Civilian planes

[RubberDogSh1tOutOfHKG]

I dont know if this is the right place to ask, but when I use the Civilian Aircraft Mod, how do I get them to fly normal approach patterns? Instead of making divebombing approaches to land

Where can I find the latest version of this mod?

The landing and taxi lights aren't behaving correctly for me. They don't turn on for approach or taxi. I noticed in the lua files the lights_data for each aircraft is calling argument 208 and 209. If I look at the models in model viewer the landing lights are argument 51. Changing it to use arg 51 gets them to turn on but the lights don't illuminate the aircraft or ground. Here's whats currently in the lua files for landing/taxi lights.

 

[2] = { typename = "collection",
                    lights = {-- 1=Landing light -- 2=Landing/Taxi light
                        {typename = "spotlight", connector = "MAIN_SPOT_PTR", argument = 209,color = {1, 1, 1}, dir_correction = {elevation = math.rad(-1)}},
                        {typename = "spotlight", connector = "MAIN_SPOT_PTR", argument = 208,color = {1, 1, 1}, dir_correction = {elevation = math.rad(3)}},
                            }

 

Anyone have any ideas to fix this?

write for "spotlight" and "omnilight" simply omit light "spot" and "omni". or use my light entries.

Thank you! I had just started re-writing the lights_data to fix it myself. This saves me some time and looks great.

AMAZING! ... thanks a lot, really outstanding work

 

 

BTW I noted that the civil aircraft's liveries can be placed on saved games just like the liveries of ED's aircrafts:

 

 

 

 

really nice skin, thanks again.

 

 

 

 

Cheers!

My first mod making on DCS.

I cannot say when I will finish it , still under learning about DCS aircraft models.

[Scotty Rotten]

Everyone starts somewhere and most importantly enjoy what you're making

Anyone else getting an Integrity Check error on joe_rowe's Civilian Objects Mod since 2.8?

Hi Bambino, any news about this mods? 

Thank you

[Geschirre]

The DC-10 is already part of the mod.

[unmar]

Thank you. I was using the old version.

[western_JPN]

DC-10 is now a part of CAM (v0.87 - 0.88) as Geschirre says, but bambino's great looking skins have not been contained in it or published as an additional skin archive.
I have only skins of swissair and FedEx for DC-10 of CAM.

Layered template or white clean source data are also not available.
That makes us too hard to draw new historical skins of DC-10 by ourselves.

 

By the way, my DC-9 (-30) + MD-83 (81/82/88) mod project is near to publish.
3D modeling phase is done. 2D texturing + Normal map works are under going.
In this month without any troubles ?

I was tweaking some of the engine performance numbers for the Cessna, then got a bug under my skin about aircraft lighting since ED seems to be focusing on that.

Here are my additions to make aircraft lighting better. Tested fairly extensively on the Persian Gulf map as it seems like all the maps are going to move to that lighting scheme.

There are limits to what I can do in terms of which lights activate when (ED seems to have fairly restricted logic for all of that), and I cannot add light bloom or other objects that are 3D without the source 3D models (plus I'm not a 3D artist).

Wish someone would make more airliner liveries, especially for the DC-10. I'm not a 2D artist either.

I also made similar additions to @western_JPN's excellent T-tail twin jet mod:

Fixed a few small errors, mostly in aft (white) nav light positioning.

Thank you for the reports.

CAM + TTTwJ and ...

[western_JPN]

ahhhh ... I missed some advices posted here (or there) past .... 

Someone experienced that ? in executing CAM (Cessna 210N is installed as AI only) + RAT missions ,
one 210N born at an airport opens its left door and taxi to the runway, it keeps the door opened and stops on the take-off position of the runway (perhaps AI wait to close the door before accelerate, but it's never done),
the runway is blocked minutes and other planes waiting on taxi ways after the 210N.

Are there some solutions making 210N AI not to open the left door or close it before taxing ?

Sounds like you have a buggy Cessna .lua file. Its mechanimations sounds hosed.

Thank you, HawaiianRyan !

After applying your CAM_Light lua released on 1st/Jan. , Cessna 210N problem looks solved.

Ummm ....

C210N trouble is reproduced again.
Big number of RAT units ? Other static objects number ?
Not usual, but sometimes.
