F-18 Mod???

[Shotsx74]

K, well I know we all fly FC in the forums, and I am aware of the human cockpit deal with putting yes? But when you do they you cant Air to Air refuel and you can land on a carrier although you can take off from one?? Does anyone know of an F-18 mod for FC? I have found 3-4 diff ones for 1.02 and 1.01, but none for FC or 1.11+? Does anyone know of one or currently making one? I would do it but i have no clue on how to so im **** out of luck on that =/ Or maybe even an F-14 Mod?

You have to change the Su-27's OBLOMOK files by the Su-33's OBLOMOK files. This files are in this place : Bazar/World/Shapes.

 

So the cockpit used by the game for the aircraft like F-18 will be the Su-33's one with carrier and refuel capacities.

 

Don't forget to save this files first !

Ermm..how do you do that?

[Shotsx74]

I am really not understanding how to do that at all...

[Silent Warrior]

If it were me, I'd try renaming those files.

 

...

 

Well, did it work?

[Bossi-Maserati]

You go in the folder : Bazar/World/Shapes

 

There are files like this :

 

 

You put the oblomok files for the Su-27 in an other place.

 

And you duplicate the Su-33's OBLOMOK by changing the 33 in 27.

 

I hope you have understand because my English is not so good...

 

But I have a little problem...

The cross to land don't move. So I can't catch the cable...

Renaming these files will give you the Su-33 cockpit instead of the Su-27's but this will not give you the ability to have a hook or refueling probe. These are hardcoded into the game/Su-33 and cannot be ported into any other aircraft.

 

At the moment there is no way to enable any other flyable aircraft with refueling/hook capability.

 

 

 

Shots, you can do 2 things to have a flyable F/A-18.

 

1. You can change the Humancockpit=No to yes in the meinit.xml, this will give you the F/A-18 with the Su-27 flight model and cockpit. This includes the ability to use both AAM's and dumb bombs.

 

2. Back up the F-15 model files in the bazar/world/shapes folder, copy the F/A-18 model files and rename them to the F-15. This replaces the external F-15 model and so will give you the F/A-18 with the F-15 cockpit and flight model but you will only have the ability to use AAM's. You will also need to copy the pylon data for the F/A-18 in the meinit file over the F-15 pylon data for the weapons to be in the proper position.

 

As you can see both options have compromises.

 

If you want the second let me know and I'll make a mod up for you.

[Bossi-Maserati]

But when I rename this files, the F-14 and F-18 can

take off of the CNV-70.

[504 Wolverine]

The capability to use the carrier is actualy these parts of the "meinit.xml"

 

This one allows Landing on the carriers

 

<LandRWCategories>
              <Category CLSID="{05708AED-329E-41c3-9C51-9CCE4AA09380}">Carrier</Category>
           </LandRWCategories>

 

This allows Take-off to be set for the CVN

 

<TakeOffRWCategories>
              <Category CLSID="{A899CB38-FECC-46ef-9F85-165779669F56}">AircraftCarrier With Catapult</Category>
           </TakeOffRWCategories>

 

And this one allows take-off to be set for the kuz

 

<TakeOffRWCategories>
              <Category CLSID="{498729D7-0504-43f4-9585-F906CFE3B508}">AircraftCarrier With Tramplin</Category>
           </TakeOffRWCategories>

 

If you search in the meinit.xml file for the Su-33 you will find these entries and it will show you how they are placed in.

 

I reciently added this capability to the 504th squad skinpack for our Su-25T's and we can take-off for the Kuz with a max weight of 15,500kgs, this enables our naval wing to have SEAD & pinpoint strike capabilities for squad flights.

Statement retracted due to a settlement r.e. the original problem.

If anyone needs any help in matters like this the they can reach me on the 504th forums here.

I won't be frequenting these forums again due to the mods ignoring harasment of forum members from a select few including Rugg and Loc who abuse the PM and rep system.

Its getting a little TOO wacky in your own little wacky world. Give it a rest.

Sorry to hear this, but you didnt have to include names...kinda like we cant post about cheaters.

[Breakshot]

Well, there is a reason he included the names. Thank god he didnt include the PM messages that these individuals sent.

