FIX for F-15's waypoint rangecounter

[SFP1Ace 33]

EDIT: I'm using SF2 merged install (all three titles) june 2009b, this "problem" might not exist in WoE or older patch versions, don't know.

 

As it is now waypoint rangecounter only indicatest ranges form 00.0 to 99.9 miles, so if the waypoint 200 miles away it won't show up properly.

 

 

That's not very useful, especially if you don't use the white cons and/or map. To remedy this you'll need to change the following line in F15A_COCKPIT.ini

 

 

[RangeCounter]

Type=RANGE_INDICATOR

CounterNodeFormat=counter_dist_%d

MovementType=ANALOG_COUNTER

ValueUnit=NM

Scale=10.0 <--- change this to Scale=1.0

 

 

The rangecounter won't show the decimal parts of a mile anymore, but at least you'll know whether it's 50 or 150 miles ;)

 

Hope it helps, Michal

Thanks, I just found this today as well and wondered about what's going on. Which .cat do I need to extract for the F15A_COCKPIT.INI, or has someone done the mod and can put it here as file?

This scale=10.0 setting is in the A-10A_Cockpit.ini as well I just found.
