Fuel bug in F-105 WoV?

Recommended Posts

Hello all,

I found disappointing bug with quantity of fuel (wrong quantity) in default F-105D "Thud" from "Wings over Vietnam" v07.05.05. You can see it on the screen below.

 

Anyone solved this problem?

I'm sure that it's been commented on before I think that the F-4 does the same iirc).

I can't remember if it's just a disconnect in the .ini so that the guages don't work but you have the fuel or 1 that means that the game doesn't see the fuel.

I don't remember ever running out of fuel on an F-105 mission though so I guess the first.

YoYo,

 

take a look here :

;)

 

LOL :lol:

 

It works now! Big THX !!! (still only interior fuel, it adds missing 4th tank, but now is better ;) )

 

 

 

I think The Game see external tanks, only gouges don't work. I suppose here is the problem (from cocpit.ini of F-105):

 

 

...

Instrument[017]=TankFuelGauge1

Instrument[018]=TankFuelGauge2

Instrument[019]=TankFuelGauge3

...

 

and

 

...

 

[TankFuelGauge1]

Type=EXTERNAL_FUEL_QUANTITY_INDICATOR

NodeName=needle_fuel02

ItemNumber=3

MovementType=ROTATION_Y

ValueUnit=LB

Set[01].Position=0.0

Set[01].Value=0.0

Set[02].Position=-104.0

Set[02].Value=3000.0

 

[TankFuelGauge2]

Type=EXTERNAL_FUEL_QUANTITY_INDICATOR

NodeName=needle_fuel03

ItemNumber=4

MovementType=ROTATION_Y

ValueUnit=LB

Set[01].Position=0.0

Set[01].Value=0.0

Set[02].Position=104.0

Set[02].Value=3000.0

 

[TankFuelGauge3]

Type=EXTERNAL_FUEL_QUANTITY_INDICATOR

NodeName=needle_fuel04

ItemNumber=5

MovementType=ROTATION_Y

ValueUnit=LB

Set[01].Position=-0.0

Set[01].Value=0.0

Set[02].Position=100.0

Set[02].Value=3000.0

 

....

 

 

And some of my screenies of "Thud":

the problem with the drop tank's is this line :

ItemNumber=x

the game engine doesnt recongnize the individual tanks. I tested it.

you can rem out the line (put a ; or // in front of it) and the needles will show

the fuel of all droptanks at once

 

TK is working on it.

What directory should these be in? I don't seem to have them in my copy of WOV.

for stock aircraft you will need to extract them from the cat file using the extraction utility in the downloads section.

Thanks!

 

I thought it might be something like that, but didn't know for certain.
