VSN flyable aircraft mods

[GrizzlyJet]

Jocko417 has been hard at it with many new liveries popping up, including two USAF bare metal versions.  Quite tasty!

I got the fuel tank texture issue sorted. Does anyone have a USAF bare metal livery? There aren't any in the User Files and the mod pack only comes with SEA camo. 

how exactly?

A couple lines in description.lua need to be changed from true to false (or the opposite). I can't remember which, so I attached my description.lua for one of the JASDF 201TFS liveries.

F-104S carrier trials (and, NO, the US Navy never did any trials with the F-104...)

@PeeJott17 The wingtip fuel tank textures aren't working for me for some reason. They're gray with the "missing texture" blocks. It happens on all liveries. Any way to fix it?

They work at first in a new mission, but then break when I open an older mission and change liveries. Sometimes they look fine in the Mission Editor, then break when I start the mission. 

 

 

Hi.

You need to delete every old F104 mid you got installed and an old Folder in DCS/Liveries where liveries for the older F104 had been stored...

The next thing is to Update older missions with The new mod. Just Jump into ME and select new weapon loadout for The plane. The Mission not only saves The loadout but with The loadout The Names of The textures and where they can be found. These Differ between The old and The new mod.

 

Ah, just saw it was a description.lua Problem..Sorry for replying late, but somehow The forum does not ping me with this stuff anymore

Thanks @janitha2

That is a pretty nice shot

[Fab8ball]

What about an additional mod to the F-104 series…the CCV!

Not to sound ungrateful, but any chance of getting a 70s HUD on the 104?

Its a beautiful aircraft  but in my squad we emulate 70s aviation and the F 15 HUD is an immersion killer.

Thanks for your most excellent work guys very much appreciated!!

Technically the F-15's HUD is from the '70's. Not withstanding any changes incorporated over the years.

yeah well I kind of doubt that the 104 had the HUD form the 90s F 15. the only video I found shows a recicle more akin to the Mig 21 or A 4

Yes, of course. My point was the 104 was not 1970's technology.

Also, I expect the F-104 never had a HUD and just the reflector sight you pictured here. BTW I share your opinion about replacing the HUD in VSN F-104.

[Baco]

YEs let me state again that this is a fantastic Mod, grate in all regards but I would love to have a reticle with range like the F 5. But yeah, SDK and all that jazz .... 

Cheers mate!

Agreed. It is a very well done mod.

Makes me want the F-8 even more.

Any work been done on the Mirage III?   Gun effects seem out of place.   Moved it back but maybe it didn't update but it's getting closer.
The skin in the 2nd pic for some reason has that blue show up.  After a bit it disappears.  Sometimes.

Moved the guns to this.  Prob not exact but in a better position.

Guns =  {
          gun_mount("BK_27", { count = 125 },{muzzle_pos = {2.334, -0.609, -0.646}}), 
          gun_mount("BK_27", { count = 125 },{muzzle_pos = {2.334, -0.609,  0.646}})

Deleted everything that was a guided bomb / missile and AIM9 L M X and AIM120s. 

Added the:  (LOCAL TIPS)
{ CLSID = "{AIM-9B}" ,arg_increment = 0.0}, --AIM-9B

Added the:   (LOCAL OUTBOARD)
{ CLSID= "{BCE4E030-38E9-423E-98ED-24BE3DA87C32}",arg_increment = 0.0}, -- Mk82
{ CLSID= "{Matra155RocketPod}",arg_increment = 0.0}, -- Matra 155 RP

It would be cool if we had the JL100 pods.  Fuel with rockets strapped on the front.  Awesome.!!!

Where can I find the Mirage III mod?  Nevermind

Got the glowing blue tail sorted out.

Change the light section to this.
-- FORMATION
            [WOLALIGHT_FORMATION_LIGHTS] = {},

[Geschirre]

When I add the additional bracket/comma to the .lua the Mirage III is no longer an option in the Mission Editor.

Just confirming that I am looking at the right location?  I never would have thought it was the formation light (makes sense, in the way that it doesn't make sense).  For months I had been messing around with the textures, mets/mesh, and liveries.

(File Name)  

VSN_MirageIIIC.lua  

(Location)

   -- FORMATION
            [WOLALIGHT_FORMATION_LIGHTS] = {}, <-Add this bracket and comma here?
                    typename = "collection",
                    lights = {
                        {typename  = "argumentlight" ,argument  = 200,},--formation_lights_tail_1 = 200;

 

Thank you

[Geschirre]

I finally figured it out.  I changed the "argument value from 200 to 0.  The only weird thing is when air starting a mission the landing clips out and back in at the beginning for a second.  Take offs and landings are fine.  No more ugly bright cyan color on the tail!!!

            -- FORMATION
            [WOLALIGHT_FORMATION_LIGHTS] = {
                    typename = "collection",
                    lights = {
                        {typename  = "argumentlight" ,argument  = 0,},--formation_lights_tail_1 = 0;  (Change the 200 value to 0)
