File Name: Thirdwire A-4E to K Cockpit Repaint File Submitter: Nyghtfall File Submitted: 27 October 2015 File Category: Jet Cockpits Thirdwire A-4E/F/G/H/K Cockpit Repaint by Nyghtfall v1.2 ======================================================== *** SF2V, SF2I, DLC 002 (A-4G) and DLC 005 (A-4K) required for the according Skyhawk-Models *** *** tested in full 5-merged installation *** Update v1.2 =========== All A-4E-based cockpits are now included with a repaint similar to the A-4F from the initial release, together with updated cockpit.inis: - A-4E, E_65, E_67, A_Ahit, E_Ahit_73 - A-4F, F_74, F_Ahit - A-4G - A-4H_Ahit, H_Ahit_68, H_Ahit_70, H_Ahit_73 - A-4K Early Variants (A-4A to C and L) will follow later, as they require some more paintwork. Update v1.1 =========== Crusader did some excellent cockpit.ini-tweaks and corrected the following issues: - chaff/flare counter entries for the A-4F_74 (one counter for chaff, one for flares) - added entry for the ECM Control knob, will switch from "Rec" to "Rpt" if ECM is turned on - ECM box, "Rec" light, new function, now works as Type=THREAT_SAM_WARNING_LIGHT . Thats the normal operating setting of the ECM, light indicates that emissions are received and ECM can be switched to transmit. - Spoilers Indicator light - changed entry to use external animation link function, now the spoiler light works correctly (gears extended and ground contact, airbrake extended) Initial Release v1.0 ==================== This is a repaint for Thirdwire's Stock A-4F and A-4F(74) Cockpits. While working on a proper A-4PTM-Cockpit based on the A-4F-one, this was a secondary result and maybe someone will find it useful. I aimed for an worn look and instruments, that are a bit darker than the stock ones and so I redid most instruments. I also corrected the font used on the instruments (special thanks to The Trooper for the font!). A slightly changed cockpit.ini for both planes is provided also. I corrected the ArrestingHook- and Gearlever, which are rotating levers now (rather than sliding ones). Known Issues ============= - Landinggear-Lever only turns 47° instead of 90° --> In the Cockpit-LOD, the lever-mesh is missing the bottom, so I used this, to avoid a visible hole.
