F-4E_79_Pave_Spike cockpit

[+ravenclaw_007 8,093]

i´m almost done with the F-4E_79_Pave_Spike  cockpit and like to share some pictures

 

it took me quite some time to get the LOS ( Line Of Sight ) indicator working , what i did now is to set the LOS needle to work only with LGB bombs and use the roll and pitch limits form the F-4E weapons delivery manual

to get the LOS indicator working right we would need a roll and pitch function with regards to the target , since we dont have that i use the ROLL_INDICATOR and PITCH_INDICATOR function 

the green , yellow and red flags work now as they should  except if you fly a looping , at the top of the looping the lights start working where the should not work will see if i can fix that

i will update the F-4D_78 cockpit and Buccaneer cockpit with the LOS indicator function 

• LOS green flag = 30° - 65° pitch
• LOS yellow flag = 65° - 70° pitch
• LOS Red flag = 70° - 180° pitch
• LOS needle = -110°  to 160° roll

Hello

Just my 2 cents :

I would say the roll needle should move the other way. On the screenshot you're rolling to the right.

Anyway great cockpit and fine crafted instruments !

hahaha.... i wish i could do that , i try the  WAY_CMD_YAW and the ROLL_INDICATOR and with both it moves in that direction  , i was playing with the entries but no possitive result so far  

the game has its limits and i´m trying to push this limits as far as possible but sometimes i have to surrender to the game engine , i´m happy that i got the needle working some how

I'm sure it can be done. Sometimes the values must be re-organised (ascending or descending) but there's no way the game can decide if it's right or wrong.

if you like to try be my guest , i have played with the entries and i did not get the result i wanted , i even changed the zero possition from the needle 

 

one thing i found out is that the minus value gets the needle moving to the right and a positive value gets it moving to the left , you cant change that

[LOS_Indicator]
Type=ROLL_INDICATOR
NodeName=Needle_LOS
MovementType=ROTATION_Y
ValueUnit=DEG
Set[01].Position=-100.0
Set[01].Value=-100.0
Set[02].Position=0.0
Set[02].Value=0.0
Set[03].Position=160.0
Set[03].Value=160.0

 

the minus value has to be called first than the zero position and than the positive value , if you reverse it the needle will not move anymore within the limits

 

i also rotated the pivot point of the needle by 180° , no change

i added an other light to the digital fuel indicator , there are 2 lights on the bottom the first is ERR the second FTR , i assume that FTR stands for fuel transfer , since the game emptys first the drop tanks i added the FTR light to the indicator , the light gos off when the drop tanks are empty

Why you use the shoot lights for A/G weapons in range? I don't seen this before for any F-4E,they added voice warning system at 1980-90 for F-4Es,you can use a voice for A/G weapons in range.

i´m using the WEAPON_SHOOT_CUE function for the shoot lights , as i mention above the game has its limits and not everything is possible 

there are 2 options for this Shoot Lights , the RADAR_IN_RANGE_INDICATOR function and WEAPON_SHOOT_CUE function , the first one works only for radar guided missiles the second for all weapons , so far i have not found any way to limit the  WEAPON_SHOOT_CUE function to only work with air to air weapons , i wish i cult , the reason i´m using this particular function is that it works with IR guided and radar guided missiles like it should 

when the game was developed this kind of cockpits was not even considered , i´m trying to get this cockpits to work with the few functions the game gives me and i'm not perfect either , i´m still learning every day something new about this game

Did you test if 'RADAR_IN_RANGE_INDICATOR' functions for an IRM missile WITH a radar lock on?

nope , i think in the case of using the IR missile you are to close and you use the boresight mode to lock on 

but i still have an animation slot and cult make the shoot lights only to show up with air to air missiles by using the Weapont_Type_Selector function , this way everybody can select by them selves for what weapon they like to use the shoot lights , if they know how to edit the entry that is

for ARM missiles the shoot light cult be very useful , this way you know that you have a radar in range and the weapon is locked on

Agreed, especially with the F-4G
