Hi there! I want to change the existing pilots photos in OF logbook, but I cannot find the appropriate folder, in order to edit new pilot photos in tga format and put them there... (as I did with the ''patches'' folder)
Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance!

Hi there and welcome to the forums. I moved your topic into terrain/theater area which is editing area, F4 general area is meant for basic "F4 talk" like playing the sim and not editing. Hopefully someone knows answer to your question as I have not edited pilot photos before.

I found it! To use your own picture, place the graphics file into the \FALCON4\PICTURES folder on your
hard drive. The picture must be in either 16-bit Targa (.TGA extension) or 16-bit GIF format with
dimensions of 144 pixels high by 110 pixels wide. Your picture can be smaller than this, but the
width must be an even number of pixels. If you want to make part of the picture’s background
transparent (that is, a mask), make that part of the picture magenta (RGB value 255, 0, 255). That
part of the picture won’t be drawn against the background. Once you have copied your picture to
the hard drive, go into the Logbook and click the Picture area to select your photo. I think that the size must be 96x96, as the patches photos :wink:
