Crusader

Too many hi-poly lods of aircraft and ground objects .. + hi-res textures .. there will be a point where the game goes CTD. You can test it the easy way by temporarily moving out aircraft and GO's from the folders, this should reduce or eliminate CTDs

It could work with a gunner system, using the pitch and yaw values to rotate the helo into/under the hull. If the helo mesh pivots are usable. Has been done before.

Die ham gequalmt.. und dabei sollen die F-4E/F ja neuere Motoren mit weniger Rauch gehabt ham..

Yep, go for it

Ive never tried it with the F-4, but with the F-5E. The easy way (modifying spring factors etc.) did not work with this model., I experimented with modified on-ground angles and special flap setups ... cant remember if I got it working to how I wanted it to work.

The TW F-14A_Iran has the compressed nosegear strut, used by USN for carrier catapult takeoffs. Just doesnt look right for a land-based F-14... I changed the default values for Spring and Damping factors , that tweak will raise the nose-down angle by ~ 2.4° // Landing Gears --------------------------------------------------------- [NoseGear] ... SpringFactor=7.0 DampingFactor=5.0 ...

Gerwin's TFD tool readme / F1 help menu states that the tool (version 1.01) has a limit of 512 tiles. So you probably maxed out the TFD tools capability.

Bump. Works with SF2 too of course, see the first post in this topic for "how to" rwr-display-on-the-screen-game-hud

While taking the Etendard IVMP / F-4J tanker pics today, I had a problem: no good view of the probe. No "raise the seat" function. One view mod for carrier landings has been made some years ago: I came up with something different - I made the "raise the seat" function. Its really a "lower the cockpit" switch Two ways: Instantly, by use of , e.g, the arresting hook command. Good for carrier planes. Cockpit ini edit: Instrument[XXXXX]=CarrierLandingView [CarrierLandingView] Type=ARRESTING_HOOK_INDICATOR NodeName=Bottom MovementType=POSITION_Z Set[01].Position=0.0 Set[01].Value=0.0 Set[02].Position=-0.04 Set[02].Value=1.0 This section is set up to move the the cockpit down by 4 cm with the hook down. Adjust as required One has to find the top-level mesh name of the cockpit lod, for TW F-4's this is "Bottom" Gradually, by using the thrust vector control command. Allows to adjust the "seat height" through a set range of travel Cockpit ini edit: Instrument[XXXXXXXXXX]=CarrierLandingView2 [CarrierLandingView2] Type=THRUST_VECTOR_CONTROL NodeName=Bottom MovementType=POSITION_Z ValueUnit=DEG Set[01].Position=0.0 Set[01].Value=4.9 Set[02].Position=-0.002 Set[02].Value=5.0 Set[03].Position=-0.040 Set[03].Value=24.0 Example set up for moving the cockpit down 4 cm, in 2 mm steps per degree of thrust vector movement The first 4.9 degree are a dead zone, to prevent "flicking" if the command is used with a joystick lever.

To hide a part/mesh, we use the entry for the destroyed parts - they are hidden by default. Make a new component (with the correct sequential #) entry in the AircraftData section [AircraftData] ... Component[0xxxxxxx]=HideWhatYouWant And then add this (just showing the basics) [HideWhatYouWant] ParentComponentName= DestroyedNodeName=the_name_of_the_part_to_be_hidden

The TW A-7: Cockpit F-14: Object39 You can use the LodViewer tool to view any lod, simply make a ini file in the Aircraft folder (others may work as well) with the correct reference to the lod file. See attached examples. ShowCOCKPIT_A-4F.zip

Very detailed! More a excursion in history rather than gaming

The KF-4J ...

Here is the latest: F-14A_Iran.zip Re-colored lights for the ACM panel and the radio channel indicator texture, all changed from amber to red. To use the textures with the SF2NA F-14A and F-14A_77, remove "_Iran" from the file names. Move or copy the files into the respective cockpit folder(s)
