RELEASE: Blk40/42 HUD Mod
-
How to install this with update 6?
-
The method is the same, DL and intall. Only problem that you will have different DB then U6, because as I know small DB changes were made since U4 and the DB which contains the pit is based on much older DB.
IMHO should be released the pack independently with and integration description.

…-43-1-1…
-43? What T.O. is that?
so, someone should donate a block 40 before or after CCIP type -34, so we can see why the block 40 HUD does not fit…
CCIP did not change the HUD, not in the USAF, which AFAIK, is the only one actually doing CCIP. Other countries or F-16 users call their update differently AFAIK.
Turkish F-16 are changing HUD. ROKAF is mix on their block 52, etc. -

Too bad, in that case I won’t use it as it may introduce other problems.
Any way to workaround?

For my MOD Ramsay have exported the cockpit stuff. Theoretically I can do the doc and I can upload the LODs. I will test today.

Molni, have you managed to get this complete? Thank you very much in advance - I’d love to use the Blk40 HUD with U6.

Ask Ramsey. The method is not so complicated. You need the right cockpit dat files and you have to overwrite with LE the LODs what are used the parents what are listed in the dat file.
I have these lines in my MOD.
// the LOD models to use.
cockpitmodel 3138;
cockpitmodel2 3139;
cockpitmodel3 3140;
cockpithudmodel 3141;
cockpitcanopymodel 3142;The comment in wrong because the numbers are parents and each parents has only one LOD. These sould be replaced with the LODs of F-16C 40/42’s pit.

Oh, I probably won’t be able to pull this off - I have no experience at all with falcon modding I don’t know what LE is where the LODs are put what are the parents and which dat file Thanks anyway - I’ll rather try to replace Blk40s in Osan for 50s in the campaign (at least I hope it is doable in the default editor)
-
Overwriting the LODs is easy enough, but what’s the deal with .dat files? I can’t find any tutorials explaining what you’re supposed to do with them.
-
thats the easy part those are copy and paste into there respective folders
-
Aha. But does this come with the pilot model? I saw someone else post that they would like the manual install to come without the pilot….as would I.
-
The last link on the front page is the manual install pack. and lod 3 and cockpit hud are the only ones you need for everything to work minus the pilot body. Thats how I have it set up now
-
So just cockpitmodel3.lod and cockpithudmodel.lod, plus the .dat files? I’ve heard that the .lods are not MP critical, is it the same for .dat files?
-
yup those are the only files you need. and none are MP critical
-
Nice, thanks.
-
soo where do i put the .lod files???
-
-
whoop!! whoop!! nice job on this one … i get a pilot with legs and the kneeboards that work…
-
Ok…what did I do wrong this time? I don’t recall this happening the last time I installed the HUD.
-
I dont remember what the name of the number is. i think its the number in the 3000’s. Any who you need to make sure you go back into LOD editor and update them one by one otherwise you get that. Its happened to me before
