Caesar Posted March 16, 2012 Posted March 16, 2012 Can I get an avionics guru to help me with getting the TWS to work with the TMF Tomcats like it does with Tk's? Dave, I got it to work that way, but it doesn't number the targets; guess that's something that will have to be added. IIRC, someone did it with the F-22 also. I basically made the TMF F-14's radar modes in the avionics.ini match the TW version (without touching any of the "graphics" stuff, .tga's and what not), and set the avionics in F-14A+_87 (the plane I tested it on) to AvionicsF14A.dll. Set up a test against 6 hunters, locked each one (but without the numbers to indicate it was working) fired 6 and crossed my fingers. 5 of the six hunters went down, only one AIM-54 missed. So, it works, it just might need some tweaking to show right. Quote
squid Posted March 16, 2012 Posted March 16, 2012 Do we have maybe a word from TK on the past Mach 1 roll rate ? Quote

Like you I had no shootlist on the radar. I also have not seen an entry for the shootlist in any of the F-14 INI files. Edited March 16, 2012 by KJakker Quote

Caesar Posted March 16, 2012 Posted March 16, 2012 Sid, +1, that makes it more manageable at above .93IMN for sure. Dave, what are the values/entries for the fire sequence numbers? Quote
+Dave Posted March 16, 2012 Author Posted March 16, 2012 Ok this works with the TMF birds and the hot trigger light too. Thanks Otto. Quote
Caesar Posted March 16, 2012 Posted March 16, 2012 Nice, Dave, checked it out and it works. Real challenge is gonna be getting it into the TMF F-14D! Quote

Curious what TK has to say about it. If he claims it was like that in RL, i might prefer keep it as he maded it. Quote
+Dave Posted March 16, 2012 Author Posted March 16, 2012 Nice, Dave, checked it out and it works. Real challenge is gonna be getting it into the TMF F-14D! That's your department sir. Quote
strongmc Posted March 16, 2012 Posted March 16, 2012 Seems that all attack aircraft just roll off the carrier. A-7 as part of the original game and A-4's when I alter the campaign. Maybe there is a fix here? No carrier issues when I alter the campaign to fly F-4Js or F-18As. Quote

+SkateZilla Posted March 17, 2012 Posted March 17, 2012 (edited) 333 AWAC Voice Overs to re-record.... now, should i voice over them or run them through filters to make them actually sound like radio transmissions? Example: Original: T1BDAP008.WAV Edited: T1BDAP008b.wav Edited March 17, 2012 by SkateZilla Quote
+SkateZilla Posted March 17, 2012 Posted March 17, 2012 The edited one is perfect! then i'll spend all day tomorrow on it, I already saved the settings in the studio board, so i just turn it on, flip to preset52, play the sounds 1 at a time, while recording mixer board output, save them as new wavs and put them in whatever folder. Quote
+Dave Posted March 17, 2012 Author Posted March 17, 2012 One thing can you put a little background noise to it? Like this http://blog.chron.com/newswatch/2009/02/flight-3407-hear-the-air-traffic-control-transmissions/ Quote
+ST0RM Posted March 17, 2012 Posted March 17, 2012 Yep, the edited is spot on. Just add a touch of static and you are set. Nice work. Quote
+Dave Posted March 17, 2012 Author Posted March 17, 2012 Yeah static that is what i was trying to say. Quote
+SkateZilla Posted March 17, 2012 Posted March 17, 2012 (edited) i forgot where to put the modded WAVs, lol, I wanna do a dry run with a pre-set line in the mission and record before/after video. might be less than 333 actually, as some of the T1 prefix waves are the old Female Snoopy voice. (edit, brain fart, remembered folder structure). Uploading a vid to Youtube. Edited March 17, 2012 by SkateZilla Quote
+FastCargo Posted March 17, 2012 Posted March 17, 2012 TK changed the shadow engine to allow for Max Properties for Shadows, so you can build the Clouds, right clock and de-select cast shadow/receive shadow. It's not just the shadowing, it's the shading...the bumps of clouds do not look anywhere close to realistic. Much easier to post emitters instead. FC PS Here's an example of what I did using 'round' emitters in a stack...6 on the bottom, 3 in the middle, and 1 on top. Made the 'clouds' look 3 dimensional, with 'fuzzy' borders. Change the size and position of the various emitters and you can make thunderstorms. Even can fly through them with decent realism. Quote
+SkateZilla Posted March 17, 2012 Posted March 17, 2012 Needs more static... i added some white noise, but i think when i passed it through the board the filters filtered most of it out. Quote
Lexx_Luthor Posted March 17, 2012 Posted March 17, 2012 FC I remember you doing that. The balls are not responding to the SF lighting of sun, moon, and effects, like objects normally do -- think of Radarfacility by grumpapotamus and the SF sun shining on the dome in grump's screenshot there. - How far away could you take the camera from the balls and still see them? Quote
+ST0RM Posted March 17, 2012 Posted March 17, 2012 SZ, You've got the sound pretty good now. But, it sounds like you are reading a script. It doesnt flow naturally or have any voice inflection. -S Quote
