+ordway Posted June 29, 2009 Author Posted June 29, 2009 (edited) Very nice! Yes, it needs to be refined like the SU-7 cockpit so that the radar only occupies the top part and is barely visible like the SU-7. Okay, I added the below entries to both the cockpit.ini and separately to the avionics.ini and I still get the same huge radar image that you have above. I am getting nowhere. The radar image needs to be much smaller and like in the SU-17 below: [HUDradar] Type=RADAR_SCOPE NodeName=Mira ImageSize=0.0625 [moveMiraY] Type=AIRSPEED_INDICATOR NodeName=Mira MovementType=POSITION_Y Set[01].Position=-0.1 Set[01].Value=0.0 Set[02].Position=-0.1 Set[02].Value=1.0 remImageSize=0.0625 ImageSize=0.0125 [MoveMiraZ] Type=AIRSPEED_INDICATOR NodeName=MiraPadre01 MovementType=POSITION_Z Set[01].Position=0.16 Set[01].Value=0.0 Set[02].Position=0.16 Set[02].Value=1.0 remImageSize=0.0625 ImageSize=0.0125 Edited June 29, 2009 by ordway Quote

+ordway Posted July 15, 2009 Author Posted July 15, 2009 Looking forward to this with great anticipation. Keep up the good work ! Here's a July 15 update on the Mig-23M cockpit. Almost everthing has been changed as per two Mig-23M color photos I have. Quote
+FLOGGER23 Posted July 15, 2009 Posted July 15, 2009 I'll be glad shooting down eagles-phantoms-tornados & other with them!!!!! YEAH!!! good job and a big thanks Ordway!!! Quote
Miracles Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 I'll be glad shooting down eagles-phantoms-tornados & other with them!!!!! YEAH!!! good job and a big thanks Ordway!!! Please make them compatible with SF-1 series. Would love to fly the floggers in WoI and WoE Quote
+ordway Posted July 17, 2009 Author Posted July 17, 2009 (edited) Okay, I just uploaded the Mig-23M cockpit for SFP1 series. I am so exhausted from it that I have only made it compataible for the SFP1 series. The Mig-23M was the first mass production Mig-23 series and reportedly had a radar nearly equal to the F4J's (when it was working). It was supposedly the first Soviet BVR fighter. The Mig-23 reported getting kills according to some books including a possible F-16 (which was not BVR rated at the time) as well as a Mirage F-1 and possibly an F-4 or two. Enjoy!

jomni Posted July 18, 2009 Posted July 18, 2009 Okay, I just uploaded the Mig-23M cockpit for SFP1 series. I am so exhausted from it that I have only made it compataible for the SFP1 series. Are there side effects when used in SF2? Quote
+FLOGGER23 Posted July 18, 2009 Posted July 18, 2009 Thanks a lot Ordway, and if i'm allowed to, do you have the MiG-23BN/MiG-27 in the works too? Quote
+ordway Posted July 18, 2009 Author Posted July 18, 2009 Thanks a lot Ordway, and if i'm allowed to, do you have the MiG-23BN/MiG-27 in the works too? I think yes. It might take awhile. Quote
+ordway Posted July 18, 2009 Author Posted July 18, 2009 Are there side effects when used in SF2? I do not know. However, there is a lot of strange graphics to make the Mig-23 HUD work. So, I do not know. Quote

+ordway Posted July 19, 2009 Author Posted July 19, 2009 (edited) I added some more objects in the new version 1.1 to make the Mig-23M cockpit closer to photos: 1. Added the round threat indicator to the left panel. 2. Deleted the dome shaped threat panel to the right panel. 3. Added two panel warning rows to the right panel. 4. Deleted the massive warning panel to the right side panel and added a photorealistic panel instead. This will be uploaded today I hope. Edited July 19, 2009 by ordway Quote

