11 2D / 3D COCKPIT

11.1 3D CLICKABLE COCKPIT

A simple but functional 3D clickable cockpit system has been implemented. The list of clickable

buttons is contained in 3dbuttons.dat. This file should be placed in your cockpit directory. In this

release, the included dat file is designed for Aeyes f-16 3d cockpit. Currently most ICP, DED and

MFD buttons have been implemented, but not all.New dat files can be written for other cockpits

and other aircraft.

Dat files for other aircraft should be placed in the appropriate aircraft's cockpit

directory.

COCKPIT AUTO SCALING

With the g_bCockpitAutoScale set to 1, if you select a resolution without a corresponding cockpit,

Falcon will attempt to scale the next best cockpit. If using 1600 resolution, if no 1600 cockpit is

found, Falcon will look for the existance of a 1280 cockpit, and will scale it up to 1600. If no 1280

cockpit is found, the 1024x768 cockpit will be scaled to 1600. If using 1280 resolution, if no 1280

cockpit is found, Falcon will look for the existence of a 1600 cockpit, and will scale it down to

1280. If no 1600 cockpit is found, the 1024x768 cockpit will be scaled to 1280.

When g_bCockpitAutoScale is enabled and 800x600 or 640x480 is selected, the 1024 cockpit

will be rescaled to that resolution. Font size may be an issue at these resolutions.When the

resolution 1280x1024 is selected, the pit will be scaled to 1280x960 and a black bar will be drawn

across the bottom 1/16 of the screen.

MOUSE SCROLL WHEEL AND MIDDLE MOUSE BUTTON

You can now use the scroll wheel and middle mouse button in Falcon. By default, the wheel will

control the FOV increase and decrease functions. By default, the middle mouse button (or scroll

wheel click) will set the FOV to default. Note, this will only work if the mouse wheel is NOT

mapped as an analogue axis!

The behavior of the scroll wheel and middle mouse buttons can be modified by adding the

following lines to your falconbms.cfg file:

set g_sScrollUpFunction "<command>"

set g_sScrollDownFunction "<command>"

set g_sMiddleButtonFunction "<command>"

Where <command> is the name of the command you wish to execute as listed in your

keystrokes file.Each increment of the scroll wheel will cause the corresponding command to be

executed once. Default Values:
