AB-212 is the Bell Designation for the UH-1H.

 

F-86F is what you need to use for the Sabre

Thank you SkateZilla! I tried "F-86F" but it crashed my DCS. I changed it to "f86f" (the edm is f86f) and the startup hanger screen showed the Sabre, but it locked up my startup window at 10%. I don't remember if it was in both 1.5.7 and 2.1.1, but I eventually had to do a cleanup and a repair on 1.5.7 to run even nonvR in that program. DCS 1.5.7 obviously didn't like something. In most cases, 2.1.1 simply refused to start when I tried using "sceneVR" files in which I had changed the aircraft designation. That's why I was wondering if the same "sceneVR" files could be used in both.

 

Should I assume that "F-5E" will show the TigerII in the hanger? I couldn't find an edm file for that airplane.

[Hawkeye60]

First of all, a huge thank you to Hawkeye60 and everyone else who put in so much time to create these virtual hangers. I have a few questions though.

 

The files that Hawkeye60 created mostly seem to be for 1.5.x. When I've tried to use some of them in 2.1.1, my DCS crashed.

 

Does anyone know how to rotate the tail down (pitch axis) on the taildraggers (P-51, Bf-109, Fw-190) so the tailwheel is on the floor?

 

And finally, in the lua for the UH-1H, the aircraft code is "ab-212" where I was expecting UH-1H or uh1h or something similar. Is that the vendor's designation (ab-212.edm)? I'm trying to create files for the F-5E and the F-86F. I was able to use "f86f," but my loading screen never got beyond 10% when I tried to start DCS. I never found the .edm name for the F-5E.

 

Any help is appreciated.

 

I will look into this soon.

The fix may be easy.

 

Stay tuned...........

Is there a way to not have to reinstall these files after every DCS update? It looks like they keep getting overwritten.

 

I've tried to create a DemoScenes folder under c:\users\[user]\savedgames\dcs\scripts and to put there the modded sceneVR.lua, but it doesn't seem to work: dcs ignores it and keep reading the file under d:\eagle dynamics\dcs world\scripts

 

If there was a way to avoid overwriting file after every update, but till now I can't manage...

[SkateZilla]

the file isnt overwritten, its moved to /DCS/Backup.xxx/ Folder.

Any news on this? a Harrier on the Trawa scene would be amaizing

All of my VR main menu hanger mods work in 2.2

 

You need to use GvGME to set the correct path.

 

Create a new configuration.

I called mine DCS Main

 

Set the root folder to the DCS main folder version you wish to use.

(This is the folder that USED to be used. The Main DCS sim folder, NOT the saved games folder )

 

Your mod folder path can stay the same.

 

Install the VR files with this config first then switch to the regular mod config.

 

Done!

 

Now you can create any VR scene you wish.

You could edit the( VR - Ticonderoga Gazelle's) file and substitute in the correct file names........

Use only notepad++ to edit lua files.

 

Hope this helps

Here you go :)

 

Some animations included. If you don't like it, set the variables animations and/or trajectory to false in lines 130, 131.

i thought the hangar scene puts a performance hit on playing the normal game/flights especially in multiplayer where i am better off deleting the VRscenes.lua file

[Ganeshka]

hi , can you tell argument for a10c

 

open cockpit / lights blinking on the wing (green and red) / stairs to cockpit open / landing lights on

Hi, this attached doc helped me a little bit. I believe it's out-of-date but it's still helpful.

Draw arguments for aircrafts 1.1.pdf

[Thick8]

Does.anyone have an answer for Hannibal's question? Does the menu scene impact game performance?

[BlacleyCole]

Ho2w about a random aircraft everytime you enter the hanger from your list of mods.

[DayGlow]

Any way to turn on shadows on the hanger, looks so strange right now

[Wrench]

Hey guys,

I made one based on J-1775's WWII hangar. This will randomly select between the Spitfire, P-51, BF 109, and the FW 190.

Might still have some bugs, I ran out of patience.

Nice. I don't have any WWII planes, but I will modify for my taste. Thanks for sharing.

 

BTW, did you use any documentation for this? I have a doc with the arguments but it is outdated.

[Captain Orso]

Dangity-dangity-dang I wish there were a way to load any skin in the hangar, which you can use in the game :cry:

 

I did some extensive argument testing (scene.m:setArgument) with the P-51D, and thought I'd post my results, in case it might help anybody setting up their own hangar script.

 

Model arguments

-- All valid values are from -1 to 1. Decimal values generally advance animation position along the scope of their full movement path.

-- These values are to the greatest extent in reference to and have been test on the P-51D, although they will probably have usage with

-- most models.

-- Settings which have been commented out with leading '--' I have found have no usage in the P-51D.

scene.m:setArgument(0, 1); -- tail wheel 0=up 1=down

scene.m:setArgument(1, 0.1); -- tail wheel compression 0=none 1=fully compressed

scene.m:setArgument(2, 0.2); -- tail wheel turn off center >0=counterclockwise <0=clockwise

scene.m:setArgument(3, 1); -- right landing strut extention 0=up 1=down

scene.m:setArgument(4, 0.2); -- right landing strut compression 0=none 1=full compressed

scene.m:setArgument(10, 1.0); -- left flap 0=up 1=down

scene.m:setArgument(11, 0.0); -- right aileron -1=fully down 0=centered 1=fully up

scene.m:setArgument(12, 0.0); -- left aileron -1=fully down 0=centered 1=fully up

scene.m:setArgument(13, 1); -- rigth slat 0=retracted, 1=extended fully

scene.m:setArgument(14, 1); -- left slat 0=retracted, 1=extended fully

scene.m:setArgument(15, -1); -- elevator (right stabilizer) -1=tail edge down 0=centered 1=tail edge up

-- scene.m:setArgument(16, -0.5); -- elevator (left stabilizer) -1=tail edge down 0=centered 1=tail edge up (nothing if only 1 elevator)

scene.m:setArgument(17, -0.5); -- rudder (right) 1=clockwise -1=counterclockwise

scene.m:setArgument(208, 0); -- landing light 0=off 0.1+=on

-- Each wing of the P-51D has up to 5 rocket pilons, or 1 bomb pilon inboard with 3 rocket pilons outboard. (The rocket pilons inboard

-- of the bomb pilons can be displayed, but it is an invalid configuration)

-- For ease of use of this documentation, pilons are designated R# or L# (as viewed from the cockpit in flight direction), where # is the

-- position from furthest inboard (1) to furthest outboard (5). Bomb pilons are therefore R2 and L2.

scene.m:setArgument(308, -0.5); --weapon pilons L2(bomb pilon position) 0=no pilon 0.5=bomb pilon 1=rocket pilon

Pretty much complicated to explain, took me lots of analysing the .lua to understand etc, but basicly you jsut replace the shape used int he lua, though it's ugly and disgustin, cut what load is an infinite horizon like Modelviewer, with not really water, and the deck surface is limited, so it's fake and i find it immersion break down, i let the hangar walla to hide this crap stuff, even on mine with the door open you can see the crap floor going through the horizon but the menu and otehr hornets hides it. And as for the Carrier Hangar is low Res and ugly, so i tried to use an envrionement that is better resolution and hides the limitation of the VR scene.

Updated as June 7 for 1.1:

 

 

I was missing an Arguement # to hide de remaining number, so i had some 0 digits alll were digits should appear, someone finaly helped me out with the proper Argument # which was wrong fromt eh lsit i'Ve found. And made some load adjusments on Hornets.
