How to add FC3 cockpits to other/custom aircraft.

[Midnight]

Hey guys, I made a flyable model for my Squadron and ran into a SNAG when I tried to use the A-10A cockpit for the model.

 

On previous versions of DCS I could do this without a problem. It now seems that with the 1.2.8 update this became a bit more complicated.

 

I read trough several threads and came up with zilch. It seems there is more to it now than just to add "17" to the Entry file. I also used MODs with the A10 panel in it and tried to convert my model into them....no luck although these models work perfectly.

 

Does anyone know how I can accomplish this?

Sorted, had a small script error causing all sorts if issues. Not 100% the way I want it but it's sufficient for now till I remodel the cockpit in 3D.

how do you do it?

What was the issue and how did you fix it?

Sorry for the late reply guys..

 

This line fixed it with the A10A cockpit.

 

make_flyable('your_aircraft',current_mod_path..'/Cockpit/',{nil, old = 17},current_mod_path..'/comm.lua')

My error was in the Model Lua file...forgot to set the cockpit path.

Does this work on Fw190D flyable mod?

Have not tried it yet in the FW190, btw I did not forget uboats, just looking for the last version of that MOD.
