get plane's coordinates ? - Tex-Twil - 06.01.2012

Hi,
so I finally managed to compile my 1st dummy mod which does nothing and now I start the real work.

The question is now can I can the plane's current coordinates ? I had a look in the FlightModel class (World.getPlayerFM()) but I'm not sure which method from there I should use. Are those two values the plane position:


If yes, what is the origin of the 3D space ?

regards,
tex

What is the origin point of those values ? ?

Code:

World.getPlayerFM().Loc.x: 6293.14
World.getPlayerFM().Loc.y: 51846.13

What is the origin point of those values ? ?

Those are meters from the south-west corner of the map.

A new question: how can I get the name of the current map ? Or even better, is there a way to get the 2D picture of the IL2 maps ? The one that is displayed when I open the pilots map in game.

I would think if you looked in the map part of the site you might
be able to find something there about that.

I've just had a look but found nothing. Maybe I can ask there.

Using the SFS Extractor I can get the high res maps The labels are not there but it's a start.

here is an example



The next step is how to get the name of the currently played map

Hi,
I think, the easiest way is to create a mission in FMB and then open the certain .mis file with the an editor!
The name of the map is in the second line after "map":

[MAIN]
MAP Mapname

Hope it helps!
