How to remove radar in the top-right corner

[Peeppu 207]

Gentlemen, how can I remove the radar-pointer in the top-right corner?

 

I want the normal use of radar, not "hard". The same applies to the cockpit. I want remove the radar-pointer in the top-right corner only.

Extract the HUDDATA.ini file from the FlightData.cat. Place it in your Flight folder, and then edit out Display004 which is the radar.

 

Or just drop the attachment into your Flight folder.

 

HUDDATA.7z

as to your question about canopies, one must make use of ALL SF rescources; this was covered in the 1stGen (SF/Wo*) knowledge base. A lot of information there, transfers to SF2

OK, I may be very stupid, but it can not handle even according to this manual  

[Wrench 9,876]

it's pretty straight forward...

 

extract the aircraft's data ini from whichever cat file it's in

place said data ini INTO the aircraft's folder..

 

open data ini in notepad, scroll down to the // Crew --- section

 

take note of canopy animation id. in the case below, it's the Shahak 

 

 

[Pilot]

SystemType=PILOT_COCKPIT

PilotModelName=

SetCockpitPosition=TRUE

Position=0.0,3.84,0.50

SeatModelName=seat_F-4

SeatPosition=0.00,3.79,0.02

MinExtentPosition=-0.37, 3.50,-0.47

MaxExtentPosition= 0.37, 4.54, 0.68

CanopyNodeName=canopy_frame_rear

CanopyAnimationID=7

 

scroll back UP to either the Fusealge or Nose section; it dosen't matter which.

Add the SystemName=, following the numerical sequence

 

 

[Nose]

ParentComponentName=Fuselage

ModelNodeName=Fuselage_Front

ShowFromCockpit=FALSE

DamageRating=DESTROYED

MassFraction=0.246

HasAeroCoefficients=FALSE

MinExtentPosition=-0.44, 3.15,-0.70

MaxExtentPosition= 0.44, 7.14, 0.70

CollisionPoint[001]= 0.00, 7.12,-0.36

CollisionPoint[002]= 0.00, 4.01, 0.69

CollisionPoint[003]= 0.00, 4.95,-0.68

SystemName[001]=Pilot

SystemName[002]=NoseGear

SystemName[003]=NoseLight

SystemName[004]=Canopy

 

scroll back down to the // Crew section and add the statement for the, in this case, manualy controlled canopy

 

[Canopy]

SystemType=ANIMATION

InputName=ANIMATION_10

DeploymentMethod=MANUAL

MaxDeploySpeed=20

AnimationTime=3.0

CanopyNodeName=canopy_frame_rear

AnimationID=7

 

make sure the node name and animiation ID match those from the pilot's statements. 

save and close the data ini.

 

When in game, you'll have to set you manual animation keystrokes in the Options --> Controls --> Customize

The input used herein, and by 99.9% of all modders, is Shift/0 (zero)

 

it ain't that hard

[Peeppu 207]

Oh, fantastic! Thank you! It works! Thanks for the tutorial for idiots!  

 

There is also en animation for landing chute?

[Wrench 9,876]

only on those aircraft that have them.

there are NO stock aircraft with drag chutes. Check the readmes of the 3rd party mods for more information

Wrench, many thanks for your support! I love it!
