astazou Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 Hello modders, To make some very specific screenshots of panels for Cockpit++ I need to move the camera in front of panels, but I'm facing a problem of view limits in translations. I tried to modify values (limits_6DOF) in DCS World 2 OpenAlpha\Mods\aircraft\**module**\Views.lua, but it's not working Any ideas?

astazou Posted August 18, 2017 Author Share Posted August 18, 2017 Hello guys, Thanks to Cpt Stark on a french forum (his post here: http://www.checksix-forums.com/viewtopic.php?p=1607437#p1607437 ) I have a solution to make screens about all panels without any view restriction. I'm pretty sure the solution could interest other people, so here it is in english: You can "navigate" in the cockpit using the "ModelViewer" of DCS File ModelViewer.exe in the \bin folder of your DCS World When you are in the program, load the file (load model) corresponding to the Mirage's cockpit "M-2000C-CPT.edm" localized here: \Mods\aircraft\M-2000C\Shapes To change the view: Hold the right click = rotate Hold the left click = zoom Hold the left click + SHIFT = translations You can also add effects (light/rain) the source' position You have 2 view mods - cockpit (player's view in game) - object (3D view of the cockpit from oustide) Bonus, if you know the arguments for buttons/lights, you can switch them My DCS contributions: - My mods/skins: here - My server/missions scripts: there - My Discord bot: this place If you want to thank me buying a coffee/beer, feel free: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Astazou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devrim Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 But I'm confused a little bit. You want to position the cam and take screen shots, right? I don't think that the quote will be best for you. You'll see a cockpit with no electricity and no working devices, and you'll see a sea-blue at outside. I hope it will be OK for you. Oh, I advice that set the MSA max for smooth edges. i7-2600 @3.4GHz | Corsair 16GB @1600MHz. | MSI GTX1660Ti Gaming X | Samsung 256GB SSD (Win10HPx64) Samsung G5 32" + Samsung 18" + 2x8"TFT Displays | Saitek X-55 Rhino & Rudder | TM MFD Cougars | Logitech G13, G230, G510, PZ55 & Farming Sim Panel | TIR5 >>MY MODS<< | Discord: Devrim#1068 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I wanted to make ingame screenshots to get shadows and lights, but you can manage them in ModelViewer, so I have something very close :smilewink: Oh, I advice that set the MSA max for smooth edges. Good point, thank you :thumbup: My DCS contributions: - My mods/skins: here - My server/missions scripts: there - My Discord bot: this place If you want to thank me buying a coffee/beer, feel free: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Astazou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
