[RETIRED] ME Aircraft Payload Preview Overhaul

[uboats]

ok figured out how to change skin for old model and it works by manual index

but need to get the id info first

[SkateZilla]

livery list opens the description.lua

 

which has "id =x" line

so if X = 1, then the EDM Viewer sets arg 70 to .100 value

I tried and it works for the Mirage user created skins and default skins (I think) but it doesn't work for the A-10C

v1.1: after change livery, camera reset

 

by the way, unfortunately i did not download the 1.0 version in time so how can i freeze the camera when/after i changed the livery - i would like to try that - instead of resetting the camera view angle and distance

Thanks. And it should work for a10c, and since most of them are very similar that you can hardly notice the difference

your welcome

by the way, rope length not visible for choppers so you should use this for me_payload_panel.dlg at line 225

 

for normal window

["staticPicture"] = {

["children"] = {

},

["params"] = {

["bounds"] = {

[1] = {

["h"] = 216,

["w"] = 373,

["x"] = 1,

["y"] = 424,

 

 

for larger scrollable window

["staticPicture"] = {

["children"] = {

},

["params"] = {

["bounds"] = {

[1] = {

["h"] = 366,

["w"] = 366,

["x"] = 1,

["y"] = 424,

Works for which A/C please? Thanks

[uboats]

But all window sizes use same dlg right?

[uboats]

[uboats]

Hi uboats, Thank you VERY MUCH INDEED! :thumbup:

 

Though, there is a problem with the FW-190,

any selected skin looks the same all look the same, and they are not.

And one of my repaints, the KA-50, does display missing textures,

although in the game it is OK, and in the ED-DCS model viewer.

All my other repaints are OK. Screenshots included.

 

And now for the real problem...

 

I was happy with it, but the second time I tried to launch my DCS 1.5.3

it blocked at 10% and stopped. Luckily, I had made a backup of the original Mission

editor files, and I could repair it. But there is definitely a problem here,

please advise.

Hi, uboats, checked the mod in 1.5.3.openbeta.steam, works well so far. One question about the rotating models, I noticed some planes are centered well and they spin around their center (like the BAe Hawk) while others are spinning around a point behind their tail so they look zoomed out in order to fit inside the box (like the MiG-21bis). Do you think that is due to the problem with the modelview component?
