I have a very little contribution to add to the cockpit.ini :

Instrument[xxx]=CabinTemp

[CabinTemp]
Type=INLET_TEMPERATURE_INDICATOR
NodeName=Selector_dial_ base_01
MovementType=ROTATION_Z
Set[01].Position=140.0
Set[01].Value=-56.0
Set[02].Position=-140.0
Set[02].Value=0.0

It adds nothing, but it works :biggrin:

Great model !!!

------------------------------- Edit --------------------------------------

Set[02].Value=30 or more

Didn't work like it should / deg F vs deg C

Thankyou very much Ciff7600! I'll add it to the cockpit ini now.:good:

I've added these entries Cliff but the dial remains at 40 degrees throughout the whole flight; is it supposed to move?

Yes and no, I did half the job.
Have you ever saw an european guy trying to set temperature with an US device ? :haha:

"Set[02] value" to 30 or more as you like (Celsius lol )

Me, climbing to 30000 ft to check the temperature setting...

Also I use the mesh name "Selector_dial_ base_01" not "Selector_dial_base_01", just in case you have deleted the space just before "base" in the LOD file.

Me too :smile: .. Thanks Cliff, It works now, it's just odd that the cabin temperature increases the higher up you go, no?

It's the pilot increasing the heating system while the exterior get colder.

During the battle of Guadalcanal, B-17 crews had to live by +50 deg Celsius / 120 deg F on the ground and fly by -50 deg C / -60 deg F at altitude. Hard for men and machines.
(If I remember right)

And on the other hand it's a cockpit entry that should work for an engine.
I use it on other planes to have the exterior temperature.

That makes perfect sense, thanks again Cliff!:drinks:

Gentlemen, the NF-5A Volume is nearing completion.  The cockpit has received a complete overhaul- this time all consoles, and not just the main instrument panel, reflect the NF-5A as in use by the RNLAF.  Ravenclaw007, Crusader, and Baffmeister have all workd hard to bring this aircraft to its current state; and Soulfreak has contributed some outstanding f-16 Camo schemes (who knows there may be more..)

Last but not least, Cliff7600 and Logan4 have also contributed their skills to the aircraft's avionics.

Two weeks to release:wink:.. maybe a little less:wink:

Gents, she's just been uploaded .. should be up soon. 

Kudos to the team, Ravenclaw_007, Baffmeister, Soulfreak, Crusader, and Guuruu who all put in stellar efforts and  have worked hard to get this as accurate as the game engine would allow.  Here is the NF-5A manual for you to read while you wait.:wink:

Hello all,  I've been working on the Skoshi Tiger F-5C variant and will be requiring some help (I'll be asking in this thread) so If anyone can help with my questions, that would be great!

F-5C_Profile_Blurred.thumb.jpg.fd85619d7d6fbe0255ee64b2214d88f3.jpg

First, how does one make a weapon pylon jettisonable? (I know I can do it for fuel tanks, but have no idea If it is possible to do with weapon pylons.)

Second, Is it possible for the refueling apparatus to be included as a weapon (so that one can select it or not in the weapons selection menu in the game)?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi, sophocles, great news.

The refueling probe can be treated and set as a drop tank type of weapon. One would be able to select it and load it through the loading menu in the game. It would require the NoJettisionTank=TRUE line though so as to prevent it from being jettisonned in flight.

Excellent! That should be easy enough to do; thankyou Svetlin!

it can also be done as an ECM pod, like we did with the add-on avionics humps for Skyhawks , or as a 'fake pilot" -- both methods were used on the Scooters, with excellent results.
