1.1 View Rotation Limit Tweak + Russian Seat Fix

View Rotation Limit Tweak

You already know the cockpit view rotation limits can be tweaked.

I will show you my setting and some comparison of various settings.

To tweak the limits, you edit \Config\View\server.lua .

This is my setting. I extended the limits as much as I could.

-- Camera angle limits {horizontal angle max, vertical angle min, vertical angle max}

CameraAngleLimits = {}

CameraAngleLimits[PlaneIndex.iSu_27] = {160.0, -76.0, 110.0}

CameraAngleLimits[PlaneIndex.iSu_33] = {160.0, -79.0, 110.0}

CameraAngleLimits[PlaneIndex.iSu_25] = {109.0, -70.0, 105.0}

CameraAngleLimits[PlaneIndex.iSu_39] = {116.0, -85.0, 110.0}　　<--Su-25T

CameraAngleLimits[PlaneIndex.iMiG_29] = {160.0, -80.0, 110.0}

CameraAngleLimits[PlaneIndex.iMiG_29K] = {140.0, -65.0, 90.0}

CameraAngleLimits[PlaneIndex.iA_10] = {160.0, -72.0, 110.0}

CameraAngleLimits[PlaneIndex.iF_15] = {160.0, -81.0, 110.0}

You don't want to lower the 'vertical angle min' beyond my setting, or you will see the unfinished portion of the cockpit.

In A-10, you will see the chaff and flare counters more easily by extending the limits. This is an example of the beauties of the tweak. (The counters have a mixed-up bug. The chaff counter shows how many flares are left and vice versa with the flare counter.)

For Su-27, Su-33, MiG-29, A-10 and F-15, you can set the 'horizontal angle max' according to your preference.

See this picture for the comparison. I recommend 150 to 160 for realistic feel. And for movie making, full backward view might be interesting.

Your setting is only effective on single player play. On multiplayer play, the hosts will force you to use their settings, so that everybody will play in the equal condition.

I also list the factory default values for your convenience.

CameraAngleLimits[PlaneIndex.iSu_27] = {140.0, -75.0, 90.0}

CameraAngleLimits[PlaneIndex.iSu_33] = {140.0, -75.0, 90.0}

CameraAngleLimits[PlaneIndex.iSu_25] = {95.0, -65.0, 90.0}

CameraAngleLimits[PlaneIndex.iSu_39] = {110.0, -80.0, 90.0}

CameraAngleLimits[PlaneIndex.iMiG_29] = {140.0, -75.0, 90.0}

CameraAngleLimits[PlaneIndex.iMiG_29K] = {140.0, -65.0, 90.0}

CameraAngleLimits[PlaneIndex.iA_10] = {140.0, -65.0, 90.0}

CameraAngleLimits[PlaneIndex.iF_15] = {140.0, -80.0, 90.0}

Russian Seat Fix

After you extend the horizontal view limit of the Russian aircraft, you will see the weird look of the headrest. I made a mod to fix it.

1.1 Cockpit Reflection + Russian Seat Mod

You can see the larger pic of the new seat.

You will see sometimes the brightness difference between the right and left half of the headrest. That is because of how the texture mapped and something I can not handle.

Enjoy!

I Love You!!! :D

Good work! Thanks TekaTeka!

You're our hero!

Now we (no me, Im too busy trying to figure out why my cockpit zoom isn't working) can make aerobatic movies, like with hud-camera's facing the pilot.

I forgot to post the actual photos I refered to.

Damn good TekaTeka!!!! You should have done this when LOMAC first came out!!! Nicely done!!!

HOw did you fix the Russie Headrest problem anyway? Just curious.

(Remember the mod works only for 1.1FC.)

ED made it possible. In 1.02 there was a gap in the middle of the headrest and nobody could fix it.

In 1.1, ED filled the gap, but they didn't finish the texture. So I did. Of course, a lot of photoshop work was needed. :rolleyes:

I Love You!!! :D

I am only physically attracted to you. I am sorry, that is the way it is.

;) :D

thx

rekoal

Excellent work TekaTeka!!!

How do you disable snapviews, or something like that, because my view angles haven't changed (yes I edited the server.lua)

Great job mate!

One question.

How u know all these things ?

TekaTeka you are da man!!!

Nice work TekaTeka - never realised I had chaff/flare counters in my A-10 pit till I read this post....

Like your Sig too, look forward to it getting bigger (as you add more tweaks) !!

OOOH .......... my Great Heathen God !!!!!!! I Thank You !!! :icon_pray :icon_pray :icon_pray

I am speechless . . .

Very Impressive! :D

Genius!! definitely worth a rep point. :icon_weed

I wasnt going to download Lo-Man again. You changed my mind.

Excelent work.

Thanks for the comments and the reputations, people! :smile:

I'm very glad you liked it.

Ruggbutt found there is a mixed-up bug on the counters.

He reported it in the 'Bug List' thread.

In the A10 the Chaff counter shows how many flares are left and vice versa w/the Flare counter.

Thanks for your work Teka!

I installed the View Rotation mod and it seems to work just fine. I can turn my head further back.

I also installed the Russian Seat Mod Loman version. Does it work for the Su-25t? I don't see it in that aircraft. I just see a solid gray head rest.

Thanks.

Hi, AStotzer. :)

ED didn't finish the back portion of the cockpit of Su-25 and Su-25T. So, I don't recommend to set 'horizontal angle max' numbers beyond my example values for those two aircraft.

CameraAngleLimits[PlaneIndex.iSu_25] = {109.0, -70.0, 105.0}

CameraAngleLimits[PlaneIndex.iSu_39] = {116.0, -85.0, 110.0}

Another fine job, thanks!

Indeed ..............thnx ;-) awesome job
