9.JG27 DavidRed Posted December 4, 2014 Author Share Posted December 4, 2014 ...on the bright side though, i just noticed the pilot as is carrying 12 flare. green,red,white and yellow.3for each colour. right now, i can imagine it beeing usable online just before entering the runway from the taxiway to warn incoming 109s or other aircraft... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ED Team NineLine Posted December 4, 2014 ED Team Share Posted December 4, 2014 If ED decides to make it a loadout option only, then maybe some mod could exchange the texture with an invisible one... If its a loadout option, then why would it need to have an invisible texture? If it was a setting in the loadout you could just choose not to carry it and it wouldnt be there ;) Forum Rules • My YouTube • My Discord - NineLine#0440• **How to Report a Bug** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptJodan Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 +1 Not sure what the best solution is, per say, but something to remove it in some fashion so gauges can be seen by non Track-IR folks would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainstay Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 I asked this a long time ago before the K-4 was released. Never got a good answer back then because i already hated it back then. http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=2176953&postcount=290 Been looking at the files of the BF-109 and it seems this shouldnt be to hard for ED to change. The LP42 (Lichtpistole) has seperate textures within the cockpit files LP42.dds I would also like to ask ED to make the LP42 Optional from within the loadout selection screen or optional through the extra BF-109 option tab.

tusler Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Check This View I was messing with the view system, I have no clue how I got this view but it happened while holding the RAlt and pushing numpad keys. Now that I have this view I find that I can hold down RCtrl + RShift and push the numpad key 8 to slew up, 2 for down, 4 for left and 6 for right. I can see all the gauges under the flaregun. I use a track ir 3 pro so I can still pan around. 2 points, I do not know how to get out of this view:noexpression: but at least there is a way using views to see all the gauges.:DLooking around.trk Ask Jesus for Forgiveness before you takeoff :pilotfly:!

ED Team NineLine Posted December 4, 2014 ED Team Share Posted December 4, 2014 Comments from Erich Brunotte on the Flare Gun: Just a couple of answers from Erich. Flare gun was left installed in its place also during flights, was not in the way at all, didn't block any instruments (probably due to stereoscopic vision). He knew it could be used in flight when in position but never did himself, also couldn't say in what circumstances that could have been useful. To him that was simply a place of storage, in case you crash landed you could take out and signal your position, the flare gun would have slipped into a pocket of his flight suit. But when he bailed out with damaged engine he didn't think of taking it with him, no time!

thawall Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 [FEATURE REQUEST] flaregun toggle function Despite maybe being a little unrealistic, I'm also for the option to make it invisible via a toggle. It might not be a problem in reality, but in game it just feels like an obstacle to me (in an already cramped, but beautiful, cockpit). Also, I don't see how it is any different from toggling the pilot model on or off... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QuiGon Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 -1 to remove it / making it invisible I'm fine with making it optional of course. The thing is I found it pretty useful in (public) MP games to signal other players if you are in trouble or just encountered an enemy and need some backup. Intel i7-12700K @ 8x5GHz+4x3.8GHz + 32 GB DDR5 RAM + Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 (8 GB VRAM) + M.2 SSD + Windows 10 64Bit DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!

Flagrum Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Tbh, it doesn't really bother me - especially not after the grip was now twisted a bit to the side, barel obscuring anything anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzzles Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Tbh, it doesn't really bother me - especially not after the grip was now twisted a bit to the side, barel obscuring anything anymore. Except the top breakers. Which it now obscures even more, which'll be important once they get fixed and aren't in during a cold and dark start. As a non-trackir user, I'd very much like the option to remove it. Fancy trying Star Citizen? Click here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9.JG27 DavidRed Posted December 22, 2014 Author Share Posted December 22, 2014 Tbh, it doesn't really bother me - especially not after the grip was now twisted a bit to the side, barel obscuring anything anymore. you are joking right? all they did, was twisting it, so that the flaregun doesnt interfer with the stick...the angle is the same and it covers the gauges and levers in the same way like it did before...the only difference now is, that it also covers the circuit brakers, so its worse.:) good thing though is that it will be removable.

arthuro12 Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Is it possible to edit the texture so it has a transparent alpha? Could do it that way until there's a solution.. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see the temp gauges without problem, the prop pitch gauge is somewhat obscured and the tank gauge is half visible. I am not sure if I need to constantly monitor the prop pitch and if I need to check that the fuel is more than half full, I can lean a few centimeters to the left and see even those both gauges perfectly. (Iirc before those two were covered more by the pistol grip) The CBs are now more obscured, yes, but how often do you need to access them in flight? The NAV lights perhaps, yes, but that one is as good accessible as it was before. As I explained in some other thread, I am all for having options. So don't get me wrong, I am not against this proposal. But personally I don't see the real necessity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaelu Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Maybe in the future when the pilot will be placed inside the cockpit we will get an extra animation with him mounting the gun in the hole. This will be nice, useful and realistic. However... I can't stop wondering why some people take a pride of not using a headtracking method with 6DoF... :noexpression: ...but, to each is own [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] I5 4670k, 32GB, GTX 1070, Thrustmaster TFRP, G940 Throttle extremely modded with Bodnar 0836X and Bu0836A, Warthog Joystick with F-18 grip, Oculus Rift S - Almost all is made from gifts from friends, the most expensive parts at least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bucic Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 +1 To me, when it's allowed to hide the pilot body for cockpit visibility reasons, then the same holds for the flare gun. .. +1 As it is with the kettle on MiG-21 HUD. https://akaagar.github.io/briefing-room-for-dcs/ F-5E simpit project https://forum.dcs.world/topic/318106-f-5e-simpit-cockpit-dimensions-and-flight-controls/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
