Today we are working on a Main Checklist for the Fifth Gen. Pit
-
Here is an update about the 5G Pit. There is a new folder in the Mafia Files https://www.mediafire.com/folder/rjcqs47acvun4/Fifth+Generation+Cockpit
It contains the latest version of the 3dbutton.dat file. You install it in -x/BMS 4.36/your theater that has the OFM db 1.5 or greater/Art/CkptArt/ your jets folder. If you have trouble figuring out the folder, contact us here or on our Discord.
The 5G Pit folder also contains a main Checklist and Metalhead’s original PDF
This project is still somewhat a WIP. There are 1-2 things we’d still like to do in the 'pit, plus we’d like to “pretty up” the Docs. But, we wanted to get this to you, it will get you airborne. -
@drtbkj hello , I am curious to see how your 5G pit looks like, could you post a screenshot ?
-
-

Hi, Radium, and ALL, I was afk for a couple of days. Here are the screenshots-
Also, I’ve written a Main Checklist which may help. I can’t seem to drop them here, but I’ll have it in the Mafia Files by tonight.

Here is an Update regarding the Fifth Gen Cockpit.
https://www.mediafire.com/folder/zc2p4p3cpoj4b/OFM+5G+PitThe folder contains a Checklist, explanation of cockpit changes, and Metalhead’s original DOC.
We want to thank Metalhead again for building the original cockpit. -
@drtbkj thank you ! I guess this is Metalhead’s F22 cockpit with Buzzz legs and my UMPC for Mirage 2000D right ?

And people always think I’m joking when I say I wrote the first BMS Manual…!
“How to cook a Munga Bean without incurring its wrath”
Hee hee…

@Aragorn glad I still have the proof I still use parentheses (too much).

Good Day, All. Today’s update is regarding Chuckles/Osprey/OFM Theaters compatibility with 4.36.3.
We found an issue in OFMKTO that affected mission assignment to some forces.
The fix is- https://www.mediafire.com/folder/iay35ggdwn5sy/OFMKTO+File+Fix+for+4.36.3Beyond that, we are checking the other Theaters and have not found issues. Let us know if you find any.

Here’s another update on U3 Theater compatibility. OFM-Balkans, Viet Nam, and the about to be released Nevada all test out fine.
Also, the F-35C has been added to the Dogfight modules. -
@drtbkj
Guess what, Fra’?
Nevada OFM 1.5 has been released, and it’s a wonder.
No surprises there, I am not surprised either: when the stuff is of good quality…With best compliments and regards.

Thanks, Compadre. You see Fra’ Joe’s is still in there?
Actually living in Nevada gives me extra appreciation of this Theater. Besides the Fallon Fix (Fallon being where the rl modern TopGun and more is ), we’ve gone a slightly different direction with the Top Gun and the campaign formerly known as Mission Illogical. As a homage to Chuckles, we tried to make TG more like Carrier Max, and MI more like XPlane. . -
Good Day, All. For today’s update we present a new channel over on our Discord. If you check out the "OFM Release " channel you find links to Theaters we build or help with.
I should mention that all are U3 compatable. We are at the 1.5.1 versions, but the 1.5’s have all the flight model stuff we’ve done. 5.1 just adds changes from the Radar Project and the latest 5G Pit changes.
Speaking of Theaters, I just got done flying the new Kuriles Theater and really liked it. Think Taiwan but with Migs. -
@drtbkj
Ah, the new Nevada, Fra’?
I saw the results, yeah. Good luck with it - to all of us.With best regards.

Good Day, All
Today’s update is about the Fifth Gen Pit. We have been working with the ergonomics and have made a few changes.
https://www.mediafire.com/folder/6jxl2bqk0ylfw/OFM+5G+Pit has the latest files and DOCS.
As previously stated, our goal is to enable you to ramp start and fight the jet without keyboard input. To do that we have been dealing with the reality that some modern functions don’t have a cockpit indications when activated, one example being AVTR. So, our plan was to put a “non-indicated” function(s) on a visible switch or knob. However, we found that some don’t visibly move once the hotspot is adjusted. So, what we have done in a couple of cases is to make the commands foolproof. So, left clicking on the center MFD OSB 11 turns AVTR on, and right click turns it off. Left clicking on the ext.lgt. master knob is NORM, and right click is off. All the changes are listed in the README.We would welcome any cockpit builder who would like to help with the switch/knob “visualization” issue. Barring that, we feel fairly satisfied with the pit.
