[UH-01] - Immersive crew status mod


Recommended Posts

Thanks for fast response!

That did the trick. Compared the files in the mod and the new original ones and there were some changes indeed.

Good to have this quick fix in hand after coming updates if needed.

 

Does this work with 2.1 (with corresponding device_init.lua and devices.lua)?

It seems to work in 2.1! :)

The device_init.lua and devices.lua in 2.1 still correspond to the ones in this mod, guess it will change at next 2.1 update.

 

But the plate look a little bit palish though, a little bit hard to read without zoom as in the picture.

--Update: 27.03.2017--

'fixed' the problem that it was unreadable with NVG on.

 

and by fixed i mean its a bodge-job. i hi-jacked the 'Chaff Mode Switch' to hide/show a dark overlay so its not overly bright with NVG.

the Plus is that you can decide if you want to be NVG friendly or you want to peek under your NVGs to read it :)

Sweet, Thanks Nero! I had no idea you got it working.

This mod is still working in 2.5.3 but in night vision unreadable again.

In

POSTIT_MOD_page_base.lua

I changed

NOTEPAD_TEXTURE = MakeMaterial(IndicationTexturesPath.."uh01_postit.dds", {255, 255, 255, 255})

to

NOTEPAD_TEXTURE = MakeMaterial(IndicationTexturesPath.."uh01_postit.dds", {5, 5, 5, 255})

for a dark background and

TEXT_BLACK_COLOR = {30, 30, 30, 255}

to

TEXT_BLACK_COLOR = {36, 148, 102, 255}

for digital green text and it is readable with night vision again.

Could you provide screen shots of it both from day and night with NVGs?

Why?

I mean, if you don't like the colors, you can change them, although a dark background is recommended, because a light background is the problem with night vision.

And for colors, you can check materials.lua

Why?
I'm not at home to try it myself yet, and it would be very nice for everyone to see how it looks before applying the modification you so kindly shared. But if you don't want to it's okay.

aw... i have a picture of my daughters just right underneath the Airspeed Indicator :noexpression:

 

 

 

Is too hard to move the mod around the cockpit?

 

Maybe you already seen it in the first post, but in the original MOD it's located just behind the weapons pannel.

If using the original MOD you might need to look at post #25 and #30.

Just a small mod that hides the Crewstatus overlay and places a little card on the center pedestol with the crew status on it.

 

Where has this mod been all my life! Simply awesome!

 

Just wanted to say thank you. Brilliant work. Much appreciated.

Great mod.......I've also added the option so it appears in the space just underneath the Airspeed Indicator.

 

Can I have permission to upload the mod to the DCS user download page?

 

If I haven't heard anything in the next week I'll upload.

 

lol i need to check the forums more often, missed your post.

so yea go ahead and upload it for other people :)

havent done any modding for DCS in a while but i am glad this still helps people and other find ways to improve it:thumbup:

'controlling' the Ka50 feels like a discussion with the Autopilot and trim system about the flight direction.

Great job :thumbup:

 

I really like your idea and I would like to download your mod, but I can't find it :helpsmilie:

 

Do you think it is possible to add just the current mode of the AP?

Yesss :smilewink:

 

I'm going to look for a way not to display the 0% when the gunners are no present.

 

I have an idea by looking at the function get_crew_data()

 

 

[EDIT] it's more complicated than I thought, whatever contains the variable : crew[i+1].ammo = " " or "",

 

formatting txt_ammo.formats seems to turn it into a value in % so nothing = 0% and "%" is always displayed....

 

 

What do you think ?

You can find link below....I've split the mod into 3.....on pedestal, center window frame and instrument panel.....and made it OvGME ready.

 

https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3307520/

 

Would like to be able to attach to the instrument panel so it moves when it shakes.....any suggestions/pointers would be appreciated.

 

 

I took the liberty to update them to 2.5.6 Beta from yesterday.

 

They are also a bit tidied up, your original ones contained some files not affected/related to these MODs. Still OvGME ready.
