Mirage IIIEP "interesting thing to know" (or not) (Delta Fact) : only the first four EP's had the nav computer and doppler radar installed. The other EP's retained the (empty) doppler housing.

erikgen's G.91R.4 with a Portuguese Anti-Missile Green paint skin... 121.Esq."Tigers".. high over Desert 4. Old mods... with ugly shadow ray (unfortunately..) at certain angles .

File Name: T-45C Avionics + Cockpit File Submitter: Crusader File Submitted: 25 January 2016 File Category: Avionics T-45C avionics mod For use with T-45A http://combatace.com/files/file/11915-t-45a-goshawk-for-sf2/ and the updated T-45A lod (dated 03.03.2012) for it http://combatace.com/files/file/12720-hawk-t1a-and-t45-fixes7z/ Or to make a stand-alone T-45C from it.

Good to see you still around Trooper :)

With LodViewer, you can copy and paste the co-ords and node names too. Simply click on the desired co-ords/node name in the list and use the standard CTRL+C to copy it... CTRL+V to insert into the data ini or elsewhere. To copy XYZ position, move the mouse over a mesh to the desired point, then mouse left-click followed by CTRL+C .. etc..

They too... Its a French pod. The CT2 ( Conteneur Technique 2 ) Used by France (Vautour IIB, probably), Pakistan ( CT2A on 10 of the MIIIEP ), Libya (CT2D on M5D) and Israel (named "Yabelet", on Vautour IIN #70 + another IIN, special modification) Used to counter SA-2 systems, operating in 2-4 or up to 6 GHz frequency. Noise jammer.

Yep, just leave it "live" for a week or so... The latest inis (April 2013) have only one dispenser for 30 chaff and no chaff control box in the F Ahit cockpit. (All A-4's with ALE-29 dispensers should have 2 dispenser , the other was placed immediately to the right and aft of the tailhook mounting...) ECM box and spoiler light is in. A-4E_AHIT - nothing A-4E_AHIT_73 - ECM box, Chaff box (data has 2x 30 chaff), no spoilers, uses A-4H_Ahit_73_cockpit A-4H_AHIT - spoiler light only A-4H_AHIT_68 - spoiler light only A-4H_AHIT_70 - spoiler light only A-4H_AHIT_73 - spoiler light, ECM box, Chaff box (data has 2x 30 chaff)

And we continue... Moved the chaff control box up a little bit, into a more correct place according to reference photos Updated A-4F_74_Cockpit ini which includes all the other edits: A-4F_74_COCKPIT.zip All the edits can be applied to other TW Skyhawk cockpits who have the spoilers, ECM and Chaff boxes.

Guess the game simply adds it to the available stores list due to incorrect export/availability settings of the missile and it matches to one of the Allowed Weapon Classes or fits station limit parameters .. nothing to worry about :D

Checked Controls menu, throttle assignment ?

Small change I made a while ago ( in 2012 ..) to bring the bombs per second selector in sync with the intervals in the list, I think the original setup had the selector going backwards. In the A-1 cockpit ini, find the IntervalSelectorKnob section and replace it with the updated section : [IntervalSelectorKnob] Type=RIPPLE_INTERVAL NodeName=Interval_Knob MovementType=ROTATION_Y Set[01].Position=315.0 Set[01].Value=50.0 Set[02].Position=295.0 Set[02].Value=55.0 Set[03].Position=275.0 Set[03].Value=63.0 Set[04].Position=255.0 Set[04].Value=71.0 Set[05].Position=235.0 Set[05].Value=83.0 Set[06].Position=215.0 Set[06].Value=100.0 Set[07].Position=200.0 Set[07].Value=111.0 Set[08].Position=185.0 Set[08].Value=125.0 Set[09].Position=170.0 Set[09].Value=143.0 Set[10].Position=150.0 Set[10].Value=167.0 Set[11].Position=130.0 Set[11].Value=200.0 Set[12].Position=103.5 Set[12].Value=250.0 Set[13].Position=75.0 Set[13].Value=286.0 Set[14].Position=50.0 Set[14].Value=333.0 Set[15].Position=25.0 Set[15].Value=400.0 Set[16].Position=0.0 Set[16].Value=500.0

All F-16A had the AoA/NWS/AAR etc indicator light boxes mounted on the HUD frame and not on the panel cowling like in F-16C's.. ---------------------------------------------------------- F-16C ---------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------- F-16A ----------------------------- F-16A Block 15 swapped the location of the Altimeter with the AoA+INSTR panels The ini entries for modifying the F-16A_Netz_Cockpit ini .. : [CockpitSeat001] ...

The TCS data section.... its using the weapondata format. Correct format for aircraft data and avionics ini (yep..) is this : Example from a F-4E TISEO with Dual FOV, with smaller FOV for long distance; 10km+ [TISEO] SystemType=EO_CAMERA ModelNodeName=TV CameraFOV=5.000000 DualFOV=TRUE SearchFOV=2.500000 CameraPosition=-2.052,3.488,-0.687 CameraAngles=0.0,-2.0,0.0 MaxSeekerRange=30.000000 SeekerGimbleLimit=30.000000 SeekerTrackRate=20.0 SightTexture=f-4_tiseo2.tga SearchTexture=f-4_tiseo.tga BypassFilter=FALSE IRImage=FALSE TrackingGateType=0 GimbleAngleDisplayType=1 ShowTargetID=TRUE // Tracking Gate options // 0 None // 1 Crosshair // 2 Four Corners // 3 Double Lines // Gimble Angle Display options // 0 None // 1 Pointing Cross // 2 Nose Index Marker

Yep.. all very low key about it so far. New book coming in April : https://ospreypublishing.com/f-15-eagle-versus-mig-23-25-pb EDIT: cover picture resized

Perfect insignia.... :D

The hi-res runway textures.. I usually downsize them to 512 pixel and save them in JPG format.. and remove the original BMPs from the folder. Helps a lot on my old crate.

Its also possible to directly target any targetable object by pointing the aircraft at it or look at it and use the Acquire Visual Target command ( Numpad * by default, iirc)

HUD, several switches and stuff and the WCP look very much like F-15A stuff which has been "Phantomized", so to say. I wont be surprised if the HUD symbology is very similar to the F-15A symbology.

None of the textures show on the HUD which means the avionics ini is missing the HUD Material section which is a SF2 feature To fix it Open the avionics ini file (with notepad , e.g.) Find the [HUD] section Add this line to the HUD section : [HUD] ... HUDMaterial=HUDMaterial and then the new HUDMaterial section : [HUDMaterial] EffectShaderName=fltHUD.fx DepthBufferCheck=FALSE DepthBufferWrite=FALSE RenderedInOrder=FALSE AlphaTestEnabled=TRUE CullMode=NO_CULL LightEnabled=FALSE UseLightLevel=FALSE SpecularEnabled=FALSE EmissiveEnabled=FALSE FogEnabled=FALSE AmbientColor=1.000000,1.000000,1.000000,1.000000 DiffuseColor=1.000000,1.000000,1.000000,1.000000 ZBufferOffset=0 PriorityLevel=1 BlendOp=BLEND_SRC_ALPHA NumTextureStages=1 TextureStage[01].TextureName= TextureStage[01].MipMap=FALSE TextureStage[01].FilterEnabled=TRUE TextureStage[01].StageColorOp=TEXTURE_MODULATE_DIFFUSE TextureStage[01].StageAlphaOp=TEXTURE_MODULATE_DIFFUSE
