Post Helicopter Adding stuff in here Please

[hotshotmike1001]

I got some more helicopter stuff flyable for users in my sim Though Once i put the KA-50 Cockpit in it I get CockpitKa50.dll error when i try to load it is there anyway to not need CockpitK in the addon mods and keep the user controls Like auto Start???

 

 

I can fly the KA-27 With Out the CockpitKa50 Though With out it i cannot do a Ground start

 

any ideas?

 

 

Below zip has the files needed to make Other helicopters flyable

 

https://www.dropbox.com/s/yxx5naed4vr59pc/CONFAircrafts.zip

 

Put the files In this zip into your

 

C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Config\Input\Aircrafts

 

Then Goto Mods and make a Copy of Ka-50

 

Rename it to which aircraft you wanna fly

 

then go into entry.lua

 

change below

[hotshotmike1001]

does anyone have any idea how to rise the camera View So the Mi-24 View is Above the Dash so you can see over it??

 

[hotshotmike1001]

Anyone know to to make loadout menu display like ka50 does on the airfield. When I hit the key it does not come up

 

Default ka50 arming key is. Left alt ,

[Mt5_Roie]

I would think this would belong more in the mod section...but let me see if I can answer.

 

For the location of the cockpit being blocked you have to relocate the cockpit. This is tricky since your trying to use your cockpit for multiple helicopters. Normally the cockpit location is located in main panel_int.lua and the line you want to mess with is:

cockpit_local_point = {4.831, 1.57, 0.0}

 

As for the comms, you need to add a comms file to make that work. That is a bit more complicated though.

[hotshotmike1001]

Thank you.

[iceHUMMER]

Where it says the location dummy object HUD?

sorri my english

[hotshotmike1001]

dont know

 

i am still learning how to make mods aswell

[hotshotmike1001]

anyone have any ideas how to get the payload screen to work so i can arm my Ai flyable helicopters?

[SkateZilla]

in entry.ini:

 

make_flyable('MODULE NAME', nil, nil, current_mod_path..'/comm.lua')

 

 

In Notepad++ Make the Comm.lua and place in /Mods/Aircraft/<modulename>/ Folder (might need to edit to work for choppers).

 

local parameters = {

fighter = true,

radar = true,

ECM = true,

refueling = true

}

return utils.verifyChunk(utils.loadfileIn('Scripts/UI/RadioCommandDialogPanel/Config/LockOnAirplane.lua', getfenv()))(parameters)

 

 

This will bring up the Menu to Re-Arm and Refuel when you press < LALT + ' >.

You need to add the plyon information along with weapon types in LUA file of your mod. You can look at examples int he database/plane folder. But it'll look something like:

 

pylon(1, 0, -2.081000, 0.041000, -5.814000,
           {
                 use_full_connector_position = true,
           },
           {
               { CLSID = "{C8E06185-7CD6-4C90-959F-044679E90751}" },
               { CLSID    = "{5CE2FF2A-645A-4197-B48D-8720AC69394F}" }, -- aim 9x
               { CLSID    = "{9DDF5297-94B9-42FC-A45E-6E316121CD85}" }, -- 2x aim9m
               { CLSID    = "{88D18A5E-99C8-4B04-B40B-1C02F2018B6E}" }, --hellfire x4
               { CLSID    = "AGM114x2_OH_58" }, -- Hellfire x2
               { CLSID    = "{ee368869-c35a-486a-afe7-284beb7c5d52}" }, -- Hellfire single
               { CLSID = "{5335D97A-35A5-4643-9D9B-026C75961E52}" }, -- CBU-97
               { CLSID = "{DAC53A2F-79CA-42FF-A77A-F5649B601308}" },  -- LAU-88 AGM-65D*3
               { CLSID = "{444BA8AE-82A7-4345-842E-76154EFCCA46}" }, -- LAU-117 AGM-65D
               { CLSID    = "{3EA17AB0-A805-4D9E-8732-4CE00CB00F17}" }, -- BGM 71 x4
               { CLSID = "LAU_131x3_HYDRA_70_M151" }, -- LAU-131x3 with Mk151
               { CLSID = "{40EF17B7-F508-45de-8566-6FFECC0C1AB8}" },
               { CLSID = "{6CEB49FC-DED8-4DED-B053-E1F033FF72D3}" },
               { CLSID = "{9BFD8C90-F7AE-4e90-833B-BFD0CED0E536}" },
           }
       ),

[hotshotmike1001]

in entry.ini:

 

make_flyable('MODULE NAME', nil, nil, current_mod_path..'/comm.lua')

 

 

In Notepad++ Make the Comm.lua and place in /Mods/Aircraft/<modulename>/ Folder (might need to edit to work for choppers).

 

local parameters = {

fighter = true,

radar = true,

ECM = true,

refueling = true

}

return utils.verifyChunk(utils.loadfileIn('Scripts/UI/RadioCommandDialogPanel/Config/LockOnAirplane.lua', getfenv()))(parameters)

 

 

This will bring up the Menu to Re-Arm and Refuel when you press < LALT + ' >.

 

 

so i copy the above into the entry.lua file or into the comm file

[SkateZilla]

the make_flyable line should already be in your entry.ini, edit it, to add "" current_mod_path..'/comm.lua' ""

 

 

the rest is the comm.lua

local parameters = {
fighter = true,
radar = true,
ECM = true,
refueling = true
}
return utils.verifyChunk(utils.loadfileIn('Scripts/UI/RadioCommandDialogPanel/Config/LockOnAirplane.lua', getfenv()))(parameters)

[hotshotmike1001]

ok Thank you test it now

[hotshotmike1001]

not doing anything here is what i have

 

This one is for the AH-64 apache helicopter

Comm.lua

entry.lua

[SkateZilla]

comm.lua should be all lower case and in the mods/aircrafts/<module>/folder (w/ the entry.lua)

 

outside of that, the parameters in teh comm.lua may need to be changed, as this is what we have for a test bed FIGHTER.

could you post a comm.lua file in the thread please i am Not very Good with Modding stuff in DCS world i am Kind of lost Thanks again Skatezilla

[SkateZilla]

Im in my office, i dont have access to my files.

[SkateZilla]

edit: Attached,

 

rename to comm.lua

comm (1).lua

[hotshotmike1001]

edit: Attached,

 

rename to comm.lua

 

 

thank you

[SkateZilla]

if it doesnt work, its prolly cuz our comm.lua is coded for a plane and not a chopper, i havent worked with coppers at all, so.

 

if needed, look for the comm.lua for the KA-50, which is Advanced Comms.
