If you get all the VPs you'll have everything except the cutscenes. All the sound and anis will be there.
I have all the VPs, but I have no sound and no anis save the default CB ani. The WAV files for the sounds and the other CB/intel anis just don't work. Might have something to do with their being cheap 0kb placeholders...
You have to delete the placeholders once you have all the vp files. FS2 considers something in \freespace2\data higher priority than anything in a vp in \freespace2
The best thing to do is to simply make a new data folder and copy your pilots across to it.
