Forward 'empty' view

[AiRdAncE]

Falcon 4 AF:

This might seem a really stupid question, and it prolly is, but I've been unable to figure this out.

I'm trying to find out how I can have the number 5 view (forward, no cockpit) without the two MFD's overlayed bottom left and right and without the HUD overlayed. All I want is the normal (no computerized views overlayed) birdseye view forward to use with a beamer or projector.

Question 2: Does anyone have a modified cockpit file that has the HUD on a separate monitor in res. 1280x2048 for example ?
Thanks for the info !

the second - question i know is not possible in AF

about the first - 99% sure not possible in AF .

you'll have to use an "older" version of falcon for that.

Ido

Apparently F4:AF was a setback for pit builders  

Correct me if I'm wrong guys, but there are more output functions with the previous version of F4.

Not positive, but I think we're back to having all the callbacks reinstated now.  Regarding sharedmem, that is close to what it had become with the last BMS mod.  I think the largest deficit now for pit builders and Allied Force probably is in things like the external views.

Don't want to hijack this thread, but what else is still lacking over FF/SP/BMS?  I know I miss setting the idle cutoff under throttle setup.

Well, this is all positive actually..  Now you can finally agree like many of us, that F4AF is a complete waste of time!!  Thanks LP, you really know how to listen to the community (as you claimed you did) when it came to creating, or editing F4AF.

On the plus side, now you can go back to a way better version of Falcon where all this can be done so easily!

Ouch Jody ! Guess this is something you've been pi$$ed about for some time now

Errr... this might seem a really stupid question (I feel I have a lot of those lately), but where can I get the 'better' version of Falcon ? I don't see it for sale in the stores here (NL)...

it's actually the original falcon with free patches
you can get it on ebay

There are many great versions out there.  I won't discuss which I prefer as it is a matter of opinion and what is available to you.  However, I have been a part of all of them and have tested them extensively.

I will recommend for stability and ease to go with and FF3/Cobra instal.  Very stable, simple to install, and has all the great aditions that BMS gave us a couple years ago.  I don't have any instal guide, however if you look at freefalcon.com there is some pretty good ones there.

Hope that helps

let me elaborate a bit more :

there are generally 3 upgrade path's for Falcon 4:

1. freefalcon + cobra (freefalcon has the latest BMS patch built in).
http://www.freefalcon.com/
2. SuperPack + BMS
3. Open Falcon - the latest and best (i think) - which is not officially out there but lately for some reason is very available.

Ha ha ha, I'm such an idiot.. I just realized Flareless posted an install guide for FF3 and Cobra1 in this same forum..  Go a head and use this guide as this was our install guide about a year or two ago and it was very stable.
