ThunderBirds Mods by Thomaz27

Fixed Needles Not Showing 7/29/23

Equipment for use in the ThunderBirds Demo. Current Version for DCS Open Beta 2.8.6.41363

Recommended with use of OVGME.

NOTE: This mod is made to be up to date for the latest "OPEN BETA" only. It may work in previous Release or Open Beta versions but with the possibility of instability.

*In some rare cases you may have a random object in place of the stopwatch. A simple rearm will fix the issue*

Features:
- Places a fully working stopwatch and cosmetic flag in the cockpit of the F-16.
- A new trim bind that gives a numerical readout of the current down trim and doesn't run through the FCS. i.e. Traditional trim method. Often needed in formation flight but not necessary to use the mod.
- Custom smoke button that turns smoke off when in afterburner.






INSTALL

OVGME Install - Make two folders on your Desktop called "Saved Game Mods" and "Root Mods" and place the respective mod folders in each folder. You will need to make new configurations in OVGME if you haven't already for both "Saved Games" and "Root Mods". Configuration Root Folder for "Saved Games": C:\Users\*UserName*\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta. Configuration Root Folder for "Root Mods": C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta. Configuration Mods Folders Will be the folders made on the desktop "Saved Game Mods" and "Root Mods".

NON OVGME Install - Place the contents of "Thunderbirds ROOT MODS" in "C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta" and "ThunderBirds SAVED GAMES" in "C:\Users\*UserName*\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta".

Once in game you will need to rebind your Pitch Axis Value for the new trimmer to take affect. It will be under the "Axis Commands" category labeled "NEW TRIM AXIS". You will need to transfer over any curve settings to the new axis. All other binds for interacting with the "Smoke, Trim, and Timer can be found under the "MODS" category near the bottom of the drop down. The Equipment can be applied on the far left station in rearming menu.
