Is the Corsair encrypted?

[Rudel_chw]

Hello,

 

I updated DCS today but have not yet purchased the Corsair. I found that I can load the external 3D Shape onto ModelViewer 2, like this:

 

 

As I don't have the flyable module, I have not been able to confirm if the Cockpit 3D Shape can or can't be loaded by MV2  ... please, can anyone who purchased the Corsair test if MV2 can load its cockpit shape?

 

Thanks for any help with this, as I'm itching to purchase this bird

Honest question: why does this matter to you?

Because I enjoy making training missions for DCS, and for that I do need the information on which cockpit argument does what. DCS does not provide a list of the arguments, so the only way is to check those using ModelViewer. But, if the aircraft's cockpit can't be loaded on the MV because it is encrypted, then I'm completely unable to get the information needed for this kind of mission.

 

Honestly, I guess most likely the Corsair Cockpit is not encrypted, because on the F-5E they encrypted both the external shape file and the Cockpit file, and here I have seen that the external shape isn't encrypted, but I do want to be sure before spending the 50 quid.

@Rudel_chw It appears to be not encrypted.

What information do you need confirmed?

Thanks a lot,

 

It should have a "Shape" folder inside Cockpit, with a .EDM file, like this:

 

 

An encrypted Module will not have such file, in fact the F-5E 2024 does not have the "Shape" folder at all:

 

 

Thanks again

I don't see any there

Parent folder has one

 

Their MiG-21 has the same folder structure btw... (Shapes folder in the parent, none in "Cockpit")

Thanks, seems Magnitude 3 uses a different convention, most other aircraft store the cockpit shape inside "Cockpit", but the Mig-21 places it within "Shapes" ... can you please show the contents of the Shape folder? on the Mig-21 is like this:

 

 

I wanted to just check folders, as most users do not know their way around the ModelViewer application ... so, this seemed like an easier way.

Sorry for all the inconvenience,

As mentioned above, there is a cockpit edm file in the "Shapes" folder

Hi,

 

Thanks a lot for confirming this   so seems the shapes are non encrypted ... the Livery creators and myself will be really happy

 

... I will now go straight to purchase the Corsair 

 

Thanks again to everyone that helped with this.