Can it be used with WoI too? I put the mod in the MiG-23M WoE folder but still couldn't pick the AC in Mission. Edited July 20, 2009 by Miracles Quote

Hi, did you first download the Mig-23 series from http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=5211 Then you can add the cockpit into that Mig-23M and it should work. Its in the readme, I believe. Maybe, I should just make it easier and include everything in the folder. Quote
+ordway Posted July 21, 2009 Author Posted July 21, 2009 (edited) I just uploaded a newer enhanced Mig-23ML (later version) cockpit which is by far more accurate than my previously uploaded version according to photos (as I became more skilled). Below are the two for comparison. Thanks also to Armourdave, Sal, Starfighter2 and lindr2. Mig-23ML Download link: http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=8938 Mig-23M (Older version cockpit): Note the differences: The later version has only one dial on the upper deck instead of two of the earlier Mig-23M, a very different gunsight (with a huge instrument panel on it for the later version), different radar displays and some other placement differences. Mig-23M download link: http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=9475 Mig-23ML (Newer version cockpit): ...and the very dark cockpit color from a color photo of a Mig-23ML: Edited July 21, 2009 by ordway Quote
+ordway Posted July 27, 2009 Author Posted July 27, 2009 (edited) Mig-23MS cockpit almost ready. The Mig-23 was the USSR's "most capable tactical fighter during the height of the cold war" according to a Jane's recognition guide.* The Mig-23MS export version saw heavy Arab-Israeli combat in the middle east and had combat with USN F-14s near Libya. It was a downgraded export version with a Mig-21 RP-22SM 'Jay Bird' radar in a smaller radome, and the IRST was removed. It reportedly had a radar scope on the dash like the Mig-21 series. This variant had no BVR capability. It was extremely fast at low level, had outstanding acceleration and a superb climb rate. It reportedly shot down some F-4s and perhaps an F-16 according to some Russian and some other sources. * Jane's Vintage Aircraft Recognition Guide by Tony Holmes, 2005.

Atreides Posted July 27, 2009 Posted July 27, 2009 (edited) I have to say that I'm really looking for to your MF and MLD cockpits (provided ofourse that ypu're planning on doing them) Edited July 27, 2009 by Atreides Quote
+ordway Posted July 27, 2009 Author Posted July 27, 2009 I have to say that I'm really looking for to your MF and MLD cockpits (provided ofourse that ypu're planning on doing them) Yes, I think the MLD will be next. It has its own very special and specific HUD that Starfighter2 built for it....different than for all the others. Boy, this Mig-23 series cockpits seems to have more dedicated variations then the beach has sand! Quote
+ordway Posted July 31, 2009 Author Posted July 31, 2009 (edited) Mig-23MF export version cockpit and the Mig-23MLD cockpit are almost finished. This Mig-23MF export version saw combat in the middle east with Syria and reportedly had some F-4 and F-16 kills. It was a much improved export version after the previous MS version. Added are features to make it more "developing worldish" including red labeling tape, lots of dust and simplified features. It fired radar-guided missiles and so was a BVR threat with the AA-7 Apex missiles. The Mig-23MLD cockpit is also almost finished. It was the the ultimate and final production updated Mig-23 version. It has a unique gunsight and HUD compared to the previous versions. Edited July 31, 2009 by ordway Quote
+ordway Posted August 1, 2009 Author Posted August 1, 2009 (edited) Mig-23P air defense version almost finished. It had the enemies' information data linked to its HUD. It had no ground attack capability, but enhanced radar. The MiG-23P was the most numerous PVO interceptor in the 1980s Edited August 1, 2009 by ordway Quote
+Brain32 Posted August 1, 2009 Posted August 1, 2009 The worst thing of all the MiG-23 modding is the fact that you can actually put the radar on the hud and it will work, but the damn thing simply refuses transparent textures for radar screen...arrrrgh But nevertheless, Ordway, your efforts are most appriciated and I must say you are doing one hel1 of a good job here Quote
