Thanks for this.

Someone knows historical F-16 cockpit analogue backup gauges' real movings?

My topic is about Altimeter's rotary feet numbers display.
In today's Java codes, those feet numbers count-up/down 1 by 1 like a digital.
This behavior is "can be", but almost of those rotary numbers display work in smooth analogue one (like F-4 PhantomII Mods cockpit).
But about "Good look read capability" is better for 1 by 1 count style.

If someone tell me the historical style of F-16, I can apply it in Java codes.

Google "Falcon BMS F-16 video", you will find plenty of boring cockpit videos of the most realistic F-16 sim.

Thanks Tom2.

With your help, I get this screenshot from a movie.


It seems the rotary numbers I want to know is rotating smooth as analogue.
I'll change the Java codes to make it.

I got this jet working in 4.13, thank  you.

Today I bought "General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon Manual (Haynes Owners' Workshop Manuals)"

Japanese translated version published in Japan.

I'll study more about F-16 for modding it.

WOW !

Gentlemen,

My block 52 does not look like the published screen shot, no fuselage bulges. My setup works just fine, so what am I missing? 

Thanks.

Do you mean "Conformal fuel tanks" ?

How about choose the loadouts starting with the text "CFT +" ?

[SaS~JackS]

Thank you Western.

The CFT+ made no change. I recall in a different setup (now gone) that I did get the external view that you have published but I forgot the exact setup I had. If this is what changes the external view, perhaps I'm missing something. I do get a normal 'block 40' external view with the 'CFT+' loadout.

Do I need the weapons folder or the modern weapons folder?

Why is the Cobra folder required?

Keep up the great work!!

Jack

EDIT: I just checked my CUP setup and I DO get the correct view, so my other setup is the issue. I'll keep checking.

SOLVED!!

Yet another awesome addition !
Thanks to everyone for bringing us the Viper.
Im also having the no cockpit issue , Ive checked all the requirements for it to work and I tried resizing the Pit1.tga to 1024 with no luck.
Any ideas what I need to do now ?

I think you might use GIMP or Photoshop in resizing pit1.tga into 1024x1024.
In that time, you seemed to save the file without any option specifying / quick overwriting onto the old file.

Without Uncheck the "Use RLE compress" option button, TGA file is saved with RLE format automatically -- that is not supported by IL-2 1946.

> INTERNAL ERROR: TGA: Unsupported format (RLE encoding) in 3DO/Cockpit/F16ViperII/pit1.tga

One more time open "pit1.tga" , save in another name menu -- Uncheck RLE compress option -- save without changing the filename.
