I did a bit more comparing. I think the texturing and model surfaces in the model I have are better than the one in the game just now. For example, the dial faces don't have a texture of the needle on them. I've attached some screen comparing them.

So I could use this cockpit model as a basi for improving the KA-50. it also has more details in some of the dials and switches than on the current model.

That Black Shark cockpit looks a LOT nicer, let's use that one instead.

For the Hokum engine gauges, there are a couple of ways to do it. The easy way is to add another MFD that blends into the existing dash right where the engine gauges go. The Hokum is only using one, so we have three more in the code that are open to use. I'll work on that.

Are there any documentation notes on how to add a new helicopter anywhere? or is that something I need to figure out the old fashioned way. I need to start my own set of notes so I can keep track of how to change things. It's too easy to forget a minor step here and there.

I think I thought about adding an MFD just for the guages, but it was proving tricky. I'll need to dig out what I did, as I seem to remember getting quite far with it. I'm sure I added a new MFD object, but then couldn't get it to display. I think I'd pm'd thealx about it too.

I don't think there's much in the way of documentation for adding a new helo. We should probably start adding some documentation Readme's to the github project.

From memory, there are classes for helicopter.c, and also the objects database. So I think you need to basically copy/paste the code for one of the other models in the avionics, cockpits, and dynamics directories. Change the name of it and all the references, and add the 3D models to the database. The .imf files also contain the directories to include, I think when compiling. For example cockpits.imf.

I used the search function in eclipse a lot, to find references.


Are you wanting to add a new Havoc model, or just upgrade the existing one? I kind of lost track of the conversation in this thread... maybe it could continue on this thread...

This branch had the last work I did on it. I can't remember if what I tried worked or not. The last commit was by thealx

I just realised this is Vipers model that I have from this thread

Thanks Messyhead. I'll start on the Mi-28 engine gauges, then go from there.

Hello,

yes that was the KA-50 cockpit model I made and I searched everywhere on my HD's. But now its here and we can use it biggrin

Would be really nice if some of you guys could make the instrumentation for it, because I have no clue how to do that. Could we regard this pit as done? I mean from the 3D point of view.

I had also a more detailed cabin arround those cockpit panels (see the pictures I posted before) which directly fits to the panels. I made a new one because this is the outside part of the helo you will see if you sit in the cockpit, not the fuselage which is used for the external view. I also added the rearview mirrors and amorplate which the real KA-50 has.

My external model of the KA-50 was also a lot improved and had the nose sensors too, but I have no clue how to get them working (moving).

I will upload all my work the next days, so that you could use the models for further improving.

What should we do next after the KA-50? Maybe the MI-28 cockpit? I mean a new one with a gunner seat, too.

Yes, if you have the cabin model, send that too, as I was about to start trying to fit your cockpit in the existing cabin. Same goes for the external model. I can work out how to get the parts moving.

I can start work on getting the dials working in the cockpit, and the lamps and things.

Thanks for the image, that helps a lot.

See the instrument next to the Ekran, that looks a bit like an ADI, what is that?

Do you have a detailed guide for the status lights? I suppose there's maybe a DCS manual somewhere online that I could check?

Wow,that sounds great!!!

I have to search for the last version of the 3D models I made and then I will upload all together. Sadly short before my move to the new location, my running laptop smashed to the ground while we were clearing some things out of the flat. It wasn't a real good idea to let it stand around while clearing the flat nope

This resulted in some cracks in the case and a damaged HD. Fortunately I always made backups of all the work I had done for EECH, but I have to seek for it at the HD's I have. Things get really messy the last months in the old flat, cause the termination of rental agreement came totally unexpected and I had to arrange how things will go on.

During this time I also made the last things for EECH, cause I wanted to finish the KA-50 3D project at least, as I've promised. For the backup of my work I just used the available HD's lying arround. At most of them were already tons of other mods, addons etc. for the rest of all my simulations, so I used different HD's for the backup. Not really a good idea sigh Now I have to search at all of this HD for the latest things I made for EECH.

I will now start working at the MI-28 two seater pit again. I think it should be the new version of the MI-28N. I will do this sometimes at the evening the rest of my time I have available, so things will grow up slowly the next months, till I have more time to spent somewhere arround September to October this year. I also have to cope how things working with the 3D program I used, again. The last two chaotic years cleared all the things I had already known about EECH out of my brain screwy

It's ok, I found the DCS manual, which has all the details. It's a backup ADI for the main instrument

Yes, it should be possible.

Could we move any discussion about the KA50 to the thread for it, so the discussion is all in the same place
