[UH-01] - Immersive crew status mod

[Nero.ger]

Just a small mod that hides the Crewstatus overlay and places a little card on the center pedestol with the crew status on it.

 

(Crew station)
(Rules of Engagement)
(Burst length)        (Ammo status)

--installation--

1) Make backup of your "dcs/mods/aircraft/uh-01"-folder

2) extract the zip into "dcs/mods/aircraft/uh-01/"-folder

3) DONE

Thank You Nero.ger for this mod. This will enhance my immersion when flying :)

Nero, will this work for VR too? We can't see the crew ROE at all in VR.

[20thBG_Blackwolf]

It does work! Thanks buddy! Rep sent yet again.

Awesome mod idea. I'm not sure if this would impact it but will this trigger an integrity check failure in MP?

[20thBG_Blackwolf]

Turned all my mods off in ovGME (installed this one right to the game as instructed) and I got a green light on the IC so yeah I'd say it passes. I'd like to figure out what the path would be from the _mods folder of ovGME to the mods folder in the game so I could turn it on and off..but in VR I doubt I would, at least I can see whats going on now.

[Rowan]

That's a pretty cool idea, nice.

[20thBG_Blackwolf]

If you are in VR this is a must have. Vive here. I got a few Rift VR guys that could test it out as well.

Now work on the clickable F menu's I know at one point they did work. If I can call up the radio's and click them instead of lifting my VR to see the keyboard that would be awesome.

[Nero.ger]

glad it worked in VR, because i have no way to test it. :)

The mod is depent on the original Crew window working. i made the original invisible but its still "there" because i have to grab the data from it.

Thank you for the answer Blackwolf. Thank you too Nero, I'm definitely adding this to my mod list.

[NeilWillis]

Nice mod, thanks!

[Aginor]

Really nice mod!

[BravoFoxTrt]

Great Job, thank you man.:thumbup:

BK. This deserves to be on the BSD ovGME repository, don't you think? Would be useful to all our VR pilots.

what?:huh:

 

if you want to include it in a package or something, go ahead :)

just link this thread in the package in case i need to update something

[20thBG_Blackwolf]

Yeah Bad, after using it with the mission we flew I can say its worth adding it to the must have mods for our VR pilots, or anyone who wants it.

 

@ Nero the repository is our squads ovGME list of mods we use. We can keep it up to date if a mod has been updated so everyone is current on the mods.

oh one thing Nero the card acts as its lit up when flying at night, bad for NVG,is there a way to turn it down so you could read it with NVG's on?

[20thBG_Blackwolf]

See..without NVG..

 

And with NVG

 

I don't know if it can be changed, its not a big deal to turn off NVG for a second to check the card though. Just figured i'd ask.

[Nero.ger]

yes i know about the problem, far i have no idea how to fix that :(

[20thBG_Blackwolf]

Thanks, I thought it was like the kneeboard, you can't see it with NVG's (even turned to low). No big deal to turn off the NVG's to check it. Thanks again for the mod!

[Nero.ger]

--Update: 27.03.2017--

'fixed' the problem that it was unreadable with NVG on.

 

and by fixed i mean its a bodge-job. i hi-jacked the 'Chaff Mode Switch' to hide/show a dark overlay so its not overly bright with NVG.

the Plus is that you can decide if you want to be NVG friendly or you want to peek under your NVGs to read it :)

Hi,

 

I have rather recently started to use this mod and I like it a lot! Thanks Nero.ger!

 

But after updating to 1.5.8.12265 open beta from 1.5.7 I run into problems. My throttle got some strange behavior, reported here.

 

It turned out to be this mod causing it. I used it before without any issues, for instance a couple of days ago I played the UN campaign mission 6 'Patrols', where you are supposed to liftoff/land without governor. With this mod it worked flawlessly in 1.5.7. After the update the same mission can't be run as intended, since my throttle doesn't work. With this mod disabled it works in 1.5.8.

 

Symptom:

I can see the throttle in the cockpit move with my hotas throttle, but the engine does not respond. Its flyable due to the governor. If I disable the governor engine speed up to max with no possibility to decrees it. I have also tried with PageUP/DOWN and mouse with same result.

 

Hope you can find whatever causing it, I would really like to continue use this mod.

i am pretty sure its because of the original device.lua and device_init.lua got some changes in them

 

try putting this at the end of the device_init.lua

dofile(LockOn_Options.script_path.."POSTIT_MOD/POSTIT_MOD_device_init.lua")

 

and this at the end of the devices.lua

devices["POSTIT_MOD"]				= counter()

with the rest of the mod files obviously installed.

 

oh and make backups of both files so you spare yourself the time repairing again.

i dont have the uh01 in the openbeta right now, so this is more or less guesswork
