Milviz F-15E Service Pack

Sure, but first I have to tell on myself. I had a bit of a fuzzy recollection of where the item is. In fact, it is located in the aircraft.cfg file which is located in the main aircraft folder. Some of this is recollection, but the basics are easy enough. Use the Notepad utility in your Windows O/S to open up the aircraft.cfg file which is located in the aircraft folder. The aircraft folder is located in the FSX/SimObjects/Airplanes folder and is itself named "MilViz F-15E".

Once you have it opened up, search through all the writing/coding toward the halfway point you will see a section labeled "VIEWS" and immediately below that you will see this: eyepoint = 22.4, -0.003, 2.1

Before doing anything else, please copy and paste a duplicate of that existing section and then comment it out by placing a double diagonal "//" in front of it. This comments that code section out, and it gives you a very easy way to recover if things turn ugly. If they get ugly, then merely delete the entry your edited and remove the comments (//) from the backup you just created.

Now, the three numbers you see are X, Y, and Z values. X is the forward/back value. Y is the right/left value. Z if the up/down value. The values in whole numbers roughly equal feet, and they are referenced from the defined center of the aircraft, so you can gauge how much you should adjust. If you only want to move your eyepoint back a bit, then just change the X value (which starts off at 22.4). My personal recommendation is to change it to 21.4 to move it back a bit. Again, remember that since the numbers are in feet moved from the center point of the aircraft, the values can vary substantially from aircraft to aircraft and so small initial tweaks are all that is required.

Cheers, and hope this helps you enjoy our jet a bit more.

BTW: Normally we don't provide customer support outside the MilViz forums, and Colin may well get grumpy at me for doing it this time. But, I'm not exactly giving away trade secrets on this one as this method is FSX general for all aircraft. But, please, no one take this as meaning I'm going to make a habit of this!

Thanks a bunch that did it.:salute: I went with 21.5 any farther back and you go back into the seat. Hope this doesn't cause any grumptitude to come your way.

Just a little update, if any of you have been having issues with the radar, particularly with switching between the auto aquire modes and the RWS/TWS modes, there was a undocumented change in the radar interface which slipped through my hands so that it would work perfectly for some but not for others. The issue has been fixed and Im getting KC to upload it pronto and if he is too sleepy (he has been working rather hard....) ill do it myself :icon_lol:. Apologies to all..
 
Shift 3 works for adding the ordnance to the aircraft, but when I go to view the aircraft there are no missles, bombs or fuel tanks hanging off the aircraft. What am I doing wrong?
 
Jim-- Did you try...

1. Turning UAC off
2. Checking to ensure the right entries are in your FSX.dll file?

And just for grins, I'd do a system restart too. Mine was not working, and then suddenly-- it was working. I made no changes, my UAC had been off....the only thing I can figure is that I did a restart...

Oh wow! Go away for couple of days and look what happens - way to go Milviz! i didn't see this coming AT ALL!

I wish you guys every success with this baby, and hope you can continue to keep raising the bar....
 
Rob,

I am very politely going to ask that you not call what I post as being "propaganda." I served 24 years in the USAF and retired with the rank of Major and flew over 2,500 combat sorties. I have no fewer than a dozen close and personal friends of mine whom I work with on a daiily basis who logged hours and are IP's in the F-15E, including one who graduated from the USAF Weapons School. The information I posted was for illustrative purposes only, but the background I provided was rooted in knowledge of what the USAF is working on to help keep fighter crews from having their arms dislocated or broken by rearward flail. Things change and the USAF is changing the seats in the F-15E. That is not propaganda but instead is accurate information. In addition, it was to answer a question from another customer who asked for background on it.

But beyond all that, please consider that what you post is a reflection on each of us. And I believe I have never attacked you, but rather instead tried to show great respect to you and for your views.

I thank you kindly. And please understand I will not carry further conversations with you. You have the stage sir as you may wish to use it with my compliments.

Cheers,

Ken

"Norton 360 antivirus says to have found a 'Trojan.Gen' in Milviz_F-15E.exe "Thats the F1 installer , standard warning and common to these , there is no virus , the temporary closing of norton or designation as safe will allow it to install.

So, given the choices, I released it.

I have decided to leave the price as is for now... I think that, for what it is, (good enough but not 1000000%) it's more than fair.

I would like to make a poll... and see what others say....

a good idea?

She certainly looks nice and is getting good comments/screenshots. And if improvements are warranted and within the skill set of the customer base they will come. Based on previous threads it was a very anticipated model so I think you did the right thing is releasing it. You can't improve or update something that doesn't exist.

Brilliantly put Ken.

I too was more than a little surprised to see, not only the word used, but that others did not seem to object at the term. I certainly do.

As you state, hopefully that is the end of it.
