the reticle is strange because you are using the G1.him with WxTech version while I mention in my post that this him is for the basic version. If you disable WxTech mod you will see that the reticle is normal.

Other thing you can do is copy and rename WxTech hier.him into G1.him and everything should work. Between the two him there is just one mesh difference the Top3_G1.msh instead of the Top3.msh all rest is equal 

[Frankiek]

So just to clarify if you have downloaded WxTech package and you would like to use it with the G1.

You will need the G1 cockpit class files from my new download then go to the Wxtech mod go to 3do\cockpit\bf-109g-2 folder open the hier.him in notepad then rename the Top3 into Top3_G1 and save the file as G1.him.

Now it will work well enough you will miss the extended 6dof limits and few other things from WxTech class files

I would like to make matters as straightforward as possible for all concerned. Taking what's deemed udeable from my fiddling and discarding the rest, then offering a single-solution download which involves no headache-inducing brain strain would be ideal. 😉  Then I could delete my d/l link and any confusing posts in this thread.

It was my hope that a unified, one-source pack would result, which is why I jumped in quickly and early to make my changes.

I don't think that things are very complicated I installed your suggestions as a separate mod (just ensuring that loads first and in BAT works very well for both the G-2 and G-1 cockpits.
On the other hand if you provide me with the classes for the G-1 cockpit I can prepare a complete download pack that has all the options. Unfortunately your class tweaking has features incompatible with 4.09-4.10 versions.

eeede

Aaahhhh... I thought you were Java capable, which is why I included the snippets. I'll supply all relevant Java classes shortly, including 4.09. Should be within a couple hours...

I'm going over the cockpit classes, and find an odd discrepancy. For the 4.12+ G-1 and G-2 classes we have:

Code: [Select]

    private int getLoadoutType()
    {
        String s = ((NetAircraft) (aircraft())).thisWeaponsName.toUpperCase();
        if(s.startsWith("R6-MG151-20") || s.startsWith("R3R6-MG151-20"))
            return 2;
        if(!s.startsWith("default") && !s.startsWith("R1") && !s.startsWith("R2"))
            if(!s.startsWith("R3-DROPTANK"));
        return 1;
    }

It seems odd that the code, after checking that the loadout name does NOT start with any of "default", "R1" or "R2", it then checks that the name also does NOT start with "R3-DROPTANK" to return a LoudoutType of 1. It's the same as this, which would be tidier if this is what's intended:

Code: [Select]

        if(!s.startsWith("default") && !s.startsWith("R1") && !s.startsWith("R2") && !s.startsWith("R3-DROPTANK"));
        return 1;

(Note: The "!" means NOT.)


For the 4.09 class we have:

Code: [Select]

    private int getLoadoutType()
    {
        String s = ((NetAircraft) (aircraft())).thisWeaponsName.toUpperCase();
        if(s.startsWith("R6-MG151-20") || s.startsWith("R3R6-MG151-20"))
            return 2;
        if(!s.startsWith("default") && !s.startsWith("R1") && !s.startsWith("R2"))
            if(s.startsWith("R3-DROPTANK"));
        return 1;
    }

Here a LoadoutType of 1 is returned when the loadout name DOES start with "R3-DROPTANK". This seems a logical construction.

Is the 4.12+ class code wrong?

My post #30 (on page 3) has just been updated, and where the link for my own adjustments to download is found. As before, one muct already have the original mod installed; I provide only the specific files that I've altered.

I present the same tweaked cockpit elements as before. The new additions are:
- the adjusted G1.him (for the G-1 and G-3)
- the cockpit classfiles for both 4.12+ and 4.09
- instrument textures having formerly pitch black faces a now slightly lighter tone

Guys, what an amazing job! The cockpit now works great, and those gore and oil effects!!! sometimes I also manage to see them from the outside. I wish we could have the  same in other planes like spits etc! but for the time being thank you for keeping this game alive with all these mods!

Reticle brightness adjustment mod doesn't work in Frankiek and Frankiek + WxTech cockpits: https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,65288.0.html
The message 'GunSight on' is displayed but the crosshair reticle does not appear. In the original mod, Freddy is OK.

... I tried to port this new G2 cockpit to Barnesy's MTO 109 pack, but to no avail ... 

So, since I mainly fly in the MTO, I decided to use the G-2 and new Freddy's cockpit instead of the G-2 Trop, and thus lose the Trop filter (after all, in cockpit view the Trop filter can't be seen ...)

Regarding the Reticle ON/OFF, in real life the reticle was OFF by default even after engine start up ... 

The reticle OFF position was particularly useful upon take off and above all upon landing, in the evening or at night, or in bad weather conditions, as the pilot wasn't dazzled or distracted ...
