so true Chris...and by the time poncho and taurus are finished she will be the sexiest fat lady in the game. Fat bottom girls they make the rockin world go round....LOL

another rhs cockpit reference pic- showing yet another layout of parts



and a close up of the radio selector switch



one of my pet peeves with the ingame p47 pits that hasn't been mentioned is the oil temp needle doesn't work at all (@reads zero)and the cht gauge reads wrong- reads ~100 deg at overheat temp of 214 deg (measured with devicelink). is it possible to 'paste in' a suitable gauge to fix these?- p40 /spd triple gauge perhaps? and spd/ corsair cht?

while i'm being anal retentive is it possible to alter the turn needle to have a flat top and a taper at the bottom, something like this?



or am i opening a can of worms here?

[chris455]

Wow,
I thought I was anal retentive and all I was going to say was how neat it would be to have a seat cushion like the one in the picture. hock:
Good find Bolox!

[FA_Diablo]

yeah peqves me too bolox that so many guages don't work. Especially when full real is so prevelent. That's why i wish devicelink worked online so i could use your guages

[poncho]

Transplanting a gauge from elsewhere in the game is usually not too difficult. Changing a non-functional gauge into a functional one is possible but requires additional lines in the Cockpit class file- and some Java programming know-how.

Nice work there Bolox. More great reference! TY! (And no flamin phillips head screws there to boot!)

I wanted to correct the instruments right from the very start! All the instruments are divided into two 3dmodel meshes. We have no way of modelling the meshes at the moment so unfortunately replacement of those instruments is going to have to go on the wish list.

I am certain there is a typo in the java coding for those instrument functions to not work correctly. Again it will be noted on the wish list.

The turn needle will be done. (At least that is something!)

Cheers,

Taurus.

Cheers mate!

Great day in the morning, no more ugly red seat!

Please keep the updates coming guys. You're doing fantastic work and it's really nice to see the project come together.

[FA_Diablo]

that seat looks great taurus. Like cat said...no more ugly red seat and we have a seat harness....fabulous. I can't agree more with what cat said.

[taurus]

When you both mentioned about that ugly red seat, I thought I would copy over the new sit.tga texture into the bubbletop directory. The textures are layed out exactly the same. BUT.....

WTF!!!!



Looks like we're going to have to copy the Razorbacks seat mesh over to the bubbletops!

(I just know Poncho is shaking his head as he reads this. No rest for the wicked.)

[Edit: Soz Bolox, the turn and bank needle is one and the same on all the main instruments. Can't change it without changing all the needles at this stage.]

[PeterD]

terrific job taurus! The seat looks great and you did a hell of a job adjusting the texture to fit the seat! (I'm talking about the D-10 seat only )

Oh by the way, now I see what you meant about the bubbletop map case :lol:

[taurus]

First render of the radio and map case.



Separating the throttle textures worked out well Poncho. 8)

no probs, was just throwing out an idea

[FA_Diablo]

ok....I think i found a flaw in the D10, D-22 gunsights poncho. When you go to Shift-F1 wide view gunshight the reticle is obscured. It's off center and cannot be seen when in Shift-F1 mode. What about using the sight from the F4F? It doesn't suffer this problem. Or is it my install? I was in 4.09b1m.

[poncho]

Diablo,

This is a problem with off center sights. The stock P47 razorbacks, and German fighters also have the same prob in wide view. This is why I am so fond of the 6DOF mod. It allows you to fly and fight in wide view by centering off-set reticles. I am not aware of any other solution.
