Question

[rattler]

when most mods are done, modders usually use the su-33 or mig29. my question is how can we make the look for inside the cockpit not reflect the contour of the su-33 and mig29. Point the tubes on left, I have solved. Now to get rid of the, I don't no what you call it so lets just say the hump on the left side. It is part of the plane skin, I do believe but how can it be smoothed flat? what file do I look in? This gives a better look out the cockpit for other mods but still retains the su-33 and mig-29 instuments which is no big deal. To have a smoother view as what you would see in other mods would be a slightly better improvement IMO. Would save making new cockpits in some cases. The ADA mod is awesome but a tremendous amount of work. Although this would not be a correct cockpit , at least you would have a better field of view from the front. Thanks for any help. cheers.:thumbup:

hmm, Im not sure what hump you mean, but if this hump is visible when using a flyable mod, its not modeled in the plane model file but in the cockpit model file. If you want it removed without making a cockpit, its possible to edit the texture of the hump. If its using a tga file u can simply edit the tga texture so it wont be visible, since tga files have an alpha channel.

OLDCROW: on the su-33, mig-29 and su-27 and I think one or two more , from inside the cockpit you see what may be a passive radar hump on the outside skin. In worldtextures.bmp you can see it on the right skin of the A/C . From outside looking at cockpit it has a reflective ball on the front. In the cockpittexture.tga or .bmp I would have to know the name of the .tga or bmp that draws it on the skin, that is how I got rid of the tube. Made it invisiable but I can't seem to find the .tga or .bmp for this I assume radar hump for lack of a better term. You must have seen it when flying mig-29 on right just outside cockpit. It will probably have a russian name which I don't understand and the size would be very small as it is not a large object. If you could have a look maybe you could point me in the right direction. Cheers.

You could also choose the next form of simulation that comes with DCS and look at contours with some other perspective.

No bump should be greater then what you see.

Now that is very useful info!!!!

[rattler]

:cry:anyone know what this is called and where I can find it. Help would be appreciated.:helpsmilie:

[hitman]

Thats the IR tracking device..IRST. If you look for that name, perhaps youll find it. Ill find out what it is shortly.

PRIBORY-OLS-27.bmp ;)

found in the CockpitsTexturesBMP.cdds

 

it is a bmp file, so I don't know if you will be able to "remove" it :(

if it was a TGA file, replace it with a blank tga, ok (like tube on the left ;))

but for a bmp :doh:

 

have a nice day ;)

I think you can do this:

 

1. Create blank TGA files in Bazar\Temptextures directory with name PRIBORY-OLS-27.TGA

 

2. Rename this blank PRIBORY-OLS-27.TGA to PRIBORY-OLS-27.BMP

Thanks a lot guy's for all your help. Will try your suggestions out and thanks for finding the file for me. Much appreciated. If it works, I will show what it looks like. My idea was to have the view outside not look like the su-33 or mig-29 etc. but a clear view. I can live with the instrument panel but a nice view like you would see from an A/c that does not have the tubes and ir dome is on improvement in my book. New cockpit would be nice but that is a tremendous amount of work. I think this if it works will be a nice improvement to using the su-33 and mig-29 etc for other A/C. cheers and again thanks for your time in helping out!!:thumbup:

 

Tried to make invisable but all I can do is remove texture. Any ideas guy's.

You Da Man!!!:megalol::worthy::worthy::worthy:.

I will check it out for you. keep an eye out for a reply in here. I will edit this post with the answer. There are the screen shots, so the answer is yes, at least with v1.02. I do not use LOFC anymore. Looks good, better view.Cheers.All the effort was done by HAUF_074, he did the file for the change in view, I got stuck and he made the big change and gave me the download and it works perfect as usual. HAUF has amazing talents. All credit goes to him.

Have that but only good for F15 and Mig29. This is an F-18 flyable for v1.02 using the SU-33 Which has the tubes and IR obstructing view that you would not see in the F-18. Although the inner cockpit is Su-33 now you have a more realistic view to the outside. This should work with any flyable A/C that uses the su-33 and possible the su-27 as they are only slightly different and the file provided would do both A/C. Using the F15 would make it a land base f-18, no carrier landings. Got to love those carrier landings, really fun.

Ye it's a pain in the ass without a flyable F-18.

Only if you want an F-18. There are a lot that do want a carrier F-18 in Lockon so now they have a cockpit with a better view. I don't fly Russian except for Mig29G. The other is the F-15C. So for those that only fly Russian A/C this mod is no good unless they want a better view also. I get the feeling you think this is a waste of time and of no value and having a flyable F-18 is a joke. Each to his own opinion my friend. Cheers.
