I've downloaded the F5F from FAST CARGO and I'm having a problem with the HUD. It has 3 vertical white blocks on it. I'm not seeing this on the other planes I've been flying. I've attached a screenshot. Any one have any ideas?

It looks to me like the alpha-channel in the .tga file is either missing or non-functional. So you've probably got a corrupted file. Best to download again and replace the cockpit files.

 

OR

 

I imagine those boxes represent the altitude ladder and the gunsight. You could try replacing them with ones from another aircraft.

I've got the same problem. Tried to redownload it, but to no avail. I'm looking around in the avionics.ini to see if I can't find what those parts are named.

Look in cockpit/HUD file and see what size the TGA's or BMP's are.

My machine will only read a tga or bmp if it a base 16 size

(32x32,64x64,128x128,256x256 all the way to 2048 or higher or 128x?,256x?,1024x?,etc) If it is 100x?, 200x?, 400x? I get the white rectangles just like your showing. Same thing for decals and numbers.

You will need a program to change the size of these tga's/bmp's.

I use Paintshop Pro.

I've tried reloading it. Same vertical bars in the HUD. I guess I'll try ez's idea next. Thanks for the replies

Actually folks, none of the solutions mentioned will work. I've figured out the problem...expect a new upload in the next few days.

 

Until then, find the F-5FFRONT_DATA.INI in the F-5F directory, go inside it and look for the [AircraftData] section, and substitute the entire entry there with this:

 

[AircraftData]

DestroyedModel=F-5F_Destroyed.LOD

DestroyedEffect=VehicleFireEffect

EmptyMass=4410.0

EmptyInertia=43106.59,3770.14,46876.72

ReferenceArea=17.30

ReferenceSpan=8.13

ReferenceLength=14.45

ReferenceChord=2.90

CGPosition=0.00,0.00,0.00

Component[001]=EngineBox

Component[002]=NoseSection

Component[003]=LeftWing

Component[004]=RightWing

Component[005]=LeftOuterWing

Component[006]=RightOuterWing

Component[007]=LeftStab

Component[008]=RightStab

Component[009]=VertTail

Component[010]=FrontSection

Component[011]=RearControls

Component[012]=HideSightPlane

 

[HideSightPlane]

ParentComponentName=FakeFuselage

ModelNodeName=SightPlane

DestroyedNodeName=SightPlane

DetachWhenDestroyed=TRUE

HasAeroCoefficients=FALSE

 

Save the data.ini. That should fix the issue.
