Lock On/Flaming Cliffs F-15 Profile v1.3

[ruggbutt]

This is compatible with v1.3 TouchBuddy and TouchBuddy ToolKit. It's based on my original profile plus just about anything else that I could add. WBK, Zorlac and Oscar contributed their work in one way or another beyond the base code. I'll give ya'll a quick rundown. Hotspots on the legend with no description are self explanatory. It's available in the Download/Profile section.

Left Panel, unchanged from previous version.



Legend, showing hotspots for commands



Center Panel, looks very similar to original version. I moved everything from the MPCD left to the left to make room for the active TEWS module. Notice that I have command hotspots on top of the module. Nice touch Zorlac!



Legend



Right Panel, unchanged from previous version



Legend



VHF comms tab, Flight/Tower/AWACS commands available



UHF comms tab, individual wingmen (2 and 3) commands. There is also an HF tab with wingman 4 commands.



TEWS Tab, no commands available here but perfect for those who have a second touchscreen. I run this almost exclusively on my second screen.



Maps Tab, this is the main page. The thumbnails will take you to each page described next to them.



Touch the Caucasus thumbnail, this map pops up. To go back one level merely touch the map anywhere.



Touch the Crimean thumbnail, this map pops up. To go back one level merely touch the map anywhere.



Touch the Airbase diagrams thumbnail, this page pops up. To go back one level touch the word "Back".



Touch the name of the base to view that map. I've chosen Simferopol here. Notice that airfield altitude, tower and relays, length of airfield and other pertinent data are on the map. Touch the map anywhere to go back to the map list page.



Game Control panel. I've simplified it compared to some of the profiles available.



I hope you guys enjoy this, I've tested it and all the commands work properly. Thanks again Oscar, WBK and Zorlac for everything.

Very nice Ruggbutt

ruggbutt, had a quick look at the new layout, maps are a very handy addition.

here's the new TBpit mark II using your new F-15 1.3 profile.

Very Sweet profile Rugg. I'm trying to learn the Su-25T now, but this isn't fair! Now I want to learn the F15 too.

PS: How did you get those buttons on the TEWS? Are they just transparent buttons on a higher layer in the profile?

LOL, that's good! I need to get off my butt and do one for the '25 (both models). Since I started with TB I fell in love with both of those planes.

Yep, that's how I did it. I understand very little about coding but when someone puts together a GUI like your ToolKit I are smart enuf to figure that out.

My next mission is to put together profiles for those of you that are running large touchscreens. I can eliminate all but one comms tab on a profile because all the comms buttons will fit on one page.

Now, that *IS* an endorsment

Is there any way to up the update frequency zorlac's tews?
Currently it's like 0,5 Hz. Also is there any way to resize the tews display?
I would really like to run it on my right side extra monitor, but right now the update time is way too slow for it to be any help =(

I need at least 20-25fps on the tews, and my comp should be able to handle it easily.

Have any of you guys watched TekaTeka's videos of the Lockon Training Tracks? I downloaded them all because I wanted to watch them to learn other planes. But at the time I didn't have a second screen. Now with TouchBuddy I do have a second screen. But I couldn't get it to run in a profile 'fullscreen' and also 'not' minimize the game if I touched the screen.

Also, I can't even read that stupid text in those training track videos on my touchscreen. I really wish they would have put voiceover on them all. But I have downloaded 3-4 videos with voiceover from Ironhand's site. And I am writing a Plugin that will play them fullscreen without minimizing if I touch the controls. So at least I will have a few.

I have been thinking of just adding voiceover on TekaTeka's videos. I tried it yesterday for about 30 minutes. But the text disappears so fast that I can't read them. And that's a ton of work. So... Not sure. But wouldn't it be great to have all that training available with voiceover on your touchscreen. You could pause the video and try the stuff you just learned. Unpause it and continue, or rewind and try it again... I think it would make training so much easier.

ZORLAC,

I am using Ironhand's voice over tutorials also. His explanations are very
helpful! Reading these texts in the regular trainings missions (even as a
movie) is a pain and things happen to quick to follow.

Too bad there is no voiceover for all training missions! If you could bring up
the Lockon training missions with voiceover would be fantastic. Having them
on a touchscreen running as a movie in TB in parallel to Lockon would be very helpful!
