MOD: Cockpit knee maps


Renato71

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

Here is my initial version of renowned cockpit maps on pilot knees. Its not finished yet, and currently US version is basically the same as Russian, just renamed. For testing purposes, I plan to add few more items soon.

 

Features:

- Basic layout of the FC2 area

- Airport numbers as programmed in autopilot

- Runway directions, where first number is primary direction

- List of airports in numerical order

- Basic info on course and distance for Mineralniye Vody and Nalchik, in blue, distance in km, value in the middle

 

Files:

- PILOT-RUS-G01.tga

- PILOT-USA-G01.tga (same as above, do not use if you do not need it)

 

Installation:

- Not ModMan compatible yet

- Copy/paste above two files to FC2 directory:

HDD:\LockOn Flaming Cliffs 2\Bazar\TempTextures\

 

Download:

I'm glad you all like it :)

 

I hope to release Russian (Cyrillic) version soon, as xplight suggested in PM.

I would like to add a thing or two, like RWY main directions (if they are going to be visible enough), and fix the "pocket" borders/shadows.

 

Currently I cannot make modman package cos I have some issues with PC and modman, and no time to fix it. But, as I hope to finish this maps soonish, I'll try to "modmanize" it :)

Just be ware of overabundance of information.

RWY directions - of coures its useful info, but its very important that its (i mean all aditional info) do not distract the attention on itself.

Try to make direction little bit smaller font size then field name and field number.

 

First of all its a map. Map for orientation... So main things in it are first of all - air fields and main landmarks (such as lakes, rivers, mountines...).

 

PS. long distance cource i think very usful too (like it is now, from Sochi to Min.vody)

And in case of useability, I think right side is good balanced.

 

PPS. about orientation: some years ago i made a table map. Simple map, I simplified everything ) — just for newcommers can find himselfs in area ;)

PPPS. :) about two sides... maybe it worth to try adding a horizont line in a both side... Maybe a same scale.

I see, same scale in such small space its very difficult.

 

 

*sorry for my poor English, it was so long time ago %)

Will this Mod work for Black Shark as well?

Yes the ABRIS is easy to use, but I use the the pilot in the pit option myself, and while I'm looking at my legs move, I think a quick guide on the knee boards would be helpful...

 

:)

 

S!

thanks for support, sorry for not replying to questions, personal reasons. and being clumbsy as I am, I've accidentally deleted some files :(

I'll try to make fresh version soon, including a proper one for US pilot.

@Toadster - I have not tried it with Ka-50, don't have it any more :)

Awesome :thumbup:

 

I have modmanned it, the two version attached here.

Original is Renato's version.

Alternative is the one posted by Szika.

 

Any chance of creating a hi-res version? I love hi-res pits :thumbup:

That mod will not fail the integrity check. Something else must have happened.

 

Download this modman pack to get all the default files that are checked on the 104th server
