RELEASE: Blk40/42 HUD Mod
-
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…

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
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!

Mate that’s a bug in the base install. Check a vanilla version of bms.

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.

Great! Thank you mate!

Dee-Jay, can we make a request that Harpoon’s HUD mod be included in a future release/update of BMS?

Of course you can.
We will talk about that inside the team…
however … not sure it will be … I’m for it, but it is a team, not everybody think the same… and maybe some good reasons exist to not include it (With/without body… theaters compatibility) etc …
… (?)Need to be discussed …
-
One suggestion I think that could be workable, would be to have an addon install pack like FF does for their cockpit pack. That way mods that may not get 100% unanimous approval from the full team due to particular issues, like theatre compatibilty, or TIR with Harpoons, can be installed with one click. Or the use can pick whichever mods and their individual options (Pilot body or none) from one basic installer. End users could have their own custome installs, while protecting the basic BMS install that is being worked on by the core Devs. This also would enhance mulitplayer stability. Justy a thought from me, that’s all.

VERY good idea Chuckles .
