Gentlemen,
I’m currently refurbishing an older 3D cockpit for BMS and encountered the problem that the MFDs, RWR, DED and PFL defined within the 3dckpit.dat are floating when 6DOF movements are applied. The displays are properly aligned from the cockpit eye reference point of no 6DOF movements are applied. I figured that the 6DOF coordinates (first 9 values) in the 3dckpit dat are zeroed out in other dat files. Applying this made the displays disappear. By adjusting the remaining 4 values which define the X and Y coordinates for these displays (top, bottom, left, right) I managed to get the, now non-floating, displays back into the cockpit FOV. Unfortunately a perfect alignment isn’t possible as displays are cut off, if they leave certain boundaries. That led me to the conclusion that the mapping area to which the displays are rendered is insufficient. Altering the entire cockpit model’s position with the Lod Editor allows for a good alignment of some, but not all displays and is certainly not addressing the root cause.
My question is, how can this mapping area be redefined to match the cockpit model? Is it possi le with LE and if yes, how?
Thanks in advance
