Adding new parents
-
@Cloud:
But if you do use the 3DDB /parents command on the stock DB it will generate the Unused parents list with the hardcoded CT#'s!!!
These are the hardcoded CT’s of the Stock DB in case you want to start a dedicated thread for them Dee-Jay. Would have posted them earlier but I had to go to the Doctor for outpatient surgery!!
887 (LODS 0 TSETS 0 - Legacy KC-130 tanker parent) 906 (LODS 0 TSETS 0 - Legacy KC-135 tanker parent) 1218 (LODS 0 TSETS 0 - Legacy IL-78 tanker parent) 1221 (LODS 0 TSETS 0 - Legacy KC-135 boom parent) 1223 (LODS 0 TSETS 0 - Legacy IL-78 and KC-130 drogue parent) 1412 (LODS 0 TSETS 0) 1413 (LODS 0 TSETS 0) 2203 (LODS 0 TSETS 0 - Boom-equipped tanker) 2204 (LODS 0 TSETS 0 - Boom-equipped tanker) 2205 (LODS 0 TSETS 0 - Drogue-equipped tanker) 2207 (LODS 0 TSETS 0 - Drogue-equipped tanker) 2208 (LODS 0 TSETS 0 - Drogue-equipped tanker) 2209 (LODS 0 TSETS 0 - Drogue-equipped tanker) 2213 (LODS 0 TSETS 0 - Tanker boom) 2214 (LODS 0 TSETS 0 - Tanker boom) 2215 (LODS 0 TSETS 0 - Tanker drogue) 2217 (LODS 0 TSETS 0 - Tanker drogue) 2218 (LODS 0 TSETS 0 - Tanker drogue) 2219 (LODS 0 TSETS 0 - Tanker drogue) 2223 (LODS 0 TSETS 0 - Drogue for KC's with both boom and drogue) 2224 (LODS 0 TSETS 0 - Drogue for KC's with both boom and drogue)

Is there anyway to find a particular cockpit, wings or canopy model for those A/C not contained within the cockpit parents list? Ofcourse given they exist in the first place.
-
You’d think after all this time, hundreds of threads and thousands of questions, there would be a written step by step procedure manual to help you in your quest.

LOL, yeah I’m good, couple scars and about 20 stitches!!!
Couldn’t get him into the VFW, had to leave him at the medical center, too short to be a pilot!!! :lol::nosep:

Glad you are fine. Take care of you and be more careful next time … we need a strong community.

a bit OT…
anyone ever try drogue-basket refueling in 4.34? pic or vid would be great.
i’ve not checked this part yet… got to learn new comm first. -
Guess what, ccc1tw?
You gave me a good idea. What do you prefer to learn about, the Viper only or some more planes able to do it in alternative?
(Update: I flew a custom TE and all went out fine. I was able to communicate to the tanker on the assigned frequency (U. 13) when I came near almost 5 miles to it - or her? Boh, don’t know. And since then all went fine, anyway. Some weird I’ve noticed? This one. What frequency has been assigned to talk to the AWACS? I found nothing about in the briefing. And more strange, when in flight I wasn’t actually able to, even if I had it on my radar. More to investigate, I guess.)
With best regards. -
Oh … I’ve never added a cockpit. But I think you just have to add the parent folder, rebuild. Then declare it on ckpt files. IIRC, Cockpit Folder’s name has to be the same than the DB’s Vehicle name.
Hi C9! There is no “empty” parent in stock DB. The 3DDB is “defraged” and the “unused” parents listed by 3DDB.exe check must NOT be blindly trusted because it can’t take in account hardcoded parents (critical!). So add the last parent ID + 1.
EDIT: I will try to provide a list of Harcoded Parents that must NOT be used. If I forgot, remind me please.
Will try when im back. Thanks!
C9 i used both cmd and powershell with no luck. Ill see maybe is a thing on my Win10 wrong…Στάλθηκε από το SM-J500F μου χρησιμοποιώντας Tapatalk

About the empty parents?
There are no empty. So you get nothing cause there is nothing to get.Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-T818A using Tapatalk

Exactly which DB are you trying to get the parents list from?? Just so we are clear!!
About the empty parents?
There are no empty. So you get nothing cause there is nothing to get.You are 100% incorrect. If he is trying to get the parent list on the stock DB, though there are no empty parents, it will still generate a list of the Hardcoded parents!!

Arty, maybe you should read the thread instead of just posting things that are not correct??

If you want you can also use last parent +10, doesn’t need to be +1.
I leave a gap between the last KTO and first CET from about 500-1000.
The next update of KTO will contain new parents but these will not interfere with the CET specific parents.Just some advice… first learn what the benefits are of all the new DB stuff.
This will make your life in the future a lot easier.
As well as looking at the new features the BMS editor brings.Gr Falcas

Maybe allocating some slots to each theaters could be a something practical in the future.
Such as a range … Balkans from 5000 to 6000 , CET from 6000 to 7000 , EMF from 7000 to 8000 … etc …
… or …
as a dedicated “id” like 1 for Balkans, 2 for CET, 3 for EMF … etc …
So that starting from 5000 (for example) each theaters could use his own allocated Id.
Balkans: 5001 ; 5011 ; 5021 …
CET: 5002 ; 5012 ; 5022 …
EMF: 5003 : 5013 : 5023 …That way we could have then 9 different Id allocations dedicated to the nine main theaters …
Thoughts.

C9 I read it. Sorry if im wrong.
Looks obvious since there are no empty parents to get no result, but you know better. thanx for clearing it out. -

Way to complicated and not needed at all.

What happens when there’s 13 theaters??!!!?? :uham: :lol: :lol:
And what constitutes a main theater?? :suspicious: :wacko: :noidea:
Of course these are rhetorical questions, so no need to elaborate Dee-Jay!!! LOL

Yep, this is what happens when you don’t have a written uniformed manual of modding this great sim, more like gossip and hear say, and good luck in getting desired results

You are correct, and that is a shame, but there’s really never been a comprehensive manual at all through the history of Falcon.
The problem is, there is just way to many things that would have to be written into a complete manual, it would probably far exceed the amount of pages included in the US tax code/law, which as of this date is 73,954 pages!!! :uham:

Yep, hell must have froze over we finally agree on somethin, well it would help to get a link to a up to date lod editor that would be a start , I know for a fact a installer could be attached to a mod ,because someone here was nice enough to hook me up with the f-4 pit and that had a installer and directions to install it,…
