Einherjer Posted November 25, 2015 Posted November 25, 2015 (edited) SHKVAL has a limited gimbal - like in the Su-25T , so dont fly over the target - set brakes and dive. Mavs should work fine (works for me) - lock on the target on the tv screen and fire if you get the LA Edited November 25, 2015 by Einherjer
fogster Posted November 26, 2015 Posted November 26, 2015 It is possible via writing custom luaDevice which will set the necessary animation argument for aircraft external model. Also you need to synchronize these arguments via additional entry in the net animation list in the plane's declaration lua file. I can do it, but absence of a good 3d model for F-14 makes this attempt not worth the effort. Actually I can do nearly anything with external animation using ingame sensors data and custom system device. P.S. Find the author of VNAO models, convince him to provide the original 3D Max files, and then I can help you. I don't understand any of that LOL. I think it will be best just to wait until the F-14A/B gets released. Also, what does jsgme mean? And for the wings of russia site, so you put the aircraft files into the mod's folder, but what is this about the activation tool?

okieordie78 Posted November 26, 2015 Posted November 26, 2015 So I have the A7 and F18 installed, what other mods are compatible with 1.5.1?
CaptJodan Posted November 26, 2015 Posted November 26, 2015 Thanks Morkva for the update! Nice to see the mavs working again!
blueskunk Posted November 28, 2015 Posted November 28, 2015 (edited) hi, I downloaded the F18C and love it! thx a lot! One problem, though: When i select the F18C it comes with the standard F15C cockpit and HUD, but the controller settings are those for the SU33. Now how can i get the functions of the F15C working that don't exist in the SU33? Secondly, when i select the F18A it comes with a F15C cockpit which is all powered down though, i.e. black MFD's. Also it comes with a SU33 HUD. I think i installed it all correctly but I'm not sure, tbh. Any advice?

Maybe the F 18 A has the Su 33 Avionics, so the MFD will not work, but i'm not sure And what F 15 Functions are not working with the F 18 C?
Einherjer Posted November 28, 2015 Posted November 28, 2015 The 18A has the Su25T avionics, so the mfcd is aktiv for the EOS systems
theGozr Posted November 28, 2015 Posted November 28, 2015 Mods that use SFM aircraft are no use to me.. need AFM for the minimum of fun :) Fly it like you stole it..
razo+r Posted November 28, 2015 Posted November 28, 2015 You can put the AFM to them and ... have fun
theGozr Posted November 28, 2015 Posted November 28, 2015 ? @razor+r file location ? and can work on it :) Fly it like you stole it..
blueskunk Posted November 29, 2015 Posted November 29, 2015 (edited) And what F 15 Functions are not working with the F 18 C? after some more experimentation: controller settings and weapons aren't working (none of the weapons apart from the gun can be employed...). the f15c controller settings dont affect the f18 at all (with the cockpit being that of the f15 i assumed the controls etc would be coming from the f15c). the f18c controller settings don't seem to work with the f18. there's no effect. what does work somehow are su33 controller settings. but without a su33 cockpit its also confusing... not sure where the problem is. with the f18 being so refined and detailed i do assume there's something wrong on my end... not sure what it is, though. i dumped all the unzipped folders into the respective folders of the main dcs directory. same what i did with the a7 mod, for example, and that one is working fine in all respects. any help is appreciated, i'd really love to get this bird to work properly :-) cheers Edited November 29, 2015 by blueskunk http://the68thaggressorssquadron.blogspot.com/ [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Einherjer Posted November 29, 2015 Posted November 29, 2015 Map all functions in the Su-33 controller settings. I can use aim 7, 9 and 120 in the F-18C 1
AG-51_Razor Posted November 29, 2015 Posted November 29, 2015 Blueskunk, while you're in an offline mission, hit ESCAPE and choose "Adjust Controls". This will take you to whichever plane has the responsibility for supplying the controls for the mod you're in. In this case, it is the SU-33. I have gotten almost everything to work except the air to ground smart weapons, such as the Mavric's and HARM's. Not sure why except that maybe because the MFD in the F-15 cockpit won't work for them?? In any case, it's an awesome mod and will provide hours and hours of fun and good training until the real thing arrives. :D 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Dingo_Bob Posted November 29, 2015 Posted November 29, 2015 (edited) Having a blast so far great mods, For those having trouble in the 18A, make sure you are using key I and O to turn on the Mercury pod to run the TV for Mav's & Harms (Hit & Miss with the AGM 84 & 88's sometime they launch sometime not at all) one issue with the 18A is AGM-65D's won't load up if you chose from the lft alt ' arms menu, they only seem to load if you set them in ME, but once used they won't re-load if land and ask for rearming at any airfield :( Also in the control/input/name.lua file for the 18A it's named as a C so you may need to change that. weapon release is also commented out in default joystick.lua I found un-commenting it helps in getting missiles & bombs off the racks. Edited November 29, 2015 by Dingo_Bob 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Modules are like Pokemon you gotta catch 'em all :joystick::lol::pilotfly: AMD Ryzen7 3700x, G-Skills 32Gb RAM @ 3200Mhz, MSI GTX1080Ti, TM Warthog (20cm extension by Sahaj), MFG Crosswind Pedals, Oculus Rift, Track Ir5

Dingo_Bob Posted November 29, 2015 Posted November 29, 2015 (edited) in the lua the line will have either // or -- at the start remove those to activate that command line Yeah with the agm 84 & 88, I think i may have activated weapons override to launch them not sure how though, as I don't have it bound to any controls, and I didn't press alt w, weird?? must be because it's using the Su inputs crossed with the 18A inputs files or something.

Valinor Posted November 29, 2015 Posted November 29, 2015 There is an instant action mission you can select to use the F18A against some AA using AGM88 missiles
Flogger23m Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 Do any of these mods include a unique cockpit?
AG-51_Razor Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 By "Unique", I assume that you are asking if any of the mods have a cockpit of their own. The answer is no. The A-7E Corsair uses the A-10 cockpit, the A-7E2 uses the Su-25 cockpit, both the F/A-18A and C uses the F-15 cockpit. They may not be the most sophisticated models in the game, but they beat the heck out of nothing for the US Navy side. The CVN-77 G W Bush is also a beautiful piece of work and rivals the one that ED is producing. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
blueskunk Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 in the lua the line will have either // or -- at the start remove those to activate that command line pardon my ignorance, but can anyone refer me to the respective lua file? the one i found in mods/aircraft/fa-18/input/fa-18c/joystick folder doesn't show // or --. just a ton of text... also, anything i need to consider before making any changes? default planes won't be affected, right? i never did that before... cheers :-) http://the68thaggressorssquadron.blogspot.com/ [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
AG-51_Razor Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 This mod is designed to be used with JSGME. All you do is enable it in JSGME and go fly it! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
blueskunk Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 took me a while to figure jsgme out but i got it working :-) thx a lot for all the help! :-) ... still trying to find out how to release weapons (i did map all su33 controls...) http://the68thaggressorssquadron.blogspot.com/ [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
