Ok, this should be in the SF2 section I guess, but the 3D model works in 1st generation. So you could convert it back to the old Strike Fighter or Wings Over xxx games, that's why I write this here. I enjoyed the aircraft, but the damn cokpit was too tempting to me for not trying some editing. I tried to fake a VHF Omnidirectional Range (VOR) navigation instrument in the Twin Otter cockpit. -------------------------------------------- First : There's a compass that are designed to show you the way. So bring it back to its first function, showing you the course. (As I don't remember which one it was, here's the 4 instruments it should be good) [Brujula_01] Type=MAGNETIC_COMPASS NodeName=Aguja_Brujula_01 MovementType=ROTATION_Y ValueUnit=DEG Set[01].Position=00.0 Set[01].Value=0.0 Set[02].Position=360.0 Set[02].Value=360.0 [Brujula_02] Type=MAGNETIC_COMPASS NodeName=Aguja_Brujula_02 MovementType=ROTATION_Y ValueUnit=DEG Set[01].Position=00.0 Set[01].Value=0.0 Set[02].Position=360.0 Set[02].Value=360.0 [Rumbo_01] Type=MAGNETIC_COMPASS NodeName=Disco_Grande_Brujula_01 MovementType=ROTATION_Y ValueUnit=DEG Set[01].Position=00.0 Set[01].Value=0.0 Set[02].Position=-360.0 Set[02].Value=360.0 [Rumbo_02] Type=MAGNETIC_COMPASS NodeName=Disco_Grande_Brujula_02 MovementType=ROTATION_Y ValueUnit=DEG Set[01].Position=00.0 Set[01].Value=0.0 Set[02].Position=-360.0 Set[02].Value=360.0 -------------------------------------------- Then, that's where the messing starts : Add this to the instruments list, at the begining of the cockpit file (Twin_Otter_Cabina.ini) Instrument[xxx]=VORdev Instrument[xxx]=VORwheel Instrument[xxx]=VORto Instrument[xxx]=VORfrom xxx is the next number in sequence. For me it's 046, 047, etc... because I made other editing things. and add the instruments at the end of the same file : [VORdev] Type=COURSE_DEVIATION NodeName=KI206.locn MovementType=POSITION_X ValueUnit=DEG Set[01].Position=-0.017 Set[01].Value=-4.5 Set[02].Position=-0.011 Set[02].Value=-3.0 Set[03].Position=-0.005 Set[03].Value=-1.5 Set[04].Position=0.0 Set[04].Value=0.0 Set[05].Position=0.005 Set[05].Value=1.5 Set[06].Position=0.011 Set[06].Value=3.0 Set[07].Position=0.017 Set[07].Value=4.5 [VORwheel] Type=BEARING_MARKER NodeName=KI206card MovementType=ROTATION_Y ValueUnit=DEG Set[01].Position=0.0 Set[01].Value=0.0 Set[02].Position=-360.0 Set[02].Value=360.0 [VORto] Type=COURSE_DEVIATION NodeName=KI206.tofl MovementType=LIGHT ValueUnit=DEG Set[01].Position=0.0 Set[01].Value=-90.0 Set[02].Position=1.0 Set[02].Value=-89.0 Set[03].Position=1.0 Set[03].Value=89.0 Set[04].Position=0.0 Set[04].Value=90.0 [VORfrom] Type=COURSE_DEVIATION NodeName=KI206.from MovementType=LIGHT ValueUnit=DEG Set[01].Position=1.0 Set[01].Value=-91.0 Set[02].Position=0.0 Set[02].Value=-90.0 Set[03].Position=0.0 Set[03].Value=90.0 Set[04].Position=1.0 Set[04].Value=91.0 Don't forget to check how a VOR works, knowing that you CANNOT select yourself the VOR beacon you want (it's the next way point, or more precisely "the right way to the way point", and you have to intercept it lol) If somebody should provide a link in english it would be cool (as I only found some stuff in french...) ---------------------------------------------------------- and ... ----------------------------------------------------------- Maybe you want to be able to turn off the damn landing light ? lol In the data.ini : [Proa] ...
