New on this module and feeling mi21 kind of love, looking to recap...

[Elwood]

Hi all,

after some ELINT experiments on ColdWar server I found that this sites contains lot of tools.

http://www.viggentools.se/

As I'm new on this module and I would like to cover lot more about it, am I missing anything really useful like the just posted website?

 

Thank you!

 

Love the Viggen and the Mig21 :-D

 

Thank you.

To me, a detailed kneeboard always was the key to mastering an aircraft.

 

I used funkyfrankys mod as a base:

and then modified some pages finally resulting in the attached set of images. As a mod:

Beyond that I found a QNE calculator useful:

While the formula is very easy I prefer entering the height and then simply hit "Compute" instead of doing the simple math on my own.

The link for the zip file is broken.

Mhhh. Wasn't on my end. Nonetheless, now on a regular host instead of my own machine.

That's really great, I'm copying them on my mobile Now.

Will try on the Viggen, tomorrow night. Thank you so much!

It's a good one! Are you planning to add anything else?

 

Maybe a mission cartridge online editor? :smilewink:

That's actually a good idea, I'll think about it.

[Elwood]

That's actually a good idea, I'll think about it.

 

Sure, it maybe needed a good integration with a mapping platform.

openstreetmap API? gmaps?

 

Just to let the user to mouse click instead of manual lat/lon insertion.

So.... I did use them from my mobile, which was great, they are superb in terms of concentration of exactly what you need to know when you need it!

So, thank you for that!!

 

Then I tried to manually copy only the PNG files into the the SavedGames.../Kneeboard/ AJS37 folder, but it didn't work.

Is it working onlly via JSGME/OvGME ?

[Zabuzard]

The problem is that the Viggen currently uses a special kneeboard system. It deactivates the usual way and instead injects the images using special LUA-commands.

 

Alongside with the images you'll need such a LUA-file for each image. The images, together with the LUAs, then go to

DCS/Mod/aircraft/AJS37/Cockpit/scripts/KNEEBOARD/indicator/CONTENT

 

That is also where the other special kneeboard pages of the aircraft are located at.

 

There is also a mod which enables the Viggen to search in the usual kneeboard folder too. But you'll still need the script files.

Zabuza, you've got a really good write up! Nice work.

 

Here's mine that I put together a while ago: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=183759

Apache600 great!

 

Seems that will be better if they will let you change the official manual ;-)

 

I'm now able to concentrate on weapon deployment training, but the best part (mostly unique of this module) is the before flight in cockpit flight planning, it gives you so much in terms of satisfaction even if you miss the target ;-)

Love that!

With the Mig21 I was doing it on paper or with some flight planner (xp11 style).

 

Thank you all.
