The F-15C with A/G-abilities in FC3

[Jerec]

I found a way to launch a/g missiles like mavericks or tv-guided bombs from the F-15C in FC3.

Ok, it´s not very realistic, but much better than flying western fighters with russian cockpits to launch guided a/g missiles.

 

The F-15C has no air to ground mode (key 7) so you have to copy the keyboard.lua from the su-27 or Mig-29g and paste it into the input/F-15c folder. I replaced the joystick folder of the Su-27 as well.

Ok, your F-15C now has an air to ground mode. Be sure to backup the original folders of course!!

 

Next thing is to edit the CustomHuman.lua to give the F-15C the a/g radar from the Su-27.

CustomHumanData[PlaneType.F_15 ] = CWSType.iCWS_Su_27

Don´t worry, with changing this, your F-15 will not have an Su-27 cockpit! It still has the F-15C 3d pit, but with a radar and a/g abilities like the Su-27.

 

The only thing you have to do now, is to equip the F-15 with a/g missiles like mavericks.

Open the F-15C.lua and add the lines:

{ CLSID = "{444BA8AE-82A7-4345-842E-76154EFCCA46}" }, -- AGM-65D

{ CLSID = "{51F9AAE5-964F-4D21-83FB-502E3BFE5F8A}"}, -- GBU-10 or

{ CLSID = "{B4FC81C9-B861-4E87-BBDC-A1158E648EBF}" }, for KH-29T tv-guided missiles.

 

Now your F-15C is ready to strike!

Create a simple mission to destroy a SAM launcher, a few tanks or a ship.

Press 7 for air to ground mode and select mavericks or KH-29T for large targets like ships. Press O to activate the optical system and move the crosshair onto the target. Press enter to lock. When the target is in range, fire.

This works great with a wingman. Order him to switch the radar on and he detects ground targets very soon, so it´s much easier to aim on a target with a rhomb.

 

The screenshot shows an attack on a ship, my wingman has detected.

As you also see, I made some changes on the cockpit. The radar on the right is fake just like the map on the right. I repainted that only for the reason that originally the radar and the TEWS are black due to the cockpit changes.

As I said, thats not reality, but way better as flying F-15 or other western planes with russian cockpits.

This looks much better, I think.

Nice but you could describe more in which pathes the files are lying because there are atleast 2 F-15C luas and so on and where directly put in those lua code. Its not that easy for a lua and game modder noob like me :D but great idea in it!

 

EDIT: it doesnt worked for me. i can equip mavericks etc but the 2 MFD's are black

Thanks for this but is there any chance you can place the paths here to locate these files. Still learning this sim and where to look.

 

Thanks

Yes please can you explain step by step what to do? Some iron bombs (Mk.82,83,94,20...) will be great too!!

[aussieboy]

Nice work Jerec,

 

Interesting thou, I was under the impression CustomHuman.lua didn't work anymore or is soon to be obsolete.

[TurboHog]

Good job!

 

But why a Russian missile?
