Hi everyone, how you doing? I will go to the point. I am currently working on an Argentinian skin for Erwin Hans' and InSky's J-10A. I want to modify some aspects, like the HUD. Currently, the mod doesn't have a way to show if the missile is locked on target or not (THE CIRCLES THAT APPEAR ON THE HUD), and I want to modify that.

I tried changing the cockpit.ini and avionics.ini, but I had to replace with the not modified version of the files because I ended up deforming the radar, and the avionics of course.

The plane doesn't have problem when it comes to bombs and cannons, but it has that problem with the missiles. If someone can help me, I will be more than thankful.

Have a nice flight, good hunting!

30. Missing Missile HUD symbology (From Oct 2009)

With version Oct 2009 - If you are missing HUD symbology for missiles on modern 3rd party jets like I was (Tornado F3/MiG-29s/FA-18 etc)then you may need to add some new code to the xxx_avionics.ini

 

[HUD]

HUDMaterial=HUDMaterial <--------- add this

HUDColor=0.36,1.0,0.82,0.7

BoresightOffset=0.0,0.00

ViewportTopLeft=-0.140,-0.195

 

 

 

And all of this below the [HUD] section

 

[HUDMaterial]

EffectShaderName=fltHUD.fx

DepthBufferCheck=FALSE

DepthBufferWrite=FALSE

RenderedInOrder=FALSE

AlphaTestEnabled=TRUE

CullMode=NO_CULL

LightEnabled=FALSE

UseLightLevel=FALSE

SpecularEnabled=FALSE

EmissiveEnabled=FALSE

FogEnabled=FALSE

AmbientColor=1.000000,1.000000,1.000000,1.000000

DiffuseColor=1.000000,1.000000,1.000000,1.000000

ZBufferOffset=0

PriorityLevel=1

BlendOp=BLEND_SRC_ALPHA

NumTextureStages=1

TextureStage[01].TextureName=

TextureStage[01].MipMap=FALSE

TextureStage[01].FilterEnabled=TRUE

TextureStage[01].StageColorOp=TEXTURE_MODULATE_DIFFUSE

TextureStage[01].StageAlphaOp=TEXTURE_MODULATE_DIFFUSE

      This is a complete overhaul of Foxmonters Pulqui II, it is a relativley old model, so there are a few minor issues with the skin, ie, it was designed for SF1 I think, and as there are zero templates available, I had to make my own, and try and figure out wher bits an pieces are supposed to go. Anyhow, I have completely reworked the skins, new panels and rivets, updated the engine and flight characterisics ( I used the engine and flight stats from the Venom) I have replaced the frankly bloody awful cockpit with the one from the Mystere V, which I think is actually the F84 pit. The aircraft now has drop tanks from the Vampire, I was going to add other weapons, but as there are no pylons for this model, and I did NOT want to use the "fake pilot" method, is is purely a gun armed bird. 
      There are  6 new skins, 2 Argentine, camo and NMF, 2 Egyptian again camo and NMF 1 Dutch example in green over blue, and finally a Dhimari recce bird in NMF with a sand upper fuselage. I have not redone the Argentine prototype aircraft, as I think it looks crap, so if you want that skin, get the original aircraft, and revell in its utter ugliness   The orginal also had a Parani skin, but I feel that it would be more likely for Dhimar to use this aircraft, as it is not a WARPAC plane, also the Egyptian, and Dutch aircraft are the only other skins  I have done as no one else actually ordered the Pulqui ( although the orders wer ultimately cancelled, so they ARE what if skins )
      I have included an alternative pit, the one from the Vampire, however, you will have to piddle around with it, as the view of the wings from the cockpit seat is rather dreadful, but it's there if you wish to use it insted of the Mystere pit. all the decals have been re done,  and of course are included in the package, I have applied spurious stencilling in various places on the airframe, however they are in Polish ( I think ) as I lifted them from the Mig-15, but hey its only window dressing right !!! The sounds are also included, make sure to ammend you soundlist.ini so they work. So read the read me file and the add to soundlist files and you should be frosty. 
      I have just notiiced I forgot to include the sound for the Gun in the Sounds folder, even though I did put it on the soundlist.ini addition. so please add the sound file attached below.
      Any questions please feel free to message me.
      As always............................ENJOY

