+Stary Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 (edited) I'm working on the Curtiss Hawk 75 cockpit (among other things) and I ran into several issues regarding current state of instruments implementation (Series 2 current level, merged) My questons are as follows: suction -any detail on this one? -using placeholder G-load instead cylinders temperature -is modelled? if so -what's the instrument name? prop pitch and mixture level -I guess CEM is not modelled right now? current tank (int/aux) selector? any use? voltage level? any use? I used it as accelerometer in my P-26 pit, so it moves slightly when pusching high G I will use whole sliding canopy as speed indicator (like in some other pits) meaning it will close at lets say 30 MPH -IF I model the rotation of the closing lever and I want to model that small wheel with chain too -should I link the meshes or use independent rotation controllers via separate instruments? Currently they're linked to port side EDIT: which is linked to starboard, quite messy hierarchy I have there TIA Edited May 4, 2011 by Stary Quote
Wrench Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 (edited) ckh out the 'fake' Skyraider pit it did for the SF2V upgrad pak ... i fiddled some of the insturments to prop style suction = engine vacuum cylinder head temp does seem to work, maybe oil temp too??? (can't rmember!) other temp might be coolant, for inline liquid cooleds Edited May 4, 2011 by Wrench 1 Quote

liamp51 Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 I have been playing IL-2 for about 4 years and may have some ideas. Maybe the thrust vectoring function could be adapted for prop-pitch, since mixture is hardly used at least when I fly. I only use it on very long flights to conserve fuel and other things. I think somebody did some key assignments for trim awhile back for the Tu-22M3 so that should be able to be worked out. I think the biggest things are the ability to control radiator, prop-pitch, manual trim, and possibly a mixture control, after that, your set! Quote
+Stary Posted May 5, 2011 Author Posted May 5, 2011 radiator position could be linked to engine temperature, could work ok with radial engines Quote
