Thank you
For the hangar, I installed the mod (link in the .zip), then, I replaced the "ukrytie" by the name of the hangar mod, I adjusted the position and the scale, and it works
You can read the sceneVR.lua to see how I imported models, placed them, rotated them, etc...

What causes the lighting to do this?

Greetings Skate.  I read years old posts of yours changing the SceneVR.lua and editing it real time instead of having to close and reopen DCS for each subsequent change as it can be time consuming.  

Is there a proven method for loading the SceneVR lua file into the model viewer or some type of 3d viewing platform in vr each change i make ? also its possible to just change the scene to the hangar deck of the super carrier right ? why not ? 

Guessing its the nimitz_71_lod_0.edm

Thanks again

Let me know if you figure out how to change it from a hangar to the Supercarrier.

I was able to change it, However just cant figure out how to get my livery to work now, lol   Probably some adjustments on camera angle etc might be needed.  You want to help me tweak it and maybe add some weapons cool.  

I dont think the apache has the option for cowl and intake covers and probe covers like the hornet or harrier

So I kinda combined this with my other F-18 hangar scene. It has several Hornets in a hangar. They're in the carrier now but I need to figure out how to put them on the deck.

One of these days ED needs to overhaul this placeholder environment.

How do I adjust the lighting? In the hangar or on the carrier, the lighting is doing weird things.

Do you have them on the deck? Mine are down underneath.

[Shrike88]

No I put mine in the hangar space underneath as I liked that look better.  Still some tweaking trying to get liveries showing up now.  Much more enjoyable than the Russian hangar.

Agreed. I have 3 hornets on the deck. I'm strugging to get liveries working too.

I have this weird lighting issue with mine. Sometimes the sky looks completely normal. Other times it is pitch black. Not really sure what is going on.

Have a look at this one, might help you in some way.

This is great! Thanks so much. I took your scene and changed it to the F-18.

Hi, great thread!  I read through the whole thing but did not see a way to change the BORT/Board  numbers on the hornet livery.  The setting in Model Viewer is under the arguments section but it isn't clear what command that translates into for the scenevr.lua.  Any help is appreciated.  Thanks!

What I have in my notes is this

scene.m1:setArgument(443, 1.4); -- BORT 1st character
scene.m1:setArgument(444, 0.5); -- BORT 2nd character
scene.m1:setArgument(445, 1.5); -- BORT 3rd character

This is for the P-51D, so the Hornet may be using different argument numbers.

The "m1" references

scene.m1 = sceneAPI:addModel("P-51D-25-NA", 15, 1.9, 6);

Thanks!  That got me on the right track.  For those who want to know, the hornet BORT number arguments are as follows:

        scene.m:setArgument(442, .4); -- First BORT number
        scene.m:setArgument(31, 0); -- Second BORT number
        scene.m:setArgument(32, .8); -- Third BORT number
 

The number after the decimal seems to represent which number you want.  The example above is for 408.

Not really sure what I did, but I think picking the Maverick f/a-18c skin was the only thing I changed apart from loadout, which changed my vr hanger to a carrier with the hornet. I only did that this morning mucking around with my controller to check comms menu selection was working on throttle. Are there others?

[Captain Orso]

Not possible. It's like saying, you were reading Lord of the Rings, and you moved your bookmark to a new page, and when you picked up the book again, it was Midnight's Children.

Whatever mod manager you are using, check again which scenevr.lua is being placed. In fact, look inside ..\DCS World... at which file is present.

Good evening friends! Thanks for this thread.  I was wondering, if the SuperCarrier can modify the hangar... can we actually have a way to specify the Hangar per-module background?  If I select the F-16 as background have one for that, if I select the P-51 have one for that one?

I'm sure this is possible since it's happening with the SuperCarrier.  Before I go on reverse-engineering the luas, I was wondering if this has already been achieved and I am missing the resource? Thanks.

Sounds like you selected the wallpaper option for the Super Carrier, which is set on the hangar deck with a Hornet tucked in for bed shown.

This is the ONLY module that changes the scene, literally select ANY OTHER module/terrain to change it back to the default (or modified) sceneVR.lua.

Currently, the Super Carrier is the only module that does this. Would be interesting to see what you're able to come up with by rummaging through the lua's.

I have suggested to ED, to make it part of the Options UI to make it so that a user can choose from any module they own, the airframe (or vehicle for the combined arms folks) they'd like displayed, and any airport on any terrain that they own. Or the possibility to blank it all out, since these things sit in your VRAM consuming space, thus effecting performance for VRAM related items. Many people in my squad are blanking it to improve performance (https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3336353/).
