English Cockpit ... not working? (Solved)


Recommended Posts

Posted

The English cockpit is supposed to be available now since the last patch, but I can't get it to show up. I've set the Special Options to, ofc, "English", but in game it still shows the French one.

 

Ran a repair, but it didn't help.

 

Anyone got it to work?

There are 2 elements needed for custom cockpits.

 

• Custom textures i.e. M-2000C\Liveries\M-2000C-CPT\English (contains various texture.dds and description.lua)

 

and a fix to

 

• M-2000C\Cockpit\mainpanel_init.lua

 

Although English Cockpit textures have been added in DCS 2.5.3.22176, mainpanel_init.lua hasn't been updated.

 

Anyone got it to work?

 

Yes, the fix to mainpanel_init.lua is relatively easy.

Really weird that they stated on the monthly video that it was implemented but it clearly isn't. The only other update they've done recently does actually work for me--hud brightness.

 

 

 

Running most recent version of the open beta here.

Hello, just an update we are aware of this and will look into the reason why its not showing.

It's working for me now in the latest open beta.

 

 

It's very nice being able to read things at a fast glance and not have to think about it. The warning light panel is now usable as well!

Sorry to stir this up after a year. Does the english cockpit option now work out of the box? Leaning toward the Mirage for my next addition. But having had experience with both the CapSim Mig21 and the PT TU-154 in FS9, I prefer not having to translate the panels.

 

Side note; Language aside, that TU-154 is one of the better freeware products out there. Even if it were english, some of the protocols and systems were different enough from the MacAir and Boeing I am used to be be fun to learn.

I started flying the M2000 a couple of weeks ago, discovered the English Cockpit, and it worked. Used it for a few days and decided to revert back to the French. The tutorials use the french cockpit and besides I wanted to be French.

 

(But it did work for me). Haven't tried it since. Note that there were some elements still in French, not everything changes, but most did.
