HMS/Shkval reticle Fix

[Duke49th]

Hi all.

 

First, sorry for my english, hope you all understand what I mean and the Mod does...

 

 

After found this Thread:

 

http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=584093&postcount=6

 

- I make it as an Addon.

 

It is ModMan compatible

 

 

NOTE: Track reproduceability will be broken.

Readme:

 

Deutsch:

!!!Achtung!!!

Verдndert Werte beim abspielen/aufnehmen von Tracks. Bitte vorher diesen Mod deaktivieren.

 

Was dieser Mod macht:

Normalerweise hat man beim Benutzen des HMS, eine Abweichung von 11° zwischen tatsдchlichem Blickpunkt und dem Shkval Reticle(Raute).

Diese Mod verдndert den Wert auf 0°. Damit ist es nun mцglich, den Shkval Sensor immer exakt dort hin zu bekommen, wo man auch tatsдchlich hinschaut.

 

Nicht 100% realistisch, aber sehr nьtzlich wenn man TrackIR benutzt.

 

ModMan Kompatibel

 

 

Englisch:

!!!!!WARNING!!!!!

 

***track reproduceability will be broken***

 

***Uninstall before watching or creating Tracks!***

 

 

This Addon set the value of the vertical shift for the HMS/Shkval reticle to 0° for easier targeting. (Original 11°)

 

Normally when using the HMS and you try to target anything.

The HMS-reticle will shift and doesn't point exactly wehere you are looking at.

The standard value is 11°. I set it to 0°. Now it matches all the time,

no matter where you're looking at or what zoom you use.

 

Very helpful when using TrackIR.

ModMan compatible

Good work duke that was necessary!

[Feuerfalke]

Great work!

 

Thanks! :thumbup:

[Boberro]

Dunno but when I changed value posted by Alex O'kean I had this same without this mod :)

[Feuerfalke]

I guess it's the same - just that this mod saves you some time to change the values manually ;)

[BKLronin]

User friendly ;)

Fix? It is not broken here. Both 1.0 and 1.01 works good (like your AFTER picture).

Why did you need to fix it? Am I missing something?

[Boberro]

It wasn't "fix" cos it is realistic, but when we have 1 monitor where we look onto two eyes it looks not comfortable. This is why we can change this value.

[Duke49th]

Yeah, sure...it is not really a fix.

 

How would you call it? Improvement? Sorry...my english, you know;)

 

As Boberro (Let me say, I prefer Eva Mendez) said, it is not realistic. It is a help.

 

The rason why I make it a Mod is because, I found the Post with the value's (month ago), changed it and then reinstall the game. I need hours of searching to find the Post again.

And that's why I make it a Addon.

No more need to search the whole Forum;) And second, quickly turn on/off the mod....i.e. when you need to make or watch a track.

When you are looking outside, with the HMS, close to your Helo and let the Shkval follow your HMS ("eyepice" thing) then you have a "vertical shift" of 11° - at least with TrackIR 6dof. Just like in the "Before" picture. Don't know how it looks without TrackIR :D

 

v_angle_shift = 11 math.rad(11)
changed to
v_angle_shift = 0 --math.rad(11)

Yea why not, good idea.

What exactly do you mean by "Track reproducibility"? NVM

[XarBat]

Why is it unrealistic to get rid of the vertical shift?

[zdXu]

What exactly do you mean by "Track reproducibility"? NVM

After you have used the HMS the track produces errors. It will come with time more and more errors: false heading, false shootingdirection, false aircraft handling, false missionresults, etc. etc..

 

I think the HMS is mounted slightly offset because for reasons of view.The HMS hinder you if the HMS directly mounted in front of your left eye.

Link is taking me to some Chinese garbage site. Does anyone have a different link? I reinstalled BS and lost this mod somewhere.

[peybolman]

I made my own modman 7.3 compatible because link was broken
