remove radiator / cockpit view


Lenux

Recommended Posts

I know it doesen't look " realistic " but i'd really like to know if it's possible to remove the radiator, from the cockpit view.

Any ideas are welcome, thank you

If you have knoledge of how the Model Viewer work you can check if this Radiator is linked to some "argument" to be changed.

It should be designed from the beginning, like the pilot's body or the stick and trottle to be removable, maybe is just non implemented in the code.

Run ModelViewer.exe placed in DCS World\bin.

Then, file --> Load Model, opend the fileDCS World\Mods\aircraft\FW-190D9\Cockpit\Shape\Cockpit_FW190D9.EDM

 

Press the function button called Enable/Disable Animation (the one with a red body), now you can check if the radiator you mentioned do something.

I can't see at all, the radiator, from the cockpit view, with ModeViewer

Thank you very much, anyway

@flankerOne: thanks for introducing the ModelViewer! Is there any documention? I'd like to see if it's possible to run animation for individual cockpit controls, in order to test mods (in the default.lua) without having to re-launch DCS World every time.

you have a slider on top and a field in which you can write an argument number. Use the slider to run the animation.

From the cockpit view, it looks weird

Thank you

I remember one of the guys "removing" MiG-21 Bis wings (at least) from cockpit view to save a few fps back in 2014 when the module suffered from poor optimization. These were separate components of the 3D model though.

 

I rather doubt you can remove only a part of the fuselage from the Fw-190 while retaining the rest.

There must be a way to modify this :)

Not quite what I hoped for...

I used argument 34 for the FW-190 and it did rotate the altimeter adjustment knob; but the altimeter needle did not move.

Same with the compass: I can turn the outer ring; but the scale does not rotate with it.

Nice trying though.

Maybe there is another argument for it. Search in the lua files of the system for the argument that it is using.
