Radar symbol issues: Off center (Need help)

[+Eagle114th 827]

Hello everyone,

I am still puzzled why the radar symbol seem off centered.  Here is screenshot of F-4EJ KAI's radar screen:

The Acquisition symbol seem not to align with the target blips eiither.  The new radar texture is created in 1024 x 1024 resolution.  Updated the .ini files to ensure the game sees it as 1024 x 1024 radar texture:

you need to add ViewportTextureSize=1024  like i did it below , its from the F-4D cockpits , and dont forget to change the TVDisplayData as well 

 

[RadarDisplay]
ViewportTextureSize=1024
FadeImageIntensity=0.3
TargetFadeTime=1.00
ImageFadeTime=0.30
SweepIntensity=0.4

 

[TVDisplayData]
UseRadarTexture=TRUE
DisplayLimitLeft=16
DisplayLimitRight=1008
DisplayLimitTop=16
DisplayLimitBottom=1008
ApplyFilter=TRUE
FilterMaterial=DTVFilterMaterial
OverlayTexture=F-4D_DTV.tga

Hello Ravenclaw_007,

Thank you for the advice!

I recently tried that, it still does not work.   I am re-checking ot see if I am missing anything else.  For this situation, I am using avioniccs70 instead of 60.

the entries you show are for avionics60, so if you have called avionics70 in main.ini, there is something wrong.

Thank you for pointing thjis out, just went to check TMF F-4EJ KAI's ini and here is what I found:

[AircraftData]
AircraftFullName=JASDF - F-4EJ KAI Phantom II, 1984 -TMF-
AircraftDataFile=F-4EJ_Kai_data.ini
CockpitDataFile=F-4EJKAI_cockpit.ini

LoadoutFile=F-4EJKAI_loadout.ini
AvionicsDLL=Avionics70.dll

Looks like I am using avionics70.dll.
