Iris F-15 C/D Mod

FSX Acceleration!
Hi Guys for some reason I got the urge to fly my old Iris F15 today and well that default hood is no good, causes terrible frames and looks awful in acceleration so I swapped it for the F18 HUD available at flightsim.com, Here how I did it if you would also like the modification.

Firstly download this ... http://dfs2.flightsim.com/kdlr.php?fn=realistic_hud_fsx_hornet.zip

Then open the panel.cfg of the Iris F15 and add the two F18 gauge files to the panel folder, then open the panel.cfgthen add this to the [Vcockpit01] setion ...
gauge00=FA18_HUD_VC_R!FA18_HUD_VC_R, 175,0,735,980, and then you'll have a brand new hood that works and looks great! I highly recommend getting the textures by Zsolt Beleznay, Mike Pearson and Andy Nott.

No problem Don, its the only F15 we've got at present I'm also working on the Iris strike eagle, I've done the MFD's replacing them with Acceleration ones and working on the HUD glass, I'll post any progress tonight with a few cold ones after work!
 
My Iris F-15E ported over with everything working except for one problem...the thrust levers go into max power as soon as the plane loads into flightsim, and engine speeds are stuck at 100%. Did yours do that?

Interesting. Mine on FSX/A, no. No problem except having to replace the compass.

Yeah I fixed that throttle problem quite easily, as for the MFD's I didn't think the left and right one worked I'll have to take a look at that, the HUD need's fixing as it has that Green box around it, I replaced the actual HUD but I need to fix the Glass!

What was the throttle fix? I sure could use it.
 
Throttle fix for the F-15E, open the panel.cfg scroll to the [Vcockpit01] section then completely remove (gauge02=F15E_Gauges!Afterburner FDC, 1,1,20,20) and thats it!:salute:
 
Has anybody managed to fix this problem with the HUD or know what texture is responsible for the E, I want rid of that Green?
Also could some show what gauge to use for the compass replacement!

The compass is the easy bit: In the panel.cfg, simply refer to the stock FSX/A DG808 version:

[Window00]
...
gauge25=DG808S!dg808s_compass, 869,17,91,91

[Vcockpit03]
...
gauge55=DG808S!dg808s_compass, 911,19,96

The green bits in the VC HUD are not so easy, you need to edit the MDL files using Martin Wright's MDLMat tool. Change the Alpha value on the VC HUD LOD - Diffuse from 75 to 0. In some MDL's it is LOD 02 14, other are LOD 02 15 or LOD 02 16.

Here you can find Martin Wright's brilliant tools - look for MDLMat: http://www.btinternet.com/~mnwright/

Thank you so very much,something I have been wanting to know.:jump:
 
Great stuff by IRIS! The A/C and E models seem to port over pretty well for me. Made the changes suggested in this thread and all work well. I also removed the IRIS wingtip vortice effect, and adjusted the wingspan for both A/C and E models in the aircraft.cfg to 42.8 so the default FSX wingtip vortice displays properly. Also edited the O2 breathing sound out by renaming the "oxy.wav" file to "oxy_bak.wav." Some might like to breathing effect, I just found it rather distracting after about a minute.

Cheers,
Dave
