starfighter006 Posted Friday at 01:55 PM Posted Friday at 01:55 PM Hello, it bothered me that the needles in the LABS instrument were not moving in the A-4B and F-100D. So I calibrated them and updated the Cockpit INIs accordingly. The instruments are called [LABS_Roll_Test] and [LABS_Pitch_Test]. Example for F-100D: [LABS_Roll_Test] Type=BANK_INDICATOR NodeName=needle_labs_roll MovementType=POSITION_X ValueUnit=DEG Set[01].Position=0.0000 Set[01].Value=0.0 Set[02].Position=0.0192 Set[02].Value=90.0 Set[03].Position=0.0000 Set[03].Value=180.0 Set[04].Position=-0.0192 Set[04].Value=270.0 Set[05].Position=0.0000 Set[05].Value=360.0 [LABS_Pitch_Test] Type=PITCH_INDICATOR NodeName=needle_labs_pitch MovementType=POSITION_Z ValueUnit=DEG Set[01].Position=-0.0187 Set[01].Value=-90.0 Set[02].Position=0.0000 Set[02].Value=0.0 Set[03].Position=0.0187 Set[03].Value=90.0 Try it out if you like! Note: Of course it is not a working LABS computer, but still helpful for bombing raids I think. And better than just a static non-functional instrument F-100D_COCKPIT.INI A-4B_COCKPIT.INI 4 2
Cliff7600 Posted Friday at 02:27 PM Posted Friday at 02:27 PM I did that with a rotation movement for the needles, instead of a position movement. For the A-4B [ClimbDiveIndVert] Type=BANK_INDICATOR NodeName=needle_climb-dive_vert MovementType=ROTATION_Z ValueUnit=DEG Set[01].Position=0.0 Set[01].Value=0.0 Set[02].Position=20.0 Set[02].Value=9.0 Set[03].Position=20.0 Set[03].Value=171.0 Set[04].Position=0.0 Set[04].Value=179.99 Set[05].Position=360.0 Set[05].Value=180.01 Set[06].Position=340.0 Set[06].Value=189.0 Set[07].Position=340.0 Set[07].Value=351.0 Set[08].Position=360.0 Set[08].Value=360.0 [ClimbDiveIndHoriz] Type=PITCH_INDICATOR NodeName=needle_climb-dive_horiz MovementType=ROTATION_Z ValueUnit=DEG Set[01].Position=0.0 Set[01].Value=-180.0 Set[02].Position=20.0 Set[02].Value=-90.0 Set[03].Position=0.0 Set[03].Value=0.0 Set[04].Position=-20.0 Set[04].Value=90.0 Set[05].Position=0.0 Set[05].Value=180.0 I thought the same, it's better if it works even without any real use. But in a what-if aircraft that could be turned into a perfectly working ILS 3 1
