In case I understood your "sam-lite" wrong, just ignore this. :)

 

I found my mistake also onthis...but to be more specific...

Type=THREAT_GROUND_RADAR_WARNING_LIGHT

its in dll but looks like its not working...

 

Type=THREAT_LAUNCH_WARNING_LIGHT  => refer to any launch agains player aircraft...

Hi Yakarov,

Digital_Display entry is used for digital counters. You will need separate mesh for each digit, like single digit, 10, 100, 1000 or depend on the type of instrument you want it to use that. 

 

Naming as an example:

Chaff_dig1 = single (last number)
Chaff_dig2 = 10-s
Chaff_dig3 = 100-s
 
 
Mapping is simple, it only have to cover the first number, its usually 0. and this is the exact layout. The game engine is built such a way that it will always make 5 steps to the right in 2 vertical positions (2 rows only) with the texture. so it will limit how big you can make the number on the skin.

You can set any instruments that displays numbers as digital_display, like, heading, chaf/flare/weapon/ripple counter/interval, fuel quantity, altimeter, speed, etc..

the bellow shows what I have for the M4k mirrors. So wherever you place them on the UVW they will show those areas or certain overlaps in case of multiple meshes. Only they will show a bit above rear view, never perfect side image like on the cars/trucks, that part is probably coded in.

well after some trial and error on rh-53, I've finally managed to have in the mirror what should be...

It depends where uvw is placed. In case map is square - divide it into 9 parts...and then where uvw of a specific mirror is placed...then it will show certain area. In my case lower right corner of the square. And of course proper scale also matters.

or like in this Harrier in left you can see left wing no center and right little center little right wing....

I need some help here from our pit experts, working on the Sea Harrier FA2 pit.

Is there a way to make the 5 weapons station selector switches use-able more than once? Seing as we can hang differing weapons on any particular pylon, I've tried all kinds of entries but cant get any of them to work for more than once.

If I were to set them as:

[PortOuterPylonSW]
Type=WEAPON_TYPE_ID
NodeName=LOuter_Arm
MovementType=ROTATION_X
Set[01].Position=30.0
Set[01].Value=0
Set[02].Position=0.0
Set[02].Value=1
ItemNumber=1
 

What would be the best way to set up the value and position entries? I'm guessing Value= would be my weapon, and Position= is the angle of the switch?

Do I still need the ItemNumber entry?

Or am I just wasting my time??? I was trying all sorts of stuff a few weeks back until my little brain could take no more....:stars:

Any help would help this thing see the light of day.

Yes you can.

here is from *.out file of one of cobra  pits.

 

Armament_Control-Panel [270 polys, 280 verts] '14 - Default'
                SwitchWeapons [85 polys, 111 verts] '23 - Default'
                Selector_Weapons [138 polys, 178 verts] '16 - Default'
                SwitchesWeapon [288 polys, 356 verts] '23 - Default'
                Switch_L-Wing-out [2 polys, 4 verts] '18 - Default'
                    Switch_L-Zuni-out [2 polys, 4 verts] '18 - Default'
                        SwitchARM1 [66 polys, 70 verts] '23 - Default'                          -  THIS is switch that is really swich - both above are just invisible nodes assigned to specific stations.
                Switch_R-Wing-out [2 polys, 4 verts] '18 - Default'
                    Switch_R-Zuni-out [2 polys, 4 verts] '18 - Default'
                        SwitchARM4 [66 polys, 70 verts] '23 - Default'
                Switch_L-Wing-gp [2 polys, 4 verts] '18 - Default'
                    Switch_L-Wing-in [2 polys, 4 verts] '18 - Default'
                        Switch_L-Zuni-in [2 polys, 4 verts] '18 - Default'
                            SwitchARM2 [66 polys, 70 verts] '23 - Default'
                Switch_R-Wing-gp [2 polys, 4 verts] '18 - Default'
                    Switch_R-Wing-in [2 polys, 4 verts] '18 - Default'
                        Switch_R-Zuni-in [2 polys, 4 verts] '18 - Default'
                            SwitchARM3 [66 polys, 70 verts] '23 - Default'

 

and in cocpit ini file it works likr this:

[weaponStationL3]
Type=WEAPON_STATION_SELECTOR
NodeName=Switch_L-Wing-out
MovementType=ROTATION_Z
Set[01].Position=0.0
Set[01].Value=0
Set[02].Position=-30.0
Set[02].Value=1
ItemNumber=2   - weapon station IDnumber

[WpnSt_ZuniOut-L]
Type=WEAPON_STATION_SELECTOR
NodeName=Switch_L-Zuni-out
MovementType=ROTATION_Z
Set[01].Position=0.0
Set[01].Value=0
Set[02].Position=-30.0
Set[02].Value=1
ItemNumber=4  - weapon station IDnumber

 

meaning make 'switch node'that is visible in pit and is moving in pit...but it is last child in node tree...where nodes higher in the hierarchy are responsible for moving switch depending on weapons station used...

Hi all!

I'm a bit late on SF2 modding. I wonder that nobody made a RWR mod for the Harrier Gr.3? Hoping for some reply :)

check the mega installs . NATO Fighters 5 would be a good start point i think.

