RELEASE: Blk40/42 HUD Mod
-
or adding an option to select to add legs or not at all, for all f-16 variants.
This is possible but it will double the size of the installer.
But I can do it if you want.
@Dee-Jay:If possible (?), make it compatible with all other theatres (understand Aegean and Balkans since they are free ) by adding also an option to install it for this theaters …
Now, this one is a bit more difficult. Since other theatres are using the same cockpit files and different model DB, so in this case the parent records have to match in all theatres. This need more cooperation with theatre makers and that’s why I wrote in the installer that it works only with korea. Basically, every theatre would require a different installer, unless we’ll be stuck in a 500Mb file with lots of useless data.
A last recomandation …
And would really like to make it a standardisation for ALL mod developers: In the folder
D:\Falcon BMS 4.32
instead of simply “backup” … it would be better to have:
D:\Falcon BMS 4.32*Add-On Backup\Harpoon’s blk40 hud* … In order to have one single standard folder for all add-On or mods … rather than “spreading files everywhere” …
Please, think about that
And that is an Excellent idea. It will be included in the next update.
Oh, and one more thing. I’m now working on those lights and will fix them today.

But I can do it if you want.Make several different installers then
People will choose what they need.
Same for theatres … …

it is still harpoons mod. Nothing fancy about it. Only reason i put up some update is becaese there where bugs so i wanted to help.
These files are also send to harpoon and he has put them in the link he had on the first page.
then i redraw my download links.nothing wrong with helping people.
dee-jay: the legs are easely to add. just first install the HUD, then the pilot legs mod that harpoon published a few weeks ago
dont add them default, many people find them blocking the pit from viewing aroundYes I have to agree it is simple enough to follow to be honest Spit. I am really appreciative of your help and input into this. Keep it up mate.
-
Agree…
Furthermore …
I would say that … if Harpoon want to keep this mod public, I suggest him to add also the pilot legs for all F-16 variant (since they are present in blk40/42 anyway in this mod) … or adding an option to select to add legs or not at all, for all f-16 variants.
And
If possible (?), make it compatible with all other theaters (understand Aegean and Balkans since they are free ) by adding also an option to install it for this theaters …
Yes, also my opinion only.
Agreed. I would like to see one install for all pits and pilot legs.

@RAM22:
Well then why don’t you stick to giving the stuff to Harpoon and let him update HIS mod and update the links, instead of first making a post with the text that your changing whatever it is, then adding your own link for that change and on and on.
Guys are getting confused all over this thread and porking their installs because of the confusion that is reigning in this thread.
Whatever,
RAM22
RAM there is nothing confusing about it mate. Very simple to follow TBH. You just need to read mate.

I think both PL_Harpoon and spit did their work/modification in the best interest. But I agree, this thread has become a bit overwhelming yet not more than the other HUD mod threads for the BLock 50/52s. If you follow the discussion there, you will see there are at least 3 different versions there as well.
My vote is for PL_Harpoon and FanOfBMS432 to have their final versions for the Block 40/42s and the Block50/52s respectively made the official patches…upgraded when necessary.
My 2 cents, carry on. And thanks again…Tom

you also have to consider that this is a very difficult mod. Large impact on the pits (lod edits) and database. That is why harpoon stated in first post to read the installer very carefully. Its not like the other HUDS in which you only have to repace a dds file with different collors.
Although they are great -
Maybe also issues with AVTR switch! … appears to be black (no textures) when place into “AUTO” or “ON” position…

That’s what I’m doing. For every found bug, I’m fixing it and upgrading the first post with a new installer.
You don’t have to do anything manually as long as you wait for the next release.
Perhaps I should number those releases… -

Will download the latest and see how it interacts with my 8005.dds mod.
And the pilot legs.That’s why I wished Falcon was as easy to mod than ‘the other sim’-IL-2. There it’s Java, you simply name a mod “F-16CG Block40/42”, put it into your “Mods” folder and there you go.
Given the complexity of Falcon, I admire guys being able to mod it-be it BMS or FF.Cheers-

I don’t think you’ll see results there CT. He made a seperate area in his own dds file, which (I didn’t check - yet - but assume)controls the HUD-view area.
Perhaps I’m wrong, but for this mod the 8005.dds is not loaded.
just my 2 cents,

FanYou’re right. This mod doesn’t use 52’s HUD textures.

Thanks Harpoon for this mod!!
But I have an issue further install your mod. the HUD on Block 40 and 42 work correctly but!
I had installed previously the skin E-3 Sentry of PumpyHead here - the skin works correctly untill that I install your mod. In fact, the skin of E-3 Sentry is modified by your setup.
As you can see in the screenshoot.Thanks for your support!

Did you installed : E3-Sentry and after Mod HUD 40/42 ?
tursiopHere is an extract from page one of this thread issued by PL_Harpoon:
“When using the installer READ THE LICENCE PAGE!!! It contains some important informations”.
What this information contains is that you need to re-install mods after the install of this HUD mod.
I have just installed the E3-Sentry for the first time after reading about it on this forum (Didn`t know it existed so thanks Tursiop) anyway it works without any problems. Hope this helps.

Ok, the groundhog day continues.
This time I made two installers. One with and one without pilot’s body.
The body applies to all F-16s.
And also fixed all known bugs.If you want to use it, uninstall your current mod (uninstaller in main Falcon folder) and install the new one.
Cheers.PS. I hope that’s the last update.
