If we could make the table and put all HUD_Functions names on left section, then add to clumn:  COCKPIT | HUD | RADAR

I take that

As far as I can say, HUD and RWR entries are the same for Avionics60 and Avionics70. Avionics70 is different for Radar functions only. Maybe less work for the radar difference only.

Avionics14A: some differences in radar functions + VDI introduction

That is noted, I will still peek through Avionics70 and other Avionics DLL.  Maybe it will surprise us if there are some difference wihtin the same name of the functions.

By the way, you gave me an idea that saves me a lot of time.  Instead of building new notes, I will use an existing Avionics60 text files like HUD.txt and other txt files, then rename it as AVIONICS70 version. I will use it as I go through Avionics70.DLL dump file.  That way, if there is any difference, even by a little, it wil be updated in that txt file.

Cheers!

It's not exactly the table you described but it is a first step. All the Avionics and Cockpit functions I know, by alphabetical order. I cannot claim it is exhaustive. Those in red were captured in dll or mods but either they do not work or I have not been able to make them work.

Thank you for the file, the SymbolType=<NAME>, the NAME part is huge help!

And with the list you sent me, I can look into what isn't working too.

I am almost done with Avioincs70.DLL's RadarData section as well the SymbolType keys with detailed information,  Will post here soon.


Cheers!

Hello everyone!

I have extracted all of the Radar(NAME)Class which is used as SymbolType for the Avionics70.DLL based radar.

Here is the list of Radar(NAME)Class and UPPER_SNAKE names for SymbolType.

SF2_Symbol_Assoicated_Key_list.txt

Finally, here is RadarData (with DisplayData* and SymbolType included) containing the sections, keys, and associated keys.

I hope it have correct data. If any of codes does not work, please let me know and I'll take look at it.

AVIONICS 70 - RADARDATA.txt

Cheers!

I tried a few new functions found.

For some, so far nok  (tried in Avionics70 only):

I tried SymbolType=MISSILE_TOF and then tried SymbolType=MISSILE_TOF_TEXT in case of ... but none displayed something

I also tried the font overrides:

// --- Per-symbol font overrides (optional) ---

TextFontName=Arial
TextSize=14
TextBold=TRUE
TextItalic=FALSE
TextUnderline=FALSE
TextStrikeOut=FALSE
TextShadow=FALSE
ShadowColor=0.0,0.0,0.0,1.0
ShadowOffset=1
TextOutline=FALSE
OutlineColor=0.0,0.0,0.0,1.0
OutlineSize=1

in a TEXT entry, and also added them in [RadarFont] but also no effect.

On the opposite, for  "SymbolType=MASTER_ARM_TEXT", I knew the simplified one, but I could test successfully the options "OnText" OffText" and "HideWithGuns=TRUE"  that were unknown so far.

For those that did not work I can assume they are there as provision, or leftover from the library, but not coded yet, or code removed because unused for optimization.
