Flyable Su-30 with Su-27 6DOF cockpit

[Evilducky]

Im lost on that as I dont use freetrack. If you find something please post it incase others that are having problems with it can get an answer. :)

[zaelu]

OK... but freetrack uses trackir interface usually so it should be similar.

[zaelu]

what this button does? oh!!

 

 

we bring gifts:

 

 

:D

[ericoh]

are these working ARM? How?

 

I cant sleep at nights anymore, i need to find a way to make the ARM's work, imagine a SU-30 for SEAD, a wet dream it is....

[Evilducky]

You can do it, but you will lose your 3D pit and most of the Air to Air capabilities.

[zaelu]

I didn't launched any of them cause I didn't placed radars on the map (and I ran out of fuel by joyriding with full AB for too long... glided on vapors to base jettisoning all). But the ELINT pod fired up very well in my 3D pit. I'll try a launch soon... windows is updating some stuff...

 

The TV camera is "automatic" without the LLTV pod...

 

We need a way to put Su25T commands to those pods... If we have two types of files 1 fighter one bomber it could be good enough... if multi crew would work one player could have fighter files and the other bomber files and it would be awesome.

[ericoh]

I mean keeping the SU-27 cockpit.

 

What do you mean it is automatic without the LLTV pod?

[zaelu]

I have successfully launched Kh29T and Kh31P The big candies didn't want to launch. Ofcourse I lost Air to air capabilities.

 

However

 

If I remain with the plane in Su27/33 mode I retain all fighter capabilities and I still can launch tv guided misiles as long as they don't require lasing.

 

All with new 3D 6DoF Su27 cockpit... no other variant tested.

 

but... still no tracking for me in it... annoying as heck.

 

We need to figure out how to make new commands appear in controls. Like lasing. Target size up/down.

 

 

[Evilducky]

You could launch the 29T and the KAB500L's I believe with what I posted. :) Just go to Air to Ground mode, 7, then select the weapon, D, then hit O for the optical then move the target designator over the target like you would with the 25T, just note that up and down are reversed, then zoom in if needed with the "-" and "=" keys, lock the target and fire away when you get the LA.

[ericoh]

Nice, did you manage to keep the SU-27 6DOF cockpit whilke having ARM's available?

[zaelu]

yes... but now I messed up something cause it doesn't work anymore (usual radar and optical TV when in ground attack) and I'm struggling to find out what I did. It is true that I am after 2 beers and some vodka but I can take it.

 

 

I got it back to work... but the TV pod now is positioned somehow above the nose... much like the usual thermal pod. But it works...

Hi guys I've implemented the CustomHumanData entry and indeed the addition of the LLRTV and ELINT pod as earlier mentioned but as far as SEAD is concerned even in ETS mode(ELINT pod must be fitted)i'm finding the KH-31 series of radar ASM's are not working properly, the P variant explodes almost immediately after I get the LA hint in the HUD and the A variant I just don't get the LA prompt at all even at less than 10 miles to target(Hawk Radar SAM).I don't know why this is cause everything else works i.e.KH29's and TV guided missiles and the EO screen.

So whats that all about or is it me as i'm fairly much a virgin at flying the SU-25T and especially extra-virgin when it comes to its systems!!!!!

Guess i'll stick to the fighters.

Are you flying it with the SU-25T Cockpit?

 

I remember the SEAD missiles had this problem in earlier versions, did you update?

[Viperrm64]

Oh do you have to have the SU-25T cockpit then as I am fully updated with the latest version of DCS and I have a fully working 6DOF SU-27 pit but no air to air as previously mentioned.

Hey guys, I'm having a hard time getting the weapon systems working. I've added the lines for the ELINT and LLTV pods and I'm able to put them on the jet. I went in and added the skhval line to get my EO functional. For the life of me though I can't get the SEAD weapons working. Also I can't get the lazer to fire. Some pics:

 

Skhval seems to be working, but never get LA because of lack of laser.

 

This is what I get with the 31P. No target designator.

 

And the 31A. No target designator.

 

Also, a-a missiles work even though I added the line su-30=su25t. Any idea where I should focus my efforts to fix it?

[Evilducky]

John. You have to have the arrow on the left hand of the hud between the 2 lines before you get the LA to launch the KAB 500's. They are just drop and run bombs as the coding for the 27 pit to have air to ground was a basic left over from flanker 2.0 I believe I read. So that will fix your problem with that maybe? Give it a shot. :)

Yeah, the picture is a bit misleading. I've tested many times while within proper launch parameters but I never get the LA. I fly the 25 and 25T all the time, so I know how things are supposed to work :)

 

Would you mind posting step by step the process you used to get it functional? I think I will just start over from scratch.

 

EDIT: Just the part not in your OP...luas edited and so forth.

[Evilducky]

If you start from where my mod is posted you dont need to change any files to get the Kh-29T's and KAB500/KAB1500L to work. It works the exact same way as you would with the Su-25T. The Kh39's how ever do not without tinkering with some of the files. But doing that to get those missiles to work, you lose the Air to Air capabilities minus close range heaters.

 

To get the KH29T and the KAB500's to work go to Air to Ground mode, 7, then select the weapon, D, then hit O for the optical then move the target designator over the target like you would with the 25T, just note that up and down are reversed, then zoom in if needed with the "-" and "=" keys, lock the target and fire away when you get the LA/

 

Posted a track. Not the best flying but you should get the idea. :)

John2pt0, how is the line you used for making Su30 = Su25t? Also don't trash what you have.... better upload the lua files here so I can take a look. I had the same situation like you and now I can't get it back 100% I don't want SEAD to be default cause I can shoot in ground attack tv guided weapons while in AA mode the radar works normally. Also with 31A you have that cool radar over TV view in MFD :D .

Here are the two luas I messed with. Only changes/additions are:

 

SU-30.lua: lines 5, 176, 177

CustomHuman.lua: line 95

 

Thanks ~

Im having troubles with the aircrft i have the missing textures skin . Orange and all .

 

And Yes i added the SU - 30M2 line in the graphics . cfg

Liger, try re-adding the texture stuff from the Combatace download. Sounds like something didnt copy right.

graphics.cfg is redundant it's now graphics.lua, just enter the skins line into this file and you should be ok.

[zaelu]

btw... I had to put my edits on graphics.lua back from latest backup of latest patch cause when I tried the autoexec.cfg gimmick it didn't worked. Anyone else had more success with it?

 

@johnv2pt0

 

1st thing I observe is that your lua in my notepad++ can't collapse pylons "nicely"... maybe is there a problem? I look into it.

 

Disregard... it appears there's a difference between the two Notpad++ from the PCs in my room... it looks similar to mine but now my game won't start at all... nothing done to it... just booted... LOL.

That did the trick Lua wasn ' t correct
