M-2000C English Cockpit Mod

nice!

Taking me a little longer than I wanted to fix the lighting in 1.5.4. Hopefully i'll be able to finish Monday or Tuesday evening. Sorry for any inconvenience.

you're still working on it? :)

you're still working on it? :)

Haven't had time the last week. Hope to get back to it middle of this week, hopefully before 1.5.4 pushes to stable.

thank you very much ;)

Any updates since .87?

I've made small patch to 'gospadin EN cockpit', and now it works properly with 1.5.4.

Rafal, thanks for the nudge. I've updated to 0.90 with a number of fixes, plus re-did the L2 "LIGHTS" layer for compatibility with 1.5.4 / 2.0.3.

I did use the main warning board texture region you posted, but I re-did the other lights and alpha.

Version 0.90 is now uploaded and linked from the first post.

Not sure how I missed it, but I screwed up the per-tank low fuel lamp alpha channels in 0.90. Version 0.91 posted which fixes it, linked from the first post.

Hey are you able to upload your mod to mediafire or something? Some of us over the pond have a big issue trying to download mods from the forums.

Here's a temporary download link for those who cannot download from the forums.

Only valid for 0.91, and may be removed at any time, yadda yadda.

About the radar power selector, last two settings 'ON' & 'TX'. Shouldn't ON be TX and instead of ON something like silent? Still loving this mod, I don't want to nitpick here just a bit confused if this is an error or maybe I am missing something with my bad english.

I believe it's marked correctly.

The HAF M-2000C use ON for "powered but not transmitting" and TX for "radar is emitting/transmitting" so I copied their English abbreviations.

If you can find pictures with other abbreviations shown, I'll consider changing it.

Mostly as an experiment to see if I could do it, I went ahead and made an English cockpit mod for the M-2000C. I know RAZBAM is doing their own, but I'm having so much fun with this plane I didn't want to wait. =P

 

Note that these are mostly based on a mix of google translate and pictures from both a Mirage 2000-C (RDM) and a Mirage 2000-5Mk2 from the HAF. Our real M-2000C english cockpit will likely be slightly different.

Please select "EN by gospadin" from the cockpit selection menu in the Special options tab for the M-2000C.

 

Thanks to all the folks who gave feedback and pictures, especially jaguara5 and Azrayen, and Devrim for the inspiration. Thanks to uboats for writing the installer script support.

 

Version 0.91 has been tested in all current version of DCS: Stable and Open Beta, based on 1.5.4 and Alpha/NTTR 2.0.3

Gospadin,

Thanks for the Mirage Mods for the English cockpit and your Kneeboard pages.

Much appreciated by me.

Cheers

Great mod!

Posted version 0.92, linked from the first post in the downloads section. Resync with RAZBAM's base textures in 1.5.7.7473.311 open beta, which fixes the alpha/theta symbols, refueling probe light labels, and a few lamps.

Anyone got this mod working with the new integrity check for multiplayer?

Can't fly Mirage without ^^

It used to pass IC. I'll check again and see if the fix is obvious or not.

So I checked, and v0.92 passes the multiplayer integrity check running both DCS 1.5.7.7741.317 (stable branch) and DCS 2.1.1.8491.251 (open alpha branch).

If you're still having issues with the latest version, please post which file(s) specifically are reported as being the problem and I'll look into it.

thanks!

Sorry it was a problem on my end, I must have messed something up when converting to OvGME. I did try again (via old mod install in DCS folder) and it works on IC server.

But thank you very very much for checking, again sorry for the extra work.

no problem, glad it's working for you

I know RAZBAM is doing their own...

 

Really? RAZBAM's version still a WIP I take it - noting this thread started a year ago?

No idea at this point. I remember hearing it was close at one point, but as you said, that was ~19 months ago.

Love this mod but think the latest update has messed with the cockpit indicator lights, they revert back to French when lit!

Can you make sure you uninstall the mod, do a repair on DCS, then re-install and see if it still happens?

Which indicator lights are affected, specifically? Can you share a screenshot and I'll investigate?

thx

I noticed a couple of lights on the PCN but they haven't effected my enjoyment, perhaps he means these?
