_cl, 1, 1
    mount.5=wep_us_250lb_gp, 1, 7
    mount.6=wep_pylon_us_cl, 1, 1
    mount.7=wep_us_250lb_gp, 1, -1
    mount.8=raf_gunner, 1, 0
    mount.9=raf_pilot, 1, 0

    [PAYLOAD.3]
    ; Payload = Bombs Heavy No Gunner
    mount.0=wep_pylon_us_cl, 1, 1
    mount.1=wep_pylon_us_cl, 1, 1
    mount.2=wep_us_500lb_gp, 1, -1
    mount.3=wep_us_500lb_gp, 1, -1
    mount.9=raf_pilot, 1, 0

    That makes sense! How safe is adding pilots? I downloaded some pilots from here and installed them in the Aircraft folder!
    CFs3 uses a different system!

    Hi Christopher,

    As the Wirraway model utilises its crew as weapon payloads, you need to download crew which fall into that category. The BGL and texture files go in the SCENEDB/weapons/scenery & texture folders, while the DP files go in the OBJECTS_DP folder.

    You can try substituting various pilots by editing the Wirraway's DP file. William Dickens, for example, made Australian air crew wearing slouch hats. The only problem is the crew figures may be sitting too far forward or aft, too high or too low in their seats. This can be fixed by adjusting the numbers for the x, y and z axes of mounts 8 and 9, which are the two crew members.

    [HARDPOINTS]
    mount.0=2.03,-0.65,0.68
    mount.1=-2.07,-0.65,0.68
    mount.2=2.03,-0.65,0.68
    mount.3=-2.07,-0.66,0.68
    mount.4=-2.69,-0.55,0.61
    mount.5=-2.69,-0.55,0.61
    mount.6=2.67,-0.55,0.61
    mount.7=2.67,-0.55,0.61
    mount.8=0,0.21,-1.29
    mount.9=0,0.53,-0.65

    Good luck!
