unmar Posted April 22 Posted April 22 @ouky1991Hi, can I ask you for help? There are more of us who are having problems with the mod. Are you planning to update it or is it already dead? thanks.

unmar Posted April 23 Posted April 23 (edited) Today I tried deleting user data, uninstalling and reinstalling the module (F-18), but the mod still doesn't work well. Reshade has no effect on this either. I can't think of anything else I could try. Edited April 23 by unmar

I've turned off all mods and to no avail. The important thing for me is to know that the mod is working. So the problem must be with my DCS installation. Edit: I used the data you provided and it's much better. Thank you
ouky1991 Posted April 25 Author Posted April 25 1 hour ago, Mainstay said: I have a problem with the mod for the F-16 HUD as well instead of the normal colors i get two colors in the hud with latest patch. same as this There were always two colors, but the difference should be barely noticeable.

ouky1991 Posted May 17 Author Posted May 17 New version added to the first page, tried to make it as close to the previous one as possible. Currently there's a small problem with F-16's HMD, when zoomed out to maximum, the cross at the center disappears. The HMD symbology is tied to the HUD symbology and for some reason can't be edited the same way as F-18's HMD. Workaround is to increase "stroke_fuzziness" in StrokesDefs.lua from 0.32 to something over 0.4 (vanilla value is 0.6) 1 1

Archangel44 Posted June 24 Posted June 24 I’ve got both mods for the F-16 and FA-18. I did some tweaking in the Lua files and I load them using a mod manager. Yes, I’m using the green and yellow and green and white colors. I like them. I also, incorporated the F-16 yellow MFD colors in to the F-16 hud mod. If anyone is interested in them, I can upload the files in user files on the main DCS page. I take no credit for the mods, I only tweeked them to my liking. Hope this helps.

-Scrat- Posted Wednesday at 08:01 AM Posted Wednesday at 08:01 AM Hi, Nice post ! I changed the values for the HUD Hornet (very nice btw;), but IC check is kicking me out of the server every time Any clue how to fix it ? Regards Scrat
Archangel44 Posted Wednesday at 08:06 AM Posted Wednesday at 08:06 AM No, I don’t know how to make the adjustments IC compliant. Would be nice seeing it’s only a tiny visual tweak inside the cockpit. Perhaps someone with better computer skills knows how.

ZACHI Posted Thursday at 01:21 PM Posted Thursday at 01:21 PM I just installed the Viper mod with the latest version (2.9.18.12722), and it appears to break the new ATP rendering (e.g., text labels are not drawn). Thanks!
Mainstay Posted Thursday at 02:59 PM Posted Thursday at 02:59 PM @ouky1991 Hey! the mod is broken... The new sniper pod has no labels in the MFD. 1

Archangel44 Posted Saturday at 10:37 AM Posted Saturday at 10:37 AM (edited) Hey Pilots, Thanks to Ouky for the mod. My HUD colors are a bit different as I have set them to my liking. I played around with the LUA files, comparing the new vanilla Materials.lua file to my modified one and copied/paste'd a few new lines of code from the new Vanilla file and put them into the modified file and..... Wallah! What I can do, is upload the modifed file under the main DSC webpage under user files but it may take a little time for it to get through the vetting process. I will update a link when its available. In the mean time if you want to play around with the file, it is located here: Windows/Program Files/Eagle Dynamics/DCS World/Mods/aircraft/F-16C/Cockpit/Scripts/materials. One picture shows the TGP and the other shows the ATP.

Mainstay Posted Saturday at 04:41 PM Posted Saturday at 04:41 PM (edited) How can i make the HUD and the HMD look like this again (two colors of green)? I actually really liked the color difference. And for example make the text in the MFD's Yellow like the picture above from Archangel44 for all screens (normal windows, PODS and Weapons)? Edited Saturday at 04:44 PM by Mainstay
Archangel44 Posted Saturday at 05:29 PM Posted Saturday at 05:29 PM Unless someone chimes in on how to, I’ve uploaded the files to the DCS user downloads but it may take a little bit or a couple of three days. With mine, I combined what Ouky had done, changed the colors to my liking and combined it with an adjustment from another user who made the yellow MFD outline. If you want to do it yourself, the code above has all the settings I have. Just save a copy of the original in case you mess up. 1 F-4E, F-5E-3, F-14, F-15E, F-16C, FA18-C, F-86, A-10C, Spitfire, AJS-37, KA50, MiG-19, L-39, P-51, Flaming Cliffs, All maps, WWII Assets, Combined Arms, Super Carrier.
ouky1991 Posted Saturday at 06:06 PM Author Posted Saturday at 06:06 PM New version uploaded, fixed HUD for F-16C, it should now work with sniper pod. 1 hour ago, Mainstay said: How can i make the HUD and the HMD look like this again (two colors of green)? Download the new fixed version, extract the files and before applying the mod, open materials.lua and edit lines 24 (symbology colors) and 54 (font colors) - recommend using notepad++. Pick one of those two lines and change the second number to make the color slightly less green. For example font - from this: materials["CMDS_GREEN"] = {0, 240, 10, 999} to this: materials["CMDS_GREEN"] = {0, 220, 10, 999} You might have to do some trial and error before finding what you want. The yellow MFD mod question has been already discussed here 2
