just a quick view to show what i removed to manipulate a mesh in order to remove certain 3d data

once i deleted certain data (changed with empty chars) it deleted & removed parts of the mesh.
im just trying to show you here in the picture what i did to remove

i used a simple hex editor to do this & im sure using a hex editor it may well be possible to even change the shape of the mesh

Thanks.
How You know what lines removed ?

jolly changing the shape of it, would it just be like hawk's stretching of the nose and the rudder on the mkXIV?

[Slow]

That's stretching meshes in the plane itself. This is changing the shape of a mesh.

through process of elimination.
Once you know where the 3d data is located you can remove any part you want.
for example i could have removed just the nose cone or i could have removed just one of the blades & left the nose cone intact if i wanted to.

Mr. Jolly this is very interesting, can you remove component file names from the mesh file so that they are not calling for mat files?

I have a situation where in order to get a certain gunsight I needed to use a [body] mesh which calls for a large number of files that I don"t want.

The result is that I have a bunch of mat files that are not wanted but need to be in my mod as place markers. I can render the unwanted parts invisible, but if they could be eliminated that would be better.

When I try to remove file name the mesh doesn't work anymore. If I were to remove the file name AND the 3D coding would it work?

Brilliant discovery

i have been using a hex editor to create a fair few of the mods here for some time. using a hex editor you can easily modify or change the name of the file the mesh asks for & then create a the new file - this helps when you are creating new gun positions & you dont want it to conflict with another when you are sharing files with another gun position. Its hard for me to explain but i recomend you download a free simple hex editor & maybe play around with the files for il2

Bloody hell! Now you have to tell me what you knew already inside the .msh file!

i wish i knew as much as you do! lol i dont know what i can tell you really other than what ive written here allready - i just slowly worked out where abouts the 3d data was contained but other than that my knowledge is very limitedcompared to you

[fatduck]

OK, Start from simple!

a) What mod you did?
b) As you said above, how to change the gun position(and in which file).
