Wrench Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 have you checked the avionics dll pointer??? (paraphrased from 2010, 'have you checked the orbit?') Quote
ultramig688 Posted November 25, 2013 Author Posted November 25, 2013 have you checked the avionics dll pointer??? (paraphrased from 2010, 'have you checked the orbit?') thanks for replying wrench.now it gets interesting.what is the avionics dll pointer? Quote
+logan4 Posted November 26, 2013 Posted November 26, 2013 That is a value set in the FA-18E(orwhateverversion).ini file under the "AircraftData" section. AvionicsDLL=Avionics70.dll <------ or any other. Most likely you have missing textures in the cockpit folder so if the above statement is there than that would be a next step together with checking the avionics and cockpit.ini. Best to re-read the readme file as you might have skipped a step during the unpacking/install process of it. Quote
ultramig688 Posted November 26, 2013 Author Posted November 26, 2013 Ok logan4 I will check,but It will be later.spending time with the wife right now.thank you for your help. Quote
Wrench Posted November 26, 2013 Posted November 26, 2013 wives is more important!! (I wonder if it's called for textures NOT in the /cockpit folder, but referenced from one of the cat files? Since I don't have it ... and am up to my ears in ww2 china- don't have time to look!) Quote
ultramig688 Posted November 26, 2013 Author Posted November 26, 2013 Aircraft data ini on the block 2 shows AvionicsDLL=AvionicsF14A.dll.cockpit folder has a HUD folder and radar folder in it.but I found it strange that the block 1 f-18's have 2 .ini files one is spelled FA-18E _BlockI and the other is FA18E_BLKI and they both have different avionics dll's the block 2 only has one ini spelled FA-18E_BLK II.

Wrench Posted November 26, 2013 Posted November 26, 2013 (edited) if you don't have SF2NA as part of the merged setup, you won't have the radars, as that dll ONLY comes with NA. some editing will be required try switching to avionics70.dll (for shits and grins) and see what happens. with luck, there's an f183 avionics.ini (or whatever it's called), and thing may start working also, I'd give the readme a real good perursal, there should be instructions and requirements listed therein Edited November 26, 2013 by Wrench Quote
ultramig688 Posted November 26, 2013 Author Posted November 26, 2013 thanks wrench,i think you're right because on the block 1 hornets one of the ini's(don't remember which one)has the 70dll and the other ini has the f-14dll.so I think thats why the block 1 hornets work and not the block 2(only the one ini on block 2 with f-14dll).so I think your suggested fix will work.i'll try it later this evening.
