Hello everyone,

Here is new (WIP) radar scope for MG-10 used in F-102A:


I am still re-adjsuting the darkness level so the actual radar is readable.  I am happy with how it come out.

Hello everyone,

It have been busy days, finally got to work on F-102A's MG-3 and MG-10 radar scope as well enabling the gunsight on folding reflector glass.  there will be two versions, one without radar scope hoods and another without it.

For now, here is version without radar scope hoods:

Hello everyone,

The optical sight have been re-sized and re-adjusted after more research.

Heloe everyone,

F-106's new radar scope is still WIP.  After learning that F-106A uses MA-1 FCS and AN/ASQ-25 radar, the radar scope is made of DVST.  That means the background is dark withi green outlines

NOTE: I am unable to find what the layout looks like when radar is turend on..  The only source I can find is from DCS while I am continuing to look for more informatio.  The youtube only show a litle of F-106 radar scope. I do not know if the layout that is created is accurate or not.  I do my best everyday  I hope that someday will find the picture and will re-work on the radar layout / scheme.

UPDATE:
Screenshots removed because the modders sent me the information on F-106's radar scope. The new texture is being worked on.

New optical sight for F-106

I am not sure if this is exacltya ccurate, but it was found from one of youtube video about F-106.  And I thought it is fitting with current F-106's cockpit.  If there is an accurate F-106 cockpits being made, I am more than happy to include it in SF2 - ACP pack  with updated avionics.

Hello everyone!

With support from DTMDragon and KJakker,

The cockpits is from the work of DTMDragon, along with the newt optical sight, radar scope, and modified view position..  The radar scope texture and layout are remade from scratch.  There are two versions of F-106A cockpit; One with deployed opitcal sight and one without it.





Here is a closer view of raadar scope:



ANd this is also one of reason why I created the new thread.  I request someone 's help with this situation.
 

I wish everyone a great day!

This is amazing, excellent!

I 'd suggest to do a repaint of the F-106A cockpit to bring it up to stock TW standards - now as it is the textures still look as stock SFP1 standard from 2006...also the polygon of the radar scope should be made a real circle at last...I am making this suggestion because as we have seen with the F-89 cockpit you really did a marvelous job, so you can be really good working on textures.

as that's the F-106 pit by Pasko, "smoothing polys" was not a thing back then (expecially on his work)

Didn't Eagle use Stary's F-94 pit for Scorpion?

Hello Wrench,

Yes that is correct, I am using Stary's excellent F-89 cockpits for F-89B / C / D / H/ J with different radar scop eand optical sight, along with tweaked avioincs and cockpit.ini ffiles.

Hello FANATIC MODDER,

Thank you for feedback!  Unfortunately, I am not one who creates 3D cockpits.  I wish that there are new cockpits for each aircraft in SF2, which would take a while to create. All I can do is edit the texture that is included in each cockpits, along with tweaked .ini fiiles.

I am continuing to explore and figure out how to do more modding via ini files tweaking.
