Please watch in HD......

;)

mcdan out!

yeah I know....youtube gets a little lame latly ;)

BTW: Glowing Amraam, if you wait much longer with that DCS A-10C movie, I will beat you in making good movies! :surprise::clown_2::prop::harhar::cheer3nc:

Just kidding....you are the master :worthy:

McDan out!

Not yet processed :P

If you or anyone else want to see it just go to McDaniel's channel. It will be the first one there.;)

"limited" 6DOF !!! yeas that was GREAT!!!!!

Mc, you are waiting for some rep inbound to share your Knowledge about 6DOF ? XDDDDDD

Ok ok i got it waoo!!!!!! the best thing for FC 2.0 now the revolution begin !!!!! I'll tune my settings and give them..

The sim got a wooping BIG step forward.. been asking this for years !!

ok, so that new 6dof looks like its been implemented better than I expected.

obviously you get the side to side action now, but It also looked like the z axis was working, which I was under the impression that the Z axis (moving head forward and back for closer look at hud/instruments) would not be changed in FC 2 due to the cockpits not being in 3d or something.

I heard head tilt is also in the game, though it was not utilized in that video.

Can anyone clarify exactly how the new limited 6dof ACTUALLY works.

What works and what does not work exactly?

Everything works. That's why it's called 6dof. It's just that the range of motion for the lateral movements is lower.

the Z axis is better not for zoom on the track ir.. 6DOF with out the zoom option is by far better with the 3d we have now.

so does it work "out of the box"?

Or you have to edit some stuff to make it work?

:music_whistling:

I was working on the cockpitview for the Simmod A-10 when I saw the following line in the file server.lua in \Eagle Dynamics\LockOn Flaming Cliffs 2\Config\View:

limits_6DOF = {}

limits_6DOF[PlaneIndex.iSu_27] = old_aircrafts_6DOF

limits_6DOF[PlaneIndex.iSu_33] = old_aircrafts_6DOF

limits_6DOF[PlaneIndex.iSu_25] = old_aircrafts_6DOF

limits_6DOF[PlaneIndex.iSu_39] = old_aircrafts_6DOF

limits_6DOF[PlaneIndex.iMiG_29] = old_aircrafts_6DOF

limits_6DOF[PlaneIndex.iMiG_29K] = old_aircrafts_6DOF

limits_6DOF[PlaneIndex.iA_10] = {x = {-0.02,0.35},y = {-0.35,0.18},z = {-0.35,0.35},roll = 90.0}

limits_6DOF[PlaneIndex.iF_15] = old_aircrafts_6DOF

limits_6DOF[PlaneIndex.iKA_50] = {x = {-0.02,0.35},y = {-0.15,0.21},z = {-0.26,0.26},roll = 90.0}

So it was obvious, that with the settings from the KA-50 it should also work for A-10 and other.

Disclaimer:

ED did not implented it, because the pits are not made for full 6dof, that means, you can see some "errors" when moving around, example, the pit from the A-10 is not closed behind the seat (to make shure the pilot has some fresh air :smartass:). For me personaly not a show stopper.

But dont start to complain about it when you alter those values! :)

Use notepad++ not just the normal notpad to alter settings!

My values in the A-10 are for the Simmod with also a changed viewpoint values, same file, server.lua:

CockpitLocalPoint = {}

CockpitLocalPoint[PlaneIndex.iSu_27] = {8.15, 1.38, 0.0}

CockpitLocalPoint[PlaneIndex.iSu_33] = {8.35, 1.35, 0.0}

CockpitLocalPoint[PlaneIndex.iSu_25] = {3.5 , 0.4 , 0.0}

CockpitLocalPoint[PlaneIndex.iSu_39] = {3.406, 0.466, 0.0}

CockpitLocalPoint[PlaneIndex.iMiG_29] = {4.92, 1.35, 0.0}

CockpitLocalPoint[PlaneIndex.iMiG_29K] = {4.9, 1.254, 0.0}

CockpitLocalPoint[PlaneIndex.iA_10] = {4.095, 1.67, 0.0}

CockpitLocalPoint[PlaneIndex.iF_15] = {6.5, 1.238, 0.0}

CockpitLocalPoint[PlaneIndex.iKA_50] = {3.188, 0.39, 0.0}

further down in the file you also can mess with the max angle settings.

ALTER AT YOUR OWN RISK! :smartass: I have no idea what the consequences are for Multiplayer or other things! :D

McDan out

Whaaa??

But it looks just like Lock On...I mean I can forgive the tanker being the same, but the cockpit looks no different other than the 6DOF...?

EDIT, just read posts, I get it lol. Nice find.
