Help - Canopy open on Phantom FG Mk 1(ECM) ?

Recommended Posts

Does anybody know to open the canopy on the Phantom FG Mk 1(ECM).

 

I tried the following in the fuselage section, but it doesn't work.

 

SystemName[020]=Canopy

 

[Canopy]

SystemType=HIGHLIFT_DEVICE

CLiftdc=0.00

DeltaStallAlpha=0.00

AreaRatio=0.00

DeploymentMethod=AUTOMATIC_SPEED

Setting[1].Angle=30.0

Setting[1].DeployValue=0.0

Setting[1].RetractValue=10.0

MaxDeflection=30.0

MinDeflection=0.0

ControlRate=1.0

AnimationID=3

For the F-4 variants I have in WOV and WOE I use the following...

 

[Canopy]

SystemType=HIGHLIFT_DEVICE

DeploymentMethod=AUTOMATIC_SPEED

Setting[1].Angle=30.0

Setting[1].DeployValue=15.0

Setting[1].RetractValue=10.0

MaxDeflection=30.0

MinDeflection=0.0

ControlRate=2.0

AnimationID=3

 

Please let me know if this works for the FG Mk 1(ECM). Thanks.

 

Regards, comrpnt.

No, still doesn't open, unfortunately.

Don't use highlift device. Just set it up as an animation.

I tried this method on the RAF F-4M and it works perfectly.

 

So it seems it's only the FGMk1 doesn't have this modeled.

Anybody?

 

As I said don't try to set it up as a highlift device. Use the manually-activated animation feature.

IIRC, the model itself isnt set up for an opening canopy, hence nothing working.

I can't think of a reason why the canopy animation would have been removed. Its based on TK's F-4 that was leaked.