WTF do you know about it. Obviously not much, and I'm sure since wolverine's goal was to bash people publicly if there was a pm he would have probably posted it.....

I'll post the *cough* "PM", instead of Wolverine then. This is just top of an iceberg. bSr.L()Csta's and ruggbutt's neg. reputation comments are hair-raising, and are improper to post here (to offensive)

 

my first negative repution point for this post: http://forum.lockon.ru/showthread.php?p=214460#post214460

and guess from who

Ka-50 technology... 06-30-2006 11:14 PM bSr.L()Csta: the rep system is not for PM"S so stfu and stay out of it.

and who says that :D

 

@bSr.L()Csta

Sir, have I sent you PM through rep system? I'm sure it was just a comment, really. This will never ever happen again.

I'll stay out of Ka-50 thread what is your wish. I think you should be moderator of these forums so nothing like this will ever happen again and we will live happily ever after. You can count on me. Again, I'm so sorry. Please, I'm really sorry for stepping into your wacky world. Will you forgive me? I beg you for forgiveness, sir.

 

Although, sir, could you explain us what "stfu" stands for? I'm not really much into this so called elite speech, you know.

 

Pardon my insolence.

Truly yours,

[bSr.LCsta]

shamdog to the rescue!!!!

Okey, I'll stay out of Ka-50 thread, how you wish. I'm so sorry. Please, I'm really sorry. Will you forgive me? I beg you for forgiveness, sir. Although, sir, could you explain us what "stfu" stands for? I'm not really much into this so called elite speech, you know.

Truly yours,

STFU is what you should be doing right now instead of looking like a fool, because you and your little 504 boys can't take the fact that you have noob in your squad that doesn't know when to shut up and gets bad rep for it. Now you are going to hijack every thread to cry about it, because the mods already told you to piss of and act like men. Thats not good enough so you have to cry in public.

You don't see me posting the neg rep points from your dumbass or anyone else that gives them to me for posting a video or something that actually contributes to the community. You boys know what started this and all I can say is your 1st instinct was probably the right one when it comes to certain personel issues in your camp, and now instead of flying your are in the forums arguing for him again. LOL so sad.....

Yes it is sad really that one lost soul who actually apologized .ru moderators and wanted to straight everything up and become a good member of online flying community has become a target of your and your friend's hate-campaign. Was it really necessary? Instead of stayin of eachothers way you've chosen to provoke this situation. It's very sad what happened - I agree completely. You used to be respectful member of this community and went straight downhill to show what sort of person you really are.

[britgliderpilot]

Can any of the virtual Blue Angels guys explain how they got their tailhooks to work with their mod?

 

Just a suggestion - Su33 FM with F-15 cockpit files?

 

IIRC this is now possible in FC - got a link to the vid?

[kato217]

After watching the new Virtual Blue Angels video I see they're using the F15 modded into an F18. The tailhook works for them. How is that possible?

 

Sorry this reply is 2 weeks late - I just found the thread

 

For the Dirty Loop where we have the hook down, we put the F-18 geometry over the SU-33 flight model. i.e. renamed f-18a.lom to su-33.lom. Also readjusted server.lua to line up the inside cockpit view with the outside view of the aircraft.

 

Right now I'm trying to put the F-15 cockipit on the F-18a with the "Humancockpit=yes" method.

 

I can get the F-15 cockpit to work by renaming the Kabina-su-27.cmd file. BUT the HUD in the F-15 is still the su-27 HUD sybology (looks real wierd in an F-15)!

Does anyone know which file I need to rename to relace the su-27 HUD symbology with the F-15 symbols?

 

Thanks in advance

No such file exists and it is not possible to change HUD symbology=systems(avionics/WCS) for an aircraft in FC.

 

Swapping around aircraft or cockpit 3D shapes files by renaming them does not change electronic or mechanical system functionality in any way.

Server.lua, is that the only thing in that needs to be modified to adjust the cockpit position?

 

I am playing around with the F-18a with the cockpit=yes option but when I load up a server with 9 other guys we notice that non of us can look over and see each other. I am still searching for threads on this topic any help or direction is much appreciated.
