F-102A Delta Dagger Cockpit (Field Modified) V.5
ordway replied to ordway's topic in File Announcements
I made an error in my cockpit file for V.4 and forgot to include the F-102A artificial horizon-it's just the old F-106 one now in the old version V.4. I just updated it and included it in the new version 5 (V.5). V.5 I now included the very specific F-102A artificial horizon this time with gray-blue top, gray markings, black bottom with blue markings which I left out in V.4 by mistake. If you compared the photo with the current F-102A artificial horizon, you can probably see the difference. -

Wow thanks Lexx_Luthor, good job! This adds a nice airplane into the missing gaps section.

Yes, keeping it might be good. I wonder what would have happened if a Warsaw Pact (WP) Nato central front campaign had opened and some F-102s were present? F-102s would have inevitably been tangling with WP fighters and there would have been immediate pressure like in Viet Nam to add a gun. Apparently, the F-106's 20MM was added without much problem to the F-106. F-4s in Viet Nam got the 20MM pods pretty fast too. With the actual ad hoc unofficial F-102 having at least a SUU-11/A minigun added in Viet Nam (according to at least one photo), I bet if a central front had stalemated long enough, pilots would have been tempted to add a gun real fast.

Well, when I grew up in Virgina, two of my parents friends disappeared without a trace on their yacht in the Bermuda Triangle. Really nasty for the poor kids who were left behind...maybe a rogue wave? The sea was never safe. When I flew by small charter aircraft (Aero commander) to the Island of Eleuthera in the 1970s, the pilot told me that their magnetic compasses sometimes became unreliable in the area...magnetic rocks or something in the area. Well, if the discovery channel ever publishes their famous methane-sinking ship by negative buoyancy experiments in peer-reviewed journals, that would be interesting. Personally, I think there are probably natural reasons for the Bermuda Triangle issues. I was in the scientific field for 12 years and still think there are things out there that we don't understand or can detect yet. I know mainstream science is still playing with gravity force problems which don't make sense such as why it is such a weak force, if I understand correctly.

F-102A Delta Dagger Cockpit (Field Modified) V.5
ordway replied to ordway's topic in File Announcements
Version V4 is now uploaded and probably my final one. I added the huge signature red/orange Nav light in the middle of the F-102 panel. I made the artificial horizon more F-102A color and markings specific. I made the radio nav instrument more F-102A color and markings specific. Enjoy! -

I am adding an AC voltmeter and master warning test and reset switch which some photos show and secondly more detail to the warning light panel. These changes are in version 3 (the V3 edition). These should be up tomorrow. This version is now available for download.

F-102A Delta Dagger Cockpit (Field Modified) V.5
ordway replied to ordway's topic in File Announcements
I just added some more items to version 3 of the F-102 cockpit by adding an AC voltmeter, a test reset switch and added more details to the warning panel switch all in the lower right-hand section of the cockpit. Why so many versions?...I never originally intended this for public release about a year ago, but instead for my own "interim" F-102A I had built (minus the exterior model just using the F-106 exterior model). Slowly, the cockpit and aircraft grew in detail and accuracy over the months, as things do, and then was publicly needed with Veltro's beautiful F-102A release. So out it came. -

These F-102A loading screens were made by me about a year before Velto2K released his fantastic F-102A. These have a more original Third Wire look. Richard "Pitts 2A" Ordway Instructions: 1. Unzip contents. 2. Just dump the contents into Veltro2Ks F-102 folder and that's it. 3. Say yes to overwrite the files. 4. Remember to backup your files. Enjoy! -

The F-102 cockpit is back up for download in the jet cockpits section. You just dump the files contents into your F-102 folder and say yes to "do you want to overwrite files" questions. Remember to back up first. Link: http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=8719

I uploaded the dedicated F-102 Cockpit again this morning Wednesday, April 15. In the new version, I added credit to Pasko instead of Dave (my goof) and added the ability to slightly see the wingtips from the cockpit (thanks to Lexx_Luthor). Otherwise it is the same. I do not know why it is not up yet.

F-102A Delta Dagger Cockpit (Field Modified) V.5
ordway replied to ordway's topic in File Announcements
I fixed it and rereleased it and uploaded a second time this morning (Wednesday 15). I don't know why it is not up yet. However, there is almost no difference between the first version and second versions except giving credit to Pasko instead of Dave (my goof) and now you can just see the wingtips from the cockpit (thanks to Lexx_luthor) where you couldn't before. -
Here is a side by side, errr top to bottom, comparison of the released ordway F-102A cockpit and Pasko's beautiful F-106 cockpit. One looks like a space shuttle and the other like....a 1950s cockpit.

These issues are now resolved and uploaded in V.2 for both the F-102 flight model and cockpit. Thanks to Lexx_Luthor and Dave.
-
Thanks! I will change these.

Thanks. I'll change it.

New modded F-102A Cockpit was uploaded. It is based on (EDIT Pasko's) F-106 cockpit with rounded gages being used instead of tapes, no moving map and other graphical changes. Several color photos were used as a base.

This is an alternate flight model I developed about a year before the F-102A Delta Dagger was released by Veltro2K. It is based on Pasko's F-106 flight model, but modified in deliberate ways. I used Mirage 3 flight models as a guide as well as it is underpowered and has that huge hanging delta. Thanks to Pasko for his incredible F-106 flight model. Full instructions in the read me Enjoy! -

This is a field-modified Convair F-102A Delta Dagger cockpit for Veltro2k's beautiful F-102A based on Pasko's F-106 stunning cockpit. It has been modified over time by crews in the field as newer equipment came in and older equipment broke down and needed to be replaced. Apparently historically after time, almost no two F-102A cockpits had the same equipment in the same places as the others. This is based on Pasko's beautiful later Convair F-106A Delta Dart Cockpit. Tape gages were eliminated. Round gages were added. The moving map was removed and the radar display was changed and made a historically correct orange. The radar hood was made into a F-102A version. Lots of other detail work done was from actual color cockpit photos. It is much "greyer" and simpler than the later F-106A cockpit. Thanks to Pasko for his fantastic F-106 cockpit included in the complete later F-106A Delta Dart that you can download at CombatAce. If I forgot anyone, I appologize and please tell me. I finished this cockpit about a year before the Veltro2k F-102A was released and I lost track of things. Apparently some USAAF Viet Nam pilots jury-rigged a mini-gun into the F-102 for some extra buzz. Version History: V.2 You can now see the wing tips and wing tanks from the cockpit...thanks for Lexx_luthor's suggestion Thanks to Dave to point out the goof I made that it was Pasko's F-106 cockpit and not Dave's that I based the model on. V.3 Added to the bottom right instrument panel: 1) an AC voltmeter and 2) a master warning test and reset switch which some photos show and 3) more detail to the warning light panel as per color cockpit photos making it even more different than the standard F-106 cockpit. V.4 Added the huge signature F-102A red nav indicator light to the middle of the panel. Changed the colors of the artificial horizon to F-102 specific colors and markings. Changed the colors of the Radio direction instrument to F-102 specific colors and markings. This is probably the final version. V.5 I now included the very specific F-102A artificial horizon this time with gray-blue top, gray markings, black bottom with blue markings which I left out in V.4 by mistake. If you compared the photo with the current F-102A artificial horizon, you can probably see the difference. A visual thread showing these additions: http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?showtopic=39881 =========== Instructions: 1-Backup your files! 2- Unzip the F-102 cockpit to ...SFP1ObjectsAircraftF-102A. 3-When prompted, overwrite the files. Enjoy! NOT FOR PAYWARE USE IN ANY WAY
