Feature suggestion: Toggle for radar pod to also toggle the radar screen
-
Got this one done today too, everyone.
Much like the hot-swappable tip-tanks, this was a real mess to unravel. That's nobody's fault, to be clear. It can just be difficult to create unintended features that I never anticipated when designing the aircraft.
Textures affected: 20
Model files re-exported: 36
Animations changed: 72
Ambient Occlusion re-baked: 1
XML files edited: 4
Blender crashes: 10 (yes, I incremented it every time)
MSFS 2020 crashes: 1
MSFS 2024 crashes: 5
Effort for just MSFS 2024's LOD system: ~80%Total time to remove a radar head unit: 8 hours.
I'm always happy to make changes when they makes my aircraft more enjoyable for everyone. You guys brought me two real challenges this week, though! I can't wait to see you enjoying them both in your screenshots

I’m confused. Can we now remove the wx radar screen in the cockpit if we remove the pod? Do I need to edit a file or something if so how ?

@fakeflyer737 Yes, that's what I just implemented, but you will have to wait for the v1.1 update (probably next week). If it was as simple as editing a file, it wouldn't have taken me the entire day to implement

So when you say double the radio configs, can we now have dual gtn 750's ? Asking for a friend lol
@Kestrel21 I don’t think so, I believe he meant every radio configuration now has a partner version where there is no radar screen.

@Iconography That's correct. Just backend changed to make removing the radar screen possible. We're planning on releasing this update next week, btw.

Just wanted to say thank you for this one Nick!! I remembered reading this (before you had solved it) and had already noted it on the Bonanza. I had the radar pod turned off on the NA and Turbo charged Bonanza's (and on for the turboprop and Baron). I hadn't flown the NA Bonanza since the update and was pleasantly surprised to see the radar gone from the panel

@MiRexer Glad to hear you're enjoying it
