Stick Posted February 19, 2013 Posted February 19, 2013 Perchance, has anybody got the cockpit position nailed after the last update from Thirdwire sans the quickfix of commenting out the ShowFromCockpit=TRUE line? This is for Marcfighters Flankers.
+Fubar512 Posted February 19, 2013 Posted February 19, 2013 Yes. You have to rotate out the canopy bow and the windshield frames. I will post the relevent statements when I get home this evening.
Stick Posted February 19, 2013 Author Posted February 19, 2013 Right on...I'll wait; thanks ever so much! In the meanwhile... 1
+Fubar512 Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 (edited) OK, in the Su-27_data.ini, add the following lines under the designated sections (you may have to adjust the coponent numbers to fit your existing sequence): [AircraftData] Component[012]=Hide1 Component[013]=Hide2 Component[014]=Hide3 Component[015]=Hide4 [Hide1] ParentComponentName=Fuselage ModelNodeName=arco DestroyedNodeName= ShowFromCockpit=FALSE HasAeroCoefficients=FALSE [Hide2] ParentComponentName=Fuselage ModelNodeName=Line07 DestroyedNodeName= ShowFromCockpit=FALSE HasAeroCoefficients=FALSE [Hide3] ParentComponentName=Fuselage ModelNodeName=Line08 DestroyedNodeName= ShowFromCockpit=FALSE HasAeroCoefficients=FALSE [Hide4] ParentComponentName=Fuselage ModelNodeName=Line27 DestroyedNodeName= ShowFromCockpit=FALSE HasAeroCoefficients=FALSE In the cockpit.ini: [CockpitSeat001] ModelName=SU-27-cockpit HideExternalNodeName=Canopy Position=0.0000,5.25,1.57 ViewAngles=0.0,-0.0,0.0 The only drawback is that the canopy frame shadows occasionally appear as faint "ghosts", depending on sun angle and the sun's relative position.

Stick Posted February 20, 2013 Author Posted February 20, 2013 (edited) Thank you!!! I can live with ghosts. Edited February 20, 2013 by Stick
Stick Posted February 20, 2013 Author Posted February 20, 2013 Didn't work I'm afraid...I still think its the cockpit position that is porked.
+Fubar512 Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 I don't know what else to tell you, my friend, as it works fine for me...
Stick Posted February 20, 2013 Author Posted February 20, 2013 I checked the .out file. Somehow I don't find this ModelNodeName=arco line07, line08, and line 27 are present though Either that or it's the viewlist as I mentioned in the pm
+Fubar512 Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 I checked the .out file. Somehow I don't find this ModelNodeName=arco That may be the culprit, right there. The model itself is a newer one by Marcfighters (even though it's still 3-4 years old), and he may have changed it somewhat from the version that he released. It's still not perfect, as you can see the "ghost shadow" that I was referring to, in the second image. It's being cast by the right-hand side of the canopy bow, or "arco".
Stick Posted February 20, 2013 Author Posted February 20, 2013 Somewhat of a breakthrough... For the really old models instead of arco, if one enters cockpit as depicted below, it gets rid of the unsightly stuff. Its not perfect, but atleast you can see out of the front! [Hide1] ParentComponentName=Fuselage ModelNodeName=Cockpit DestroyedNodeName= ShowFromCockpit=FALSE HasAeroCoefficients=FALSE Thanks Fubar512 for giving me heads up on what I needed to look for. Man, this is intricate!
CowboyTodd41 Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 Since we're on the subject, does anyone have a link to a download for the aircraft and the cockpit?
+russouk2004 Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 (edited) Since we're on the subject, does anyone have a link to a download for the aircraft and the cockpit? 3rd and 6th items... chinese Su-27sk and the Su-27 Russian http://marcfighters.combatace.com/Aircrafts.htm Edited February 21, 2013 by russouk2004
Tannethal Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Wrenchs generic Cockpit fixes: http://combatace.com/topic/58372-the-double-cockpit-issue/page__hl__%2Bwrench+%2Bcockpit+%2Bposition It's the "CockpitCGOffset=TRUE" statement missing in Su-27_data.ini in the [AircraftData] section. Add the text in "" right after the line CGPosition=0.0,-1.00,0.0 This fixes the cockpit position being in the seat, however the hide statements are still necessary for removing the exterior models canopy framing. S!
+Coupi Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 (edited) Hello, Very interesting subject with very good updating possiblities! So... I present you my repainting Su-27S cockpit: - arms/legs removed (optional), - side panel, - white lines for instrument panels, - ADI (little grey visual deleted), - radar screen,... Best regards, Coupi. Edited March 2, 2013 by Coupi
