Very, very nice. Two questions : whta texture do you use for the clouds view by the top. What do you use for the SAM launch effect ?

This job is fantastic !!! Does these birds will be release with a specific pit ? JAT

Your job is greater each day !! Félicitations !!!

Well done GUX, it's good to see some news of the grippen. Again if you need a beta tester i'm your man. JAT

Your video is fantastic !! But i simply don't understand how to do , i'm probably to :slow(en): I realy need a step by step tutorial !!! JAT

Well, i must be but i don't have entry for the ships in the campaign_data.ini I have only an entry for the carrier : [CarrierUnit001] The escort ships are declared in the terrain targettype.ini and the formation is set in the terrain_target.ini Like that the ships show up in the campaign but they are heading in a different direction of the carrier, and they are not moving. So i'm a little confuse If i understand your post i have to make an entry for each escort vessel in the campaign_data.ini and add the two lines. How can i do that. Did have i to create an entry named [GroundUnitxxx] or [NavalUnitxxx] ? And did i have to fix the BaseArea= entry to "carrier Station" ? Sorryagain to bother you with that but i realy like to see a full task force in campaign. JAT

I'm sorry but i don't undrestand. The two entries must be placed in wich file ? Targettype.ini from the terrain floder, xxx_data.ini from the boat itself , or other ? I make some tests but no one work. Can you post an example of the file ? Thanks. JAT

To Voyager : i'm afraid we can not fix this, sorry. To Hellcat61 : the targeting box actually exist if it's specified in the HUD section of the avionics.ini. For example in the MF's F/A-18 the entry is HUD_LaserTarget for the LGB and HUD_MavSeeker for the EOGR. It's a green box locked to the target. JAT

It's ok for me, i'm glad to help. JAT

Thank's Fubar512. I'll wait your return for the details.

Where did you declare the escort ships as carriers ?

Well, i did a trick that actually work. I create a virtual bombbay with the allowedweaponclass= LGB. Then i create a new weapon : a LGB with no 3d model, no weight, no dimension, but all the entry of a working LGB like the GBU-12. I just fix the max launch G to 0.0001. By doing this this weapon can not be launched. When you drop your last real LGB, you choose the virtual one and.... Bingo ! you see your target until your laser bomb blast it. When the target is destroyed, of course the lock is lost. I did this to the f-19 and add my virtual weapon in the loadout.ini, so it's loaded automatically. Here's the entry of my weapon bay : [DLIR] SystemType=WEAPON_STATION StationID=3 StationGroupID=3 StationType=INTERNAL LoadLimit=1162 NumWeapons=1 AllowedWeaponClass=LGB AttachmentType=USAF,USN,NATO DiameterLimit=1.15 LengthLimit=5.1 BombBayAnimationID= BombBayOpenTime=0 BombBayCloseTime=0 MinExtentPosition=0,0,0 MaxExtentPosition=0,0,0 AttachmentPosition=0.0,0.0,0.0 AttachmentAngles=0.0,0.0,0.0 EjectVelocity=0.0,0.0,0.0 ModelNodeName= MovingPylon=FALSE PylonMass=0 and my virtual LGB: [WeaponData1870] TypeName=DLIR FullName=Downward Looking Infrared ModelName= Mass=0.000000 Diameter=0.000000 Length=0.000000 AttachmentType=USAF,USN NationName=USAF StartYear=1968 EndYear=2020 Availability=2 BaseQuantity=24 Exported=TRUE ExportStartYear=1968 ExportEndYear=2020 ExportAvailability=2 WeaponDataType=0 RailLaunched=FALSE Retarded=FALSE Streamlined=TRUE FinStabilized=TRUE SpinStabilized=FALSE EffectClassName=MediumBombEffects DragAreaMultiplier=1.000000 WarheadType=0 Explosives=0.000000 FusingDistance=0.000000 ClusterBomblets=0 ClusterDispersion=0.000000 GuidanceType=4 Accuracy=70 MaxTurnRate=3.000000 MaxLaunchG=0.000010 LockonChance=80 LaunchReliability=100 ArmingTime=4.000000 SeekerFOV=30.000000 SeekerGimbleLimit=60.000000 SeekerTrackRate=20.000000 SeekerRange=15000.000000 ReleaseAnimationID=-1 EODisplayFlags=0 To be complete i create your lasedesignator entry, and another virtual bombbay with a fictive navigation pod. Here's the second bombbay: [iNS] SystemType=WEAPON_STATION StationID=4 StationGroupID=4 StationType=INTERNAL LoadLimit=1162 NumWeapons=1 AllowedWeaponClass=DLP AttachmentType=USAF,USN,NATO DiameterLimit=1.15 LengthLimit=5.1 BombBayAnimationID= BombBayOpenTime=0 BombBayCloseTime=0 MinExtentPosition=0,0,0 MaxExtentPosition=0,0,0 AttachmentPosition=0.0,0.0,0.0 AttachmentAngles=0.0,0.0,0.0 EjectVelocity=0.0,0.0,0.0 ModelNodeName= MovingPylon=FALSE PylonMass=0 and with the same idea the virtual navigation pod: [WeaponData1869] TypeName=INS FullName=Internal Navigation System ModelName= Mass=0.000000 Diameter=0.000000 Length=0.000000 AttachmentType=NATO,USAF NationName=USAF StartYear=1982 EndYear=2025 Availability=1 BaseQuantity=1 Exported=TRUE ExportStartYear=1982 ExportEndYear=2025 ExportAvailability=0 WeaponDataType=4 StoreType=5 CameraFOV=15.000000 CameraPosition=0.000000,6.000000,0.000000 CameraYaw=-0.500000 CameraPitch=0.000000 CameraRoll=-45.000000 SightTexture=AVQ23SIGHT2.TGA EODisplayFlags=268500992 Finally here's my loadout for strike missions: Loadout[01].WeaponType=AIM-9L Loadout[01].Quantity=2 Loadout[01].RackType=DRA_IRM Loadout[02].WeaponType=GBU-10D Loadout[02].Quantity=1 Loadout[03].WeaponType=DLIR Loadout[03].Quantity=1 Loadout[04].WeaponType=INS Loadout[04].Quantity=1 By this trick i have a simulated FLIR and i don't loose my target even when i'm out of weapons !! Of course this can be done for other planes (F-111; A-6E TRAM...) I hope it could help. JAT

Well Mr GUX your work is awesome !!! I love the grippen. If you need a beta tester i'm your man JAT
