Iris Pro series F-14 --> I need help please

Found another BananaBob texture.

One more BananaBob IRIS F-14 texture I found. This one is for one of VF-31's last Tomcats. It is a photoreal texture, originaly done in FSX for the PRO FSX version, but back dated by Bob for FS9. Details in Bob's readme.

Just uploaded to the library. Watch for it soon.

It's up now.
 
Fantastic! :salute:

By the way, you don't need to convert them:

1) backup one of your existing folders with all the dds files in there.
2) copy all the dirty bmp files that have a dds version in the pro series folder
3) delete every dds file that has a dirty bmp version

(so basically you need to replace every dds file with their bmp version and leave the rest alone)


Back to one of my first posts: Yesterday I flew around in the Tomcat, and I managed to get ILS vectors on my HUD by setting the NAV to the given frequencies. So they're there after all. But then how come they don't work with the AI carriers? I set the nav to 112 - no joy. I change the frequency in the carrier.xml file to 118, so I can tune my com to that - no joy. What am I missing here?

In my opinion, one of the best repaints for FSX ever done...not to mention he made it for me :)

A print I had framed:

AJ-101 holds a special place in my heart.

ILS for the Carriers is special calculation done within the HUD xml code for each individual aircraft. Go and get Dino Cattaneo's T45 and look in the HUD xml code in the area of the ILS code. You will see all the special coding to make the ILS function with the Carriers or the regular NAV radios. It is xml so it is not straight forward to read but it you compare the two in the same general area you may be able to get an idea of what is going on to make the carriers ILS work.

It is not generic by any means and each HUD must be custom programmed for it to function which is why very few planes will actually display on the HUD. The fact that freeware developers go to this much work is a real testament to there dedication and generosity to the community.

Thanks for the advice, I'll try to merge that part in to the IRIS file. I'll let you know if I succeed.

PS: this bird is on sale right now, for 10 bucks it's an absolutely MUST-HAVE!
 
I think it might be a bit more than a merge, but don't let that deter you as I would like to see the ILS for carriers work on the bird also. You will definitely be very fluent in xml when your done with the task. :)

I second that - this is pretty cutting edge stuff and the work of others is very much appreciated.
 
Great work on my favorite, never thought of merging the VC's, I fly both versions regularly. Good luck on the HUD, I've had some "fun" trying to learn xml gauges recently.

Thanks for the info on the FS9 paints, had most if not all of BB's for the FS9 version and wanted to get them in FSX.
 
Re FS9 paints, there are two texture bmps you might need to copy and paste from another working repaint, the "maingear_left" and "maingear_right" (or something like that) for the gear and gear doors to be textured . .
 
Just wondering if anyone would be able/ willing to redo the tomcat's interior textures to show some wear and tear like has been done with some of the A2A aircraft?
 
I really hope that we will be able to land the Iris F-14 at night on a moving carrier. Maybe Javier gets his 1980's Nimitz ready with Cats on Deck... -hopefully he is still working on it?

Hi,
For your information, I've sent to Iris a F-14 HUD gauge modified to inclued moving carrier Tacan/ILS features.
I'm waiting for their feedback so far, but I hope they'll like it...:icon_lol:

Regards,
Sylvain
 
Any message arrived from IRIS, Sylvian? Could'nt you sent the gauge you made to the people who are interrested in it via PM, only for testing if it works correct? :)
 
Sylvian, anything new? I realy want your working HUD. I don't understand why IRIS does not give you a "go" to release it to the community. It takes too long now...
