Which sim are you talking about and what folder did you find the 'lum' files in?

 

EDIT: Could you possibly mean '.lua' files?

Please elaborate more - I will have a look. - and I think you talk about *.Lua files, right?

[Gremlin77]

no, not lua files. in the download user files section of dcs (A10) you can find a lum file for alternative cockpi view(only the profiles of the front cockpit window)

 

cant tell you file name and directory becauce my pc is down at the moment. writing from ipad....

 

i'll have a look.

Sorry , but this is exactly what we asking you! :)

 

At least the link to this download would bring much light into your problem.

Edit: Have a un-activated DCS:A10C install at my work-laptop.

I made a search for "*.lum" and "lum.*" - no such files!

I was asking for the link to this download you are mentioning:

to download. e.g. different cockpit views.

Thats a *.lom file (lockonmodel) not lum.- will not longer work in 1.1.1.1 as DCS now uses now stricktly *.edm files for the cockpit (eagledynamicsmodel).

 

 

I can't find the appropriate thread now - but this mod has to be copied over your A10C-CPT.rar somewhere in DCS 1.1.1.0 me thinks (cant check now).

But this will remove all cockpit elements and you have only a "Tub" with a HUD.

I really don't know if you want this....

As it will "break" your F1 view. And can be only repaired by a backup.

 

Will write a note to the moderators to reject mods that don't have a readme or a link to a thread for info as this can cause serious trouble sometimes.
