I'm interesting in taking a stab at repainting some planes, I think some of the older russian stuff that came with the original IL-2 could use some work..

Sorry for lack of finding out where to post this, I am a graphic designer and modder for other sims.. I would love to try some texture editing but I don't know what program to use to convert the files. I extracted some files from the MiG-3.. the .mat and .mesh files, I am guessing the cockpit textures are in the .mat ones? Is there a .mat to tga converter or something?

Sorry for posting this here, I didn't know where to post this. If someone could reply to me or send me a private message I would appreciate it!

Hi, and welcome .....

To access files and to make them editable you'll need two applications :

1 SFS extractor

viewtopic.php?t=2268

plus latest filelist.txt for it :

(The link is inoperative)

- with this you can extract all necessary files ( from fb_3doXX.SFS / game root)
- simply load one by one fb_3doXX.SFS file and extract it into same temp folder
- when all is done you should have all cockpit files located in :

"your temp folder"\3do\cockpit"desired plane"\

2 Tga Converter

(The link is inoperative)

- it converts game's un-editable tga files into editable ( P Shop..PSP ....Gimp...)
- load one by one tga file from desired cockpit folder and save them to temp folder
---------------

Mod structure :

MODS"whatever you like"\3do\cockpit"desired plane"
