Sometimes, before you post a problem...you might want to check that you HAVE a problem first...

[AGOSTINO 5]

Forgive my question, but I have not yet understood, what is the "Aircraft CTD" or "CTD Planes"??

[MigBuster 2,884]

"Crash To Desktop" normally meaning the game crashes and shuts down so you are back at the Windows desktop

[Guest rscsjsuso5]

Forgive my question, but I have not yet understood, what is the "Aircraft CTD" or "CTD Planes"??

 

to help ctd=crash to desktop , some aircraft is too big for the airbase that the sim can't handle and to fix this problem i suggest go to your aircraft data.ini example f16data.ini and change the value to small in minbasesize=small

I thank you, now I understand, is quite clear!!! However, I never had a problem with such!!!

[AGOSTINO 5]

Some of You, know the exact values, or the fix for the "Lights Position" of the Su-39 Super Grach for SF2??

 

 

The lights are not on the frame of the plane, they're afloat!!

 

 

 

 

[Wrench 9,851]

Their positions are adjusted via data ini edits in each light callout section (ie: Positon=, as below).

 

[LeftPositionLight]

SystemType=LIGHT

Position=-6.65,-0.25,-0.26 <--this line

LightSrcOffset=-0.0,0.00,0.00

Color=0.88,0.25,0.25

Brightness=0.04

LightSrcRange=0.5

CanFlash=FALSE

FlashTime=0.6

 

Having done this hundreds of times for thousands of light bulbs, I can assure you it's a mind-bending process. Move, test in game, move, test in game, move, test in game - you get the picture.

 

Finding exactly WHERE they're supposed to be, well, that's where hours of research on the web comes into play. Or finding really good walkaround sites, books on the aircraft, detailed photos, etc.

 

have fun!!!

I thank you, I understand the procedure, but I can't find even a night photos with lamps lit, to see where they are in reality!!

 

Some of you have realistic pictures where can I see the lights??

[+EricJ 4,248]

I would think that the Su-39 isn't at all different from the Su-25 as far as locations.

[+76.IAP-Blackbird 3,557]

thx for this fix!

[AGOSTINO 5]

thx for this fix!

 

You are welcome!!!!

[AGOSTINO 5]

When go to the key "A", that corresponds to the autopilot, happens to me that does not work!!

 

In the game seems to me the written:

 

"Autopilot engaged" followed immediately by "Autopilot disengaged"

 

Because this behavior?? The autopilot enable me and disable me simultaneously??

Isn't it the "Q" key ? maybe your "A" is assigned to "able/disable autopilot" .. which doesn't make many sense I know !

[Fubar512 1,350]

The A key is the TW default to toggle the autopilot, and always has been. The only reason that a model won't hold autopilot (other than a hardware issue, such as a faulty controller), would be due to an issue with the model moving or bobbing on its pitch axis. That can only be fixed by editing the model's FM.

Thanks much, problem solved!!! The cause was the joystick!!!

[jomni 6]

some missile pylons are also off or missing. Is that fixable?

What?? I do not understand!!!

[Wrench 9,851]

Remember how you adjusted the lights???

 

Well, you do the same thing with the attachment position's on the weapons station's callout in the data ini.

Thanks Wrench, I have already thought to this solution!! But the problem only occurs with two types of weapons:

 

(1) AA - 13

 

and

 

(2) R - 37

 

 

When load these two weapons, a part of the attack of the pylon not appears!!

 

 

If, however load other types of weapons, the problem there is not!!

 

 

Look the pictures of example:
