Helmet Spain FA-18C

[jack333]

Hi everyone, I would like all Spanish FA-18C pilots to wear the normal helmet without JHMCS since in reality they do not wear it, it is possible to make some modification in the lua file so as not to have to do it in the mission editor. Thank you

[Chervo]

Add these lines at the bottom of your description.lua

 

custom_args = 
{

[509] = 0.5, --Helmet Change 

}

Hi thanks, it works in the planner, but in the game it appears again with the JHMCS helmet

[Chervo]

It works for me also in game, below you find the end of my test description.lua file.

 

}
name = "- USN VFA-106 Gladiators - (c.2016 AD-301 - NAS Oceana - XO)"
countries = {"USA"}

custom_args = {
        [27]   = 1.0, -- Tail change of type of board number (0.0 -default USA, 0.1-)
        [31]   = 1.0, -- Tail First Digit
        [32]   = 1.0, -- Tail Second Digit
        [442]  = 1.0, -- Tail Third Digit
        [1000] = 1.0, -- Flaps
        [1001] = 1.0, -- Nose
        [1002] = 1.0, -- Kuwait Squadron 
        [1003] = 0.0, -- Australian Squadron 
        [1004] = 1.0, -- Finland Squadron
        [1005] = 1.0, -- Switzerland Squadron

}

Is there a list somewhere of all the custom args and what values do what?  These args < 1000 are new to me.  Thanks!

They have the Scorpion one

@Jack333, can you upload your Description.lua may I can help then.

[Stratos]

Only works on the F/A-18? Would be amazing to get proper helmet for the F-5E.

Tested your description.LUA and it works fine on my system, the pilot helmet is shown without JHMCS. For testing I start a mission and change then the livery by command to the ground crew.

Hi, you are right but that applies only to my pilot, not to my wingman.
