Leavu+ERI 2.1 release

[FLANKERATOR]

I took the time to read carefully about this mod, and it seems LEAVU works with all aircrafts in FC2, not only the F15C...correct me if am wrong.

 

If true, that means that it can partially simulate versions like the Su-27SM and the MiG-29SMT for example. Partially, because it can not simulate the Multiple Target Engagement feature that these versions have. But this is coming from FC2 itself. This would be as close as you can get when combined with the R-77 mod which became quite popular now. In these conditions, I don't see how LEAVU would give the F-15C more advantage over the Russian Fighters than it already has to be honest.

 

It would be interesting to try this mod online on a PvP public server, providing everybody has external MFD's...or maybe there is another way without using external hardware?

[GGTharos]

Or how about you fly it like a 27S with the datalink represented as it /should/ have been, thanks to LEAVU. We have manuals describing this datalink.

Honestly, I would not mind either way. it would add some nice behaviour to the game that has yet to be explored :).

It would be fun to try both sides flying with the same MFD capability, regardless of what plane they are flying. Realism? hardly. Fun? Yet to be explored!!!!! :pilotfly:

 

But it doesn't really matter what leavu can do. Since fc2 can export own sensor data you can draw whatever you like from it.

Like flying 3d bananas on a radar screen you prefer. It's up to you, just because leavu made mfds first doesn't mean you can't render something completely different.

 

GAME exports DATA

your app does ANYTHING WITH DATA

 

Leavu = example of your app

Woow...27S or SXZ I don't really care, when flying public servers am on my 29S anyway. But this funny how you seem interested in having LEAVU on the F-15 only...Why would it be so annoying that everybody gets advanced MFD features and data-link on public servers allowing such mods?

 

If people wanna get some of what modified Russian fighters have using FC2, then LEAVU would be the way to go.

[GGTharos]

I'm talking about authenticity, nice to see you're still missing it :)

 

If you want to play modified russian fighters, HAWX is for you :)

Leavu can run with any plane and ANY SIM. :).

 

What is required:

 

- Someone draws an instrument

- Someone writes a proper data export (if it doesnt already exist)

- It is a tool like touch buddy.

 

 

We (me and GG) like flying F-15 in fc2, so, I made some basic instruments for it.

We prefer having these INSTRUMENTS (not leavu! Leavu is not locked to sim or plane, even if the name still suggests it)

for F-15 only, although we can never 100% ensure that never happens.

Again this is not leavus fault, anybody can make their own instruments.

 

Why should I make instrument for another plane or another sim I dont fly myself? - maybe if someone pays me :).

But i leave the door completely open for someone else to do it if they want to, they can speak to me any day and I'll show them how.

It's been like that since the first leavu release. If fact some have already made custom stuff for it.

 

But so far nobody contacted me on MSN or PM saying "Hey I want to make mfds for the russian jets in fc2 with leavu".

I asked people to do it, even some of the devs actually told me that they would think it would be great if someone did it.

Someone I think posted on the forums "How do I do it?" so I answered please PM me about msn details and I can show you,

and Im still hoping to hear from that person. It would be a lot of fun if Leavu got accepted online :).

 

Finally: Leavu is a BAAAAAAD name.

It is from a time when it was made for F-15 online (Lockon Eagle AVionics Upgrade)

But it should be called something like General External Avionics Renderer.

I Started with Ace Combat 3,4 and 5 before moving to FC and Falcon, I don't think I will go back to a game like Hawx, sorry to disappoint.

 

You also forgot to mention F-15 before using the word "authenticity".

[GGTharos]

I didn't forget anything. You just appear to be stuck onto it.

Thanks Yoda for the clarifications, this is what I have exactly understood from the documentation.

 

Isn't it possible to use it as it is now for a Russian Fighter? I mean it's maybe a matter of changing OSB names only, the logic would be probably the same for a modernized Russian Fighter (HSD, FCR, SMS..etc)

Yes you could pretty much clone my current mfd and just replace stuff :). It would work.

There are some limitations right now that checks "if not F15, do not show mfd page X", but

that is just a 1 line check anyone could remove in the open source code.

 

Do you know any java or C/C++? If so I could probably show you how.

[FLANKERATOR]

Am completely useless in programming with such languages.

 

Just wondering why you did not finish the work and make it payware, people are selling cockpits (cosmetics) in Falcon...you can also look for a win-win partnership with the MFD companies and distributors (MFD-LEAVU package)...

[GGTharos]

Why make it payware when all the servers banned it?

As for work, it got him a job in RL. ;)

It is finished (v2). It works very well.

There is no real money to be had in selling my software for enthusiasts. Much more fun to be had in having it open.

Hi

I am not that person you mentioned above.

But I really want to make mfds for russian jets with Leavu. There is one big problem with me - I don't know java nor C/C++ programing at all. BUt if no one is going to do this I could try. But I need guided tour in programing first or just "know how" how to disassembly and reassembly code in LEAVU scripts.

PM me and we'll get you started.

Does this work on FC3? is there a tutorial on how tot install this?

[104th_Crunch]

I am sure it would need updating before it would work with FC3.

[RvEYoda]

Well I recently started working on a prototype MFD for Fc3, but I haven't done much more work than draw a few shapes so far. I don't play fc3 (at least, not yet), so I'd need some idea how much people really want it. Leavu has such horrid code so I figured I might as well rewrite it from scratch - but like I said, I got a lot of other projects going right now which, at least for the moment, have higher priority.

 

Oh and if the guy making AISTV or someone else wants to make a dll which we can use it to inject it into the game and replace/complement the standard mfd texture that would be cool :P. That might also allow us to pull the VSD and SMS views.

I have LEAVU running as a client on a WinXP machine with a 24" touchscreen monitor. The MFD's are updating from LOFC2 but I am having an issue where the MFD screens are flashing terribly when being updated from the game. When the game is not running they are fine but of coarse static. I am not sure why. At times when I run LEAVU the MFD will show the radar then part of another app that was on the desktop but no longer on the desktop. Could this be a video card driver or java version problem?

 

Weird... but makes it unusable at the moment. Any ideas?

I would jump on FC3 in a heartbeat if we could export MFD's and gauges to a networked PC with a touchscreen. So you have my thumbs up. Wish I could get LEAVU working for FC2 on my system (well it works but the MFD's flash terribly when the game is updating it)

[tofarley]

Some people have claimed to get LEAVU2 working with FC3 (http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=97919&page=2). I'd love to try it, but every download link to LEAVU 2 seems to be dead, except for the source code repository. Does anyone have a working link, or can someone throw it into a dropbox or something? Thanks!

[Morkva_55]

Leavu2/Helios сombination works pretty well in DCS World@FC3 with some small code correction...

 

Unzip files to the folder: SystemDiskName:\YourUserProfileName\Saved Games\DCS\Scripts\

 

Copy dll files to the folder:GameInstallDiskName:\Games\DCS World\bin\

 

Do not forget to backup your original Export.lua file!

confused on the above

 

I am a little confused. The attached is taken from a Helios profile readme for FC2 and the instructions seem a lot more complex than the above. Also, is the above missing the Helios profile? Not sure what to do next.

eagle pit v2.2 readme.txt

[Morkva_55]

This are export scripts for Helios/MFCD/CDU from my User/Scripts folder.

Export.lua contains export declaration for all other scripts.

[i3dman]

I do have experience in helios and leavu but no matter what ,none of this have ever worked with FC3 - the closest i've gotten was getting the MFCD_FC3 app to work.

 

Any thoughts on what i'm missing?

 

ive even tried catpzeens profile and i still got nothing. :-(
