I changed positioning in the file to: Position=800.0,800.0,800.0 ViewAngles=20.20,10.15,50.5 But when I fly the F-4E the positioning didn't change. I changed: GunsightMilSize=0 And the gun sight is no longer on the hud, so that's working . . . don't know why the positioning is not changing.

Thanks Raven . . . So there is no way to change the default zoom position by changing numbers in the file? The only way to zoom out or zoom in is with the scrollwheel while flying the aircraft? It would be nice to be able to zoom in a little more and keep it as the default zoom setting.

Hello, I extracted the "F-4E_COCKPIT" file from WOV, and I have a few questions: [CockpitSeat001] ModelName=f-4e_cockpit Position=0.0,5.500,0.658 ViewAngles=0.0,-2.0,0.0 MaxYaw=152 MinYaw=-152 MaxPitch=90 MinPitchFront=-47 MinPitchRear=-35 1) What do I need to change to zoom the cockpit forward and backward? 2) What do I need to change if I want to shift the cockpit to the left or right (not turning it, but just shifting it over so that the panel stays straight but is shifted over so that the hud display is no longer centered on the screen)? 3) After I save the file, where do I place the "F-4E_COCKPIT" file? Thanks very much for the help! Hawker111

I'm sorry, I think the tool is calculating correctly! Could you please delete the reply I made above? Thank you!

So I will have to use this conversion tool: http://www.hochwarth.com/misc/AviationCalculator.html according to this tool: mach .2 at 5,000ft = 130 knots (true airspeed) mach 2.0 at 35,000ft = 1,153 knots (true airspeed) But this tool is not calculating the numbers correctly.

Therefore, I can't simply use this formula to convert the mach numbers on the F-106 charts to true airspeed knots? multiply .2 (which is at 5,000 ft) x 661.47 = 132 knots multiply 2.0 (which is at 35,000 ft) x 661.47 = 1,323 knots

Thank you, Sir. The reason why I asked is because I read this yesterday: "The speed of sound (otherwise known as Mach 1) varies with temperature. At sea level on a “standard day,” the temperature is 59°F, and Mach 1 is approximately 761 mph. As the altitude increases, the temperature and speed of sound both decrease until about 36,000 feet, after which the temperature remains steady until about 60,000 feet. Within that 36,000–60,000 foot range, Mach 1 is about 661 mph. Because of the variation, it is possible for an airplane flying supersonic at high altitude to be slower than a subsonic flight at sea level." But according to the USAF flight manuals, when a chart says . . . MACH .2 at 5,000 ft. and says MACH 2.0 at 35,000 ft. . . . what I need do to get the speed in "true airspeed knots" is to . . . multiply .2 x 661.47 = 132 knots multiply 2.0 x 661.47 = 1,323 knots ? I wasn't sure if I should multiply the mach numbers by different numbers because each mach number is for a different altitude.

Hello, I have been studying a couple of charts from the F-106 Delta Dart flight manual, and the speeds shown are in mach. Since mach changes at different altitudes, I was curious to know if the charts in the manuals showing mach numbers use static mach numbers (1Mach = 661.47knots). Or, do the mach numbers on the charts need to be converted to knots with an aviation calculator such as the one on this page: http://www.hochwarth.com/misc/AviationCalculator.html If you would like to see the charts in the F-106 manual, you can download the manual here: http://www.f-106deltadart.com/manuals_documents.htm The manual I downloaded is: T.O. 1F-106A-1 (1969, rev.1972) Please take a look at pages 6-8 to 6-18. I appreciate the help very much!