      View File SF2 Avionics Community Pack (SF2: ACP) - Beta
      ----------------------------------------------------------
      STRIKE FIGHTER 2: AVIONICS COMMUNITY PACK (SF2: ACP) v0.4
      ----------------------------------------------------------
      Welcome to SF2: ACP first release of alpha.  Before I explain about the pack, I want to express big thank to the wonderful communities and modders of Combatace and Combat Flight Sim Tavern (Discord), including Thirdwire for the simulation.
      You all are the reasons why this pack exists.  I want to use the passions to improve SF2 into next level with avionics.
      This requires a lot of research, reading flight manual, and tons of tweaking the texture, and avionics and cockpit ini, along with countless of testing in-flight in SF2.
      The mods is not perfect, we do our best with the mods.  We do it with the joys of our hobbies!
      This pack includes the following features:
      - New gunsight / optical sight
      - New texture for radar, RWR, and another avionic equipment
      - Improved cockpit and radar through cockpit and avionics ini tweaks for semi-realism (See note #2)
      - Improves glass texture (If possible)
      - Accessibility - Optional, includes the AAM firing cue on gunsight for people who can not hear the sounds of missile locking on targets.
      - Improved night lights inside cockpits
      - Tweaks to the view angle around cockpit
      NOTE #1: As mentioned in note #1, due to little resources (Information / data) on early cold war era radar, at least half or most of tweaks are based on an educated guess. For exampe, AN/APG-33 radar that is used with E-1 FCS in F-89B and C, there are some data on it, but no data on elevator nor azimuth angle limitation.  

      ----------------------------------------------------------
      ----------------- HISTORICAL VS FICTIONAL ----------------
      ----------------------------------------------------------
      Avionics overhaul for Historical vs fictional aircraft
      I am dong overhaul for both historical and 'what if' fictional aircraft.
      For example, in this alpha version, there are avionics overhaul for F-8A to F-8K, along with France F_8s.  It also includes 'what if' JASDF F-8EJ Crusader. 
      ----------------------------------------------------------
      ---------------------- INSTALLATION ----------------------
      ----------------------------------------------------------
      There are readme inside each aircraft folder, please read the instruction to install the mods.
      NOTE: There is a folder "_OPTIONAL - RWR", by default, RWR always have texture.  If you want TW style version of RWR, you can replace the RWR with the provided RWR texture from that folder.
      ----------------------------------------------------------
      ------------- GUNSIGHT / OPTICAL SIGHT SYSTEM ------------
      ----------------------------------------------------------
      The new version of SF - CAP now have new gun system (texture and MILs)
      From now on, all guns have texture of 512 x 512, which is 150 MILs.
      In order, to use the new gunsight / optical sight, you MUST set MILs to 150 in cockpit.ini or ImageSize=0.2025 in avionics (HUD)
      When I created the optical sights, I measured the MILs of gunsight by pixels
      For example
      512 pixel width is 150 MILs
      For example:
      For 100 / 50 / 25 MILs, it is 341 / 171 / 85 pixels

      ----------------------------------------------------------
      ------------------- TEMPLATES SITUATION ------------------
      ----------------------------------------------------------
      Due to steer size of projects, I am more focused on creating texturs for avionics overhaul.  It is taking a lot of my time and I rather to focus and finish the projects in time.
      Therefore, from SF - CAP v0.4 onward, it no longer have TEMPLATE folder. And to add, with the new gunsight / optical sight, it requires new templates too.
      However, if any of you want the templates for certain aircraft's avoinics, you can contact me by posting in SF - CAP thread or PM me in CombatAce.
      I can clean up the mess in the templates and send it to you to use for modding SF2.