Gents, I´m trying very hard to turn the MiG-25 cockpit (Su-15 one) into MiG-25R recce version. I took off the gunsight but my main problem is to convert the radar screen into a moving map pattern. 

Any clue????

      Hi,
      after seeing the TMF F-14 has wrong and inaccurate speed and fuel indicators, i found out the default Third Wire F-14 has working and accurate ones, but i dont wanna use it cause the TMF Tomcat is better and the cockpit too more realistic too, so can you switch the speed and fuel indicators on the TMF F-14 with the default Third Wire F-14? And for fuel too? Do you need to 3D model and/or do something else other than edit some text files?
       And is it or it's not possible to do?
      Down here are 2 pictures from the correct cockpit in the default Third Wire F-14:


      And 2 from the TMF F-14 (the inaccurate one):


       
      Thanks for helping.

      Hi everyone,
      I just noticed that the speed indicator in the F-14 Tomcat by TMF (TheMirageFactory) only shows up to 800 kts, and the Mach indicator does not move, not letting you know the speed of the aircraft if you have your HUD turned off.
      As you can see down here, i'm at Mach 2.23, but the indicator only shows 800 kts and doesn't go above. Obviously it adapts to my altitude, so if i'm higher, then the IAS is lower, but still should move, making it impossible flying at high speed without HUD turned on as i have it down here:

      Another issue, maybe even worse than the previous one, is that the fuel indicator shows wrong numbers, or as i may think, it shows "a number less". For example: if i have 20000 pounds of fuel left, it should show 20000, but it shows 02000. This is a theory on how it works, not confirmed, and i'm gonna explain you why i think it is like that:
      I hardly think i truly have 2000 pounds of fuel left, cause i choose Fuel 100% and tried climbing and flying for a long time with full afterburner, and the numbers slowly started going down, even reached the point of burning the engine at Mach 2.30and the fuel wasn't gone yet, it showed i had like 00700 left, so i presume it's 20000 in reality, otherwise i would have been out of fuel in no time, since it's a quantity even under the bingo quantity, but i flew for minutes and minutes in full afterburner, and at 8x speed, so. Speaking of Bingo, there's no bingo indicator.
      Here's a picture of the fuel indicator:

      I tried the default F-14 cockpit, and even if that one shows correctly both speed and fuel indicators and even if it's a great cockpit, i personally like more and find more realistic and immersive the TMF one.
      In the end, since these two indicators are crucial, especially for flying without HUD, and the fuel indicator especially, since there's no way to know how much fuel you have left even with HUD turned on other than the cockpit indicator.
      So, what i'm asking is:
      Is there a way to fix these? A mod that remakes the indicators? Or another cockpit that is not the default one that i can use to swap this one?
      Thanks in advance for helping me.

      Hi everyone!
      after few miles of scrolling .INI files and testing everything on the game
      FINALY:
      " Cockpit Shadows " !!
      --!  enabling process is same for each plane  ! --
      --!  enabling process should apply on each plane you like to have cockpit shadows on 'em  ! --
      --!  Be Advised !: This "Cockpit Shadows" has some little BUGs so we all should work on it together to make it better  !-- 
      It's better than nothing :D
       
      * Q: How to enable Cockpit Shadows?
      - A: All you need to do is to make a .INI file with the same name and right at the place your chosen plane cockpit 3D file ( .LOD ) is located.
      Example: 
      !! [  Cockpit file are located at the folder with the same name (most of the times)  ] !!
      SHO to Viper team F-16 BLK 30 to act like a test plane 

      here the plane's Cockpit 3D model is the LOD file named " Cockpit_F-16C_B30.LOD " and above of that, our personally made .INI file;
      Now
      Inside the .INI file we should drop this :
       
      [Shadow]
      CastShadow=TRUE
      ShadowCastDist=5000
      MaxVisibleDistance=800 
      -------------------------------------------------
      * you are free to change the numbers  
      -------------------------------------------------
       
      here's an example file which you have to change it's name to the plane's cockpit file name !
      plane's cockpit file name.INI
       
      *with this simple trick you can enable shadows for every .LOD file.
      feel free to ask.
       
       alexis99 thanks for that little help
       
      sorry for bad English :)
      hope ya'll enjoy!
      one love.
       
       
      plane's cockpit file name.INI

      Would it be possible to put a photograph in your cockpit? Often pilots are shown to have a photo of a loved one inside their cockpit attached to the dashboard to remind them of home, give them inspiration, etc. Would it be possible to stick one in a cockpit through some kind of texture edit or something?

      View File Simple Cockpit - Fly the unflyable aircrafts
      This mods allows you to fly the following aircraft (doesn't include all the variants);
      Many thanks to Trevisol for making the mod and sending me the file with his permission to download
      A-1 A-6 AN-12 B-57 F-104 E-2C EA-6B F-84F IL-28 J-6 MIG-15 MIG-17 MIG-19 MIG-21 MIG-23 MIG-27 Mirage 5 Spitfire SU-7 TU-16 TU-22 TU-95 Vampire Vautour YAK-23 YAK-38 This mod is just a simple addon that adds a few pre existing cockpit into a lot of aircraft that was not allowed for the player to use, only the AI.
      Since it's lightweight, it use the already included cockpits of the F-8, P-51, Mirage and a few other aircraft, with a couple of changes here and there;
