F-14D Cockpit
-
Are the system units in feet? You first replied that they are but now say they are in cm.
Changing the display unit will have no effect. That is just the way Max displays measurements to you.
The system unit is the important one. The cockpit dat exporter does not convert i.e. if you have system units set to cm then that means there are 1 internal Max unit per cm. The exporter exports the coordinates for the cockpit hotspots based on the Max unit.
It can be a pain to change the system unit, you will have to rescale things. Best if you wait and I will edit the exporter to convert the units.

I know my bad…I said yes meaning that I had checked them and everything was consistent ( ie. metric), couldn’t imagine that I actually need imperial!
Falcon modding is a world full of wonderful surprises!
Thanks again Dave… Will wait patiently again!

As one been through a big car accedent, I know how you feel and hope everything goes well with your surgery with speedy recovery after that!

You have an internal infection and you spend your time modeling an F-14pit!? Dam! :shock:
That makes you the John Wayne of the BMS Community! :headb: One tough son af b***.
All luck to you on your second surgery and hope for a fast recovery m8. -
The problem I am having is that the values given by the exporter are non-sense, and no where near the ones on the F-16 cockpit. See below:
//F-14D
SimCBEOSB_1L -29,37226 5,197480 38,999111 20 129 1
//F-16 by Nanard
SimCBEOSB_1L -2.329097 0.660677 -1.023423 20 126 1
Doesn’t make any sense!! If I replace the F-16 values in my file the hotspots are not that far from where they should be so the values should be quite similar.
Anyone knows what I´m doing wrong?

Hi Pepe, looks like your numbers are off by 1 decimal place, perhaps if you divided your values by 10 eg:
SimCBEOSB_1L -2.937226 0.5197480 3.8999111 20 129 1
It might work. Also, I see you’re using , instead of . for your decimal place which might affect your values.

Good news!!! Came back from the doctor today and no need to have a second surgery YET. The infection seems to be healing with the antibiotics…he wants to check it again in a week.:D
Benchie, already tried that! But thanks! Dave has given me a few more tips I still have to try.
Cheers!

Thanks again! Just trying to not bother you for a while…;)
Now I have a lovely green circle where my HUD should be!!
1 step closer…1000 to go!

Hey guys!
Just a quick update of how things are going…
With the invaluable help of WaveyDave, I´ve managed to make the MFDs completely functional with working OSBs and I´ve also managed to make the HUD work properly. The pit now feels much more believable and is much more functional! Managed to do a few carrier landings with it!! Turns out I had all sorts of issues with export scales, system units, hotspots units…
I´ve now moved onto instruments and gauges, with DOFS and switches….and of course again I ran into trouble. WDave is generously helping me again but if anybody else feels confident with this it would be great if they could give me a hand to reduce his workload! :p… He´s been very patient…till now I haven’t given up on the modelling, I know there is still a lot to do, but I feel like knowing what lays ahead will help me be more efficient in the modelling in the future.
Its just hard to work on this as I have no previous experience modding Falcon or for any other sim…and there is not a lot of documentation or general information out there. I feel like I probably was way too ambitious with the project and it might not go anywhere without heavy input from the people that know, the “savoir faire”. Still, I’m having fun and I am learning a lot which where two of the main goals for starting this adventure!
Have a nice bank holiday, UK people, and a not too bad Monday for everybody else!

PS: BMS Team, is it ok to put the BMS logo in the InGame images?
