X-Control Mod (Take Over control of AI planes) - Comunity open mod

[StealthTaco]

I plan on buying only the F15. Would there be any problems with the F18?

Hello good folks,

 

I have recently installed the x-control mod (beta 4) and the initial tests seem to work, except for one point:

 

I am unable to adjust the cockpit view position in the "views.lua" file that is inside the mod folder. Is there another way to eddit the cockpit view position ?

 

(my intention is to lower the L-39 cockpit view so that it fits better with the hud).

 

Thanks, have a great time !

This procedure might work:

I do not use TrackIR.

 

Also found in the archive to do same with snap-views, but I have not experimented with that, yet. I just searched for a snap view mod and found some info.

I recently installed the "X Control Mod" Beta4 for JSGME and although the X-Control icon appears in the GUI and the F-15E, F/A-18C and F-16A show up in "Mission Editor" as "Player" When I load any of these airframes, DCS crashes.

I've tried activating only the X Control Mod solely in JSGME along with activating all other mods with the same result.

I've also tried merging those files in the "Bazar" and "Mods" folders respectively and DCS continues to crash at launch (fly).

 

DCS is current version most recent version.

 

Subsequently I've also tried installing the 3.1beta version following all instructions to the letter. It worked however, I had no avionics, 6DOF, HUD or mouse look and pilot view was practically sitting on HUD bezel. In F2 view, there was no scrolling view out, and no mouse look. The cockpit however was the F-15 pit.

Further more, with DCS current version, in the Config/View/SnapViewDefault there's a note:

"--reformatted per-unit data to be mod system friendly

--this file is no longer should be edited for adding new flyable aircraft , DCS automatically check core database for this data(i.e. where you define your aircraft in aircraft table just define ViewSettings and SnapViews tables)

-- result of ingame editing is saved to Saved Games/<USER>/DCS/Config/View/SnapViews.lua"

 

When I added those lines to the Saved Games .lua's the I got a "dual" HUD (F/A-18/F-15) overlay with a SU-27 HUD but still no avionics, 6DOF etc...

I've since done a repair and reverted all "edited" files back to original.

 

Can someone PLEASE tell me what (if anything) I'm doing wrong? Would REALLY LOVE to have these "Flyable" Airframes.

 

Thanks in advance!

I seriously don't recommend installing this mod anymore.

 

Stuff has changed with Cockpits and other assets the mod used.
