[Example] Simple HUD/MFD


Nero.ger

Recommended Posts

so i also wanted to share something with the modding community to help other making Cockpit/avionics mods.

while this works with the su25 as a showcase its not ment as a complete mod instead as a help/howTo for people who want

to build thier own Cockpit for thier Plane-Mods.

su25 as a show-plane was used because its hud is very simple

 

Install instructions are in the Download.

 

includes

 

HUD with

Horizonline

Speed/Alt

Vertical Velocity Indicator

display Waypoints from MFD

Moving the Glass up/down is simulated

 

MFD

general Building of an MFD (this one does not use 20 Key, instead 4-way as a cursor and enter/cancel keys)

Enginepage, showing gauges

Navmode with copyied Waypoints from Mission file

Build in Airfield selection as Waypoint and option for Custom entries

Hello Neo.ger,

 

thank you for this mod.

Do you have a little more documentation, so you know what function what does?

 

And maybe you have an example how to create a camera and display the image (aka Shkval)?

if i manage that i would have a big party with much vodka :)

so far no luck building a camera module :(

 

to answer the other question, i am unbelivable bad documenting/explaining things so dont hold your breath that i manage to make a detailed documentation. i (tried) make it as simple as possible so people have a working example to study instead of searching the forums up and down an puzzle it together. (like the wunderluft example)

it was a test to see who realy testing it ;)

i made the Device Id and category in Variabls because i wanted to change them easily

 

top of default.lua should look like this

 

local res = external_profile("Config/Input/Aircrafts/base_keyboard_binding.lua")

local MM_DevID     = 2    --MFD MOD device ID
local MM_Cat     = 'MFD'    --MFD MOD category

join(res.keyCommands,{


--MFD MOD-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
{down = 3001, up = 3001, cockpit_device_id = MM_DevID, value_down = 1.0, value_up = 0.0, name = _('MFD UP')      , category = _(MM_Cat)},
{down = 3002, up = 3002, cockpit_device_id = MM_DevID, value_down = 1.0, value_up = 0.0, name = _('MFD RIGHT')  , category = _(MM_Cat)},
{down = 3003, up = 3003, cockpit_device_id = MM_DevID, value_down = 1.0, value_up = 0.0, name = _('MFD DOWN')      , category = _(MM_Cat)},
{down = 3004, up = 3004, cockpit_device_id = MM_DevID, value_down = 1.0, value_up = 0.0, name = _('MFD LEFT')      , category = _(MM_Cat)},

{down = 3005, up = 3005, cockpit_device_id = MM_DevID, value_down = 1.0, value_up = 0.0, name = _('MFD ENTER')  , category = _(MM_Cat)},
{down = 3006, up = 3006, cockpit_device_id = MM_DevID, value_down = 1.0, value_up = 0.0, name = _('MFD CANCEL') , category = _(MM_Cat)},

I am up to no good :)

no seriously, still perfecting HUD and MFDs but the TAD-MAP gives me some trouble.

for the 'Black' map, i am getting inspiration from Falcon BMS Mfd display. Coordinate Input on the Fly and/or Mission, DataTape will also be a thing (inspired by the totaly intuitive way the Viggen does it:) )

other than that, CCRP/CCIP sight is beeing developt

You should make a GIT repo of it so we can grab it while you work on it and test it :P
