Views and Smoke

I was wondering, how did the virtual thunderbirds crew make the views in their displays. there are fixed views from under the wing and fron in the cockpit looking at the pilots head. how was that done? and also does anyone know where i can get a white smoke mod to change it to a more realistic white rather than a red and green?

Peace

White smoke is a feature of the newest version of LOMAC, 1.11. If you're seeing Red and Green smoke that means you're running 1.02. You can get the latest version of LOMAC at www.lockon.ru (unfortunately you have to pay for 1.11). Setting the static F4 views can be done in the \Config\View\server.lua in your lockon directory. In the file you'll change values under the line "function GetRearCameraPosition(iType)" change the number values you see there and you'll get different positions.

You might have a different file system with 1.02, but I don't think so, you may want to double check. Look thru the various view and server LUA files until you find that function I listed above.

I believe LUA's were introduced with 1.1, but are basically the same as the older CFG's as far as file content.
