Can you make a cockpit node disappear with an edit to the cockpit.ini file like with an aircraft lod & the data.ini file?

[+dtmdragon]

Is there a way to make a node disappear in the cockpit using the cockpit.ini file the same way you can for a node on an aircraft lod? eg to do it with an aircraft .lod you add the following to the data.ini file:

 

[AircraftData]

Component[xxx]=no_nose_ecm

 

// Mods ------------------------------------------------------

 

[no_nose_ecm]

ParentComponentName=Nose

ModelNodeName=nose_ecm

DestroyedNodeName=nose_ecm

DetachWhenDestroyed=TRUE

HasAeroCoefficients=FALSE

[+RAVEN]

Add to Cockpit.ini

Item Move

 

///--cockpit moves---

 

Instrument[031]=

Instrument[032]=

Instrument[033]=

Instrument[034]=

Instrument[035]=

Instrument[036]=

Instrument[XXX]=Move1 <---------XXX Next number inline

 

 

[Move1]

Type=AIRSPEED_INDICATOR

NodeName=Armored_Glass <---------------Node Name

MovementType=POSITION_Y

Set[01].Position=-100

Set[01].Value=0.0

Set[02].Position=-99

Set[02].Value=1.0

 

 

//End of Move-----------------------------

 

If it's a parent node all the children will vanish also.

Cheers for the help but unfortunately it didn't quite do the trick. It is the joystick I want to remove and doing what you wrote above just made it lay down horizontally pointing forwards??

 

Here is the original cockpit.ini lines for the joystick I want to remove:

 

[stickRoll]

Type=CONTROL_STICK_ROLL

NodeName=SideStickBase

MovementType=ROTATION_Y

Set[01].Position=-15.0

Set[01].Value=-1.0

Set[02].Position=15.0

Set[02].Value=1.0

 

[stickPitch]

Type=CONTROL_STICK_PITCH

NodeName=SideStick

MovementType=ROTATION_X

Set[01].Position=15.0

Set[01].Value=-1.0

Set[02].Position=-15.0

Set[02].Value=1.0

for SF2, theres a simple function to remove a mesh:

 

[stickRoll]

Type=INACTIVE

NodeName=SideStickBase

 

[stickPitch]

Type=INACTIVE

NodeName=SideStick

That did the trick- Thank you!
