In-game FJ-3M with Mark 11 Mod 1 gunsight: Eagle114th -
SF2 Avionics Community Pack - - Beta release v0.4
Eagle114th replied to Eagle114th's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
Hello everyone! I am now working on FJ Series Fury gunsight for FJ-1 / 2 / 3 / 4 I realize there is only FJ-3M for SF2, I still want to create gunsight for all variatns, so it is available as an assets for modders to use when theere is FJ series mods for SF2 someday. From the flight manuals, the different types of gunsight used by variants of FJ is very interesting! FJ-1 uses what is known as Mark 23, based on the description and learning that Mark 23 is based on K-14 gunsight. The disgram here may be inaccurate, so if I have more information on Mark 23, I will be more than happy to update the gunsight to be historically accurate as possible. MARK 23 - FIXED SIGHT and GYRO SIGHT FJ-2 and FJ-3 uses Mark 11 Mod 1, the same sight used by early series of F8U / F-8 Crusader FJ-4 and FJ-4B gunsight name is still unknown but there is reticle information and diagram from flight manual Both FIXED and GYRO gunsight Eagle114th -

Here is updated F-4S Phantom II (TMF) with new avoincs overhaul / textures. TMF F-4S Phantom II.7z NOTE: This files are desigend to work with TMF F-4S, please get TMF F-4S first, then install it on top of it. There are two types of cockpit textures, choose one from either folders (_COCKPIT - TEXTURE or _COCKPIT - TW STYLE) I hope this helps you with the roll tab issues. Eagle114th -

Ah Yes, I solved this issues with F-4S, it is a bit tricky. First, do not use COCKPIT.ini for roll tabs, rather use HUD method. Here is my cockpit.ini codes for optical sigh for F-4S: NOTE: for SOS - MAIN - BLANK.TGA, I use empty texture with ful alpha. And here is HUD codes in avionics .ini: I sue [HUD_BANKINDICATOR] for roll tab, and what makes it work is these codes: HorizontalAlignment=CENTER VerticalAlignment=CENTER This forces roll bar to stay at the center of HUD, right where the fixed sight is. For fixed sight I created [HUD_GUNSIGHT]. This way the fixed sight with roll tab staying with it while leading sight are free from it. Eagle114th -

Can you explain more about the issues? Are you trying to make a roll tab to stay with fixed sight while leading sight should not have roll tab? Eagle114th -

Here are screnshots of USAF F-4C / D (early / late), and F-4E: (NOte about EO Camera, Iam still experimenting with the hue color and "effects" for F-4E's TISEO while I am continuing to research on it.)

Hello everyone! After finishing workiong on F-102, F-106, MiG-15 / MiG-15bis, and F-51 (P-51) revisiting, I am now back to workong on the final stage: Revisitng F-4s and changing the methods of reflector glass tilting from HUD method to actual glass tilt, and the result is GREAT! Looks much better now: USN / USMC F-4B / J / N / S Eagle114th -

Hello everyone! F-102 and F-106 are now completed for revisiting and fixing what needs fixing. I want to share the improvement I have done with the F-106 Six Shooter based on wonderful works of Paulopanz and DTMDragon! Turned the optical sight into higher resolution: It was a bit chalenging to score a hit on MiGs due to frame on front of cockpit. However, still managed to shoot down MiG-17! For optional accessibility, this design is based on early LOCSS of F-4D, loved it! You can see square appearing on top of fixed sight. The empty square shows that you have radar lock, however the weapon still do not have lock on target nor is in teh range yet. When the AAMs have a lock or when target is in AAM's range, the ssquare turns solid. Eagle114th -

Hello everyone! Yesterday and today have been very productive day working on revisiting and fixing any thing I find that needs fixing AD / A-1 Skyraider, F-86 Sabre / Sabre Dog, andd F-89s. I am very happy with the results, after updating them to the latest sttandard of waht I have learned so far with this projects: 1) for non-HUD version (optical sight, such as A-4, F-4, etc..), for nav modfe, the opticla sight is turend off 2) By toggling the sight mode to AA or AG, will always turn it on, especailly if switching to gun mode for specific aircdraft, will enable the gyro computing sight, such as F-4 / F-8 / F-86 / etc... 3) Adding the missing aircraft , such as A-4M, A-4N, and other aircraft. 4) Adding new accessiblity based oon what I have done for F-4 / F-8 / F-86 sabre and Sabre Dog that carries IRM / F-89 I want to share some interesting notes about AD / A-1 Skyradiers: For DAY based AD / A- there is only one type of gunsight for AA and AG mode. However, for Day and Night version of AD, such as A-4NL and other series designed for night mission, there are two type of sights; Night mode (AA mode) Day Sight (Normal Sight - AG Mode) And news about F-89 series; I did some re-working on them as I revisited them, I realied I have two version of F-89s packs, so I went for the latest one by Wrench (F-89 remod v3) and woked on it from there with cockpits / radar / Optical sights. For F-89D / H / J There are two version fo sights, which is modifeid N-9 sight. the AA version will have regular sight, while the AG version have an extra symbol near to bottom part of modifeid N-9, which is desigend for rockets. With that, you can switch between AA / AG mode for normal or rocket version of modified N-9. And the optional accessiblity feature feels very fitting as well! when there is a lock on aircraft by radar, the small bracket appears: when AAM ahve lock on target (SAHM or IRM) Now revisiting F-102, F-106, F-51 (P-51), and MiG-15 before finishing off F-4s.

@dtmdragon Thank you for telling me about the depresed sight. recenlty went through F-8A/B, F-8D/E, and F-8H/J flight manuals, there is no menitons of depression. I am going to fix it, so there is no depressed sight for air to ground attack mode. Cheers! -

Hello everyone! After fixing all A-4s to have solid tilted reflector glass (Thank you Lex2Limit!), I began working on F-8 series, revisitng all to have latest updates; 1) By default, for NAV mode, the sight is turend off. To turn it back on, switch to AA or AG mode. And when gun mode is selected, the gyro lead computing sight will appear 2) the refelctor glass is fully tilted now, instead of "HUD method" 3) Fixed the depression for bomb, both A-4s and F-8s now have depressed sight when selecting bombs. 4) New optional accessiblity as shown in prevous A-4 Skyhawk, the solid circile will appear when IRM have lock on target.

Thank you for the information! How did you manage to find the name of texture file? I wouuld like to learn from you. That way, for all aircraft, I can find the texture file name and create the actual reflector glass / HUD tilted colors. Eagle114th
