Here gents…I give you the Helios F-18 profile (wip)

These callbacks are not suppose to exist in 4.35 but I suppose they may be hanging around and will be removed in versions to come
AFCanopyToggle 322 0 0X2E 2 0 0 1 “LEFT WALL: CANOPY - Toggle Open/Close”
AFCanopyOpen 322 0 0XFFFFFFFF 0 0 0 1 “LEFT WALL: CANOPY - Open”
AFCanopyClose 322 0 0XFFFFFFFF 0 0 0 1 “LEFT WALL: CANOPY - Close”Using AFCanopyLock and AFCanopyUnlock works just fine for the Hornet. So I suppose using Lock and Unlock makes sense but not sure why they made it different than the Viper open and close for the canopy.
You are exactly right, and in 2 regards…
- I, too, was wondering how long the old callback would work. Time to “fix it before it broke”
- I tested the keyboard commands first, and it worked exactly like the Viper. Opening /closing the canopy only worked if unlocked, BUT, the lock function was tied to the canopy switch. (ie:the lock/unlock command lowers/raises the canopy)
So, into the 3dbutton.dat-the new callbacks were tied to the existing hotspot, and you get -
AFCanopyUnlock -1.12040 -1.123762 -1.598873 20 322 1
AFCanopyLock -1.12040 -1.123762 -1.598873 20 322 2
AFCanopyLockToggle -1.12040 -1.123762 -1.598873 20 322 1
I put the toggle in as “insurance”. Now, Left mouseclick opens, and right closes the canopy, with the new callbacks. BTW, I did it that way, rather then with increase/decrease, as the Dash-1 said the canopy warning is tied to lock switch position.
All, This is now in the Mafia Files . Also, don’t forget to do this for each jet with the Mod 2 'pit, and for each theater.

Good Day, All,
At the request of my Mafia Buddies, I’ve made a Zip file for the Mafia Files, it’s in the Mediafile. Let me know if you have problems with it .
The “news of the day” is that the Mafia has offered to help Chuckles (Korea 2012) and the gang working on the Nevada theater with Bug, Rhino, and Panther stuff. Now that I have partners who, unlike me, know what they’re doing, I’m wondering just where we can take the F-35 in BMS. More on that later.
Right now, thanks to Brother Smartaxe, I’m working on bringing the Panther to other theaters…. -
Thanks for zipping it up. But still don’t see a zip in this mafia folder…

Just same files as before. Did you zip it outside of this folder?

I’ve only had a chance to glance at this but it looks fantastic. How about we get together and get this in the Fighters Manual?

Hi, there.
Sorry about that. I was working with a new PDF tool. It’s in Mediafile now, plus I emailed it to you. -
Here gents…I give you the Helios F-18 profile (wip)
Fantastic! I have it on my main monitor in the editor, no errors, but for some reason I can’t steal the images from the Dashboard or texture panels and move them to my secondary monitors as I have done for all the other profiles? Double-cliking on the image has no effect (in the past it would put a green outline on the image and allow a copy/paste). Something i’m doing wrong i’m sure, any idea? I won’t be using touchscreen or keyfile, just some gauges and 3rd MFD images…
Edit: Playing with it a bit more and the “SYSTEM”, “CHARTS”, and “RWR” images do give the green box, but thats it…

You will have to unlock all the layers first. In the layers view select the open lock icon that has a dot on it or hover over each lock icon until you find the unlock all one. Once it’s unlocked you can select the objects.

I just wanna say thanks to the project team. I’m a Rhino driver mostly, so I really appreciate all the extra stuff you guys do. Any chance of getting the formation lighting working on the E/F models?

Hi, Vyrago,
The Rhino’s formation lights, refueling probe, and launch bar modeling are all on the Mafia Hit List -
Good Day, All
I just did a little “housekeeping” in the Mafia File Zip file. It now contains 2 new things.- The fix for the Horent cockpit needle/gauge fix
- The “Hornet Flavored” Main Checkist in .png form, if you want to use it on the WDP kneeboards.
Meanwhile, the Mafia is still rolling, with 3 projects currently. We have Wheelchock’s Helios Hornet cockpit, helping the Nevada Theater Team where we can, and Brother Smartaxe has worked out a way to put jets in other theaters (ex:F-35 in Balkans) . We’ll be incorporating these into the Manual and such, as soon as I figure out how to do it
PS: The new Nevada Theater comes with all our Hornet Bells and Whistles.

I have a question for the Group. A friend and I are in the process of setting up MP a Hornet Ops off carriers, and I had a thought.
I was thinking about Brother Stalker and the good work he does with the Viper. I got to wondering if there is any interest out there in doing the same kind of thing but with the Hornet? -

the Mafia Folder in MediaFire is not working
Hi, Seb,
Sorry you’re you’re having trouble. What’s it doing(or not doing) ? I tested in my usual way (copy/paste link to Chrome, select the zip, download and unzip) and it’s working for me.
If it helps, I also put everything in unzipped form in a new Mafia Files Folder. Let me know if you still have problems .
All,
A friend of mine had made me skins for my favorite squadron, VFA-113, for Bug and Rhino. I’ve decided to share them. They’re in the BMS f-18 skins and sounds folder -
Hi, Seb, and All,
I’m not sure what happened to the Mediafile link, but i think it’s fixed.
Try-https://www.mediafire.com/folder/fr34rj0apgr4j/BMS_Mafia_Files -
Here’s one more update for the day…
I got a request to tweak the Bug cockpit in 4.34 with the added functionality. It’s now in the Mafia Files.
BTW, sorry about the confusion with the MFile link today. I learned that every time you changes things in there you get a new link.
Oops.
The current link is https://www.mediafire.com/folder/fr34rj0apgr4j/BMS_Mafia_Files
I hope -
