[CameraData] in avionics ini

[+Monty CZ]

Hello all, I found that SE-5a has [CameraData] section

in its avionics ini.

[CameraData]

CameraFOV=10.0

CameraPosition=0.0,-0.23,0.72

CameraAngles=0.0,5.0,0.0

 

I need to use it for aiming in my AC-119K but I cant use it with any succes.

Do anybody have an idea where could be the problem?

Thanx Monty

Hey Monty CZ

 

since we aren't allowed to post in the KB i will reply down here

 

I’m sorta using it in my Voisin (still WIP)

Its been alittle while since I set it up but I think it goes like this

 

A mesh for the screen

A blank (white) BMP mapped to the screen mesh (I think the camera actually projects on this one…)

A transparent TGA with a reticule overlay

 

Voisin3_AVIONICS.INI

 

[TVDisplayData]

TVDisplayTextureSize=256 //resolution of the tga overlay (doesn’t need to be the same as the tga)

ApplyFilter=FALSE // fuzzy glitch filter (I think)

OverlayTexture=bombsightoverlay.tga //transparent TGA with a reticule, overlay not mapped in MAX

 

[CameraData]

CameraFOV=35.0 //zoom level, you will have to play I can’t remember what + and – do…

CameraPosition=0.430,1.58,0.00 // position of the lens (doesn’t relate to the screen …can be any where)

CameraAngles=0.0,-68.0,-0.0 // angle of lens

And in the cockpit.ini

 

[bombSight]

Type=TV_SCOPE

NodeName=bombsights // screen mesh mapped with a small white (blank) bmp

 

And I’m using a custom view in the VIEWLIST.INI (optional) to get my pilots head over the sight

 

[View031]

ViewName=bombssightView

ViewClassName=NarrowCockpitViewClass

UpdateAlways=FALSE

ViewGotoControl=GOTO_COCKPIT_BOMBSIGHT_VIEW //constant for the keyboard map

CycleNextControl=

CyclePrevControl=

ObjectFrom=SearchAircraft

AngleOffsets=-0.0,-85.0,0.0 // angle of eye position

PositionOffsets=0.434,0.079,0.00 // eye position

 

 

In the keyboard map.ini

GOTO_COCKPIT_GUNSIGHT_VIEW=F3

GOTO_COCKPIT_BOMBSIGHT_VIEW=SHIFT+F3

GOTO_COCKPIT_UP_VIEW=SHIFT+F1

 

hope that helps :yes:

What about something like form the stock "DTV" entries?

 

[TVDisplayData]

UseRadarTexture=FALSE

ApplyFilter=TRUE

FilterMaterial=DTVFilterMaterial

 

[DTVFilterMaterial]

DepthBufferCheck=FALSE

DepthBufferWrite=FALSE

RenderedInOrder=FALSE

AlphaTestEnabled=FALSE

CullMode=NO_CULL

LightEnabled=FALSE

SpecularEnabled=FALSE

EmissiveEnabled=FALSE

FogEnabled=FALSE

AmbientColor=1.000000,1.000000,1.000000,1.000000

DiffuseColor=1.000000,1.000000,1.000000,1.000000

ZBufferOffset=0.000000

PriorityLevel=1

BlendOp=MODULATE

NumTextureStages=1

TextureStage[01].TextureName=GreenTVFilter.bmp

TextureStage[01].MipMap=FALSE

TextureStage[01].FilterEnabled=FALSE

TextureStage[01].StageColorOp=TEXTURE

TextureStage[01].StageAlphaOp=DIFFUSE

 

You'd probably still want to add a radar of some kind; I'm pretty sure all the C-series transports had some kind of "weather radar" or ground mapping capabilites
