Raw Normal View History

To enable full functionality of the K14 gun sight there are several things
that need to be done.
First change the <nasal> section of your *set.xml file so that it looks like the
following.
<nasal>
<!-- your other nasal files -->
<!-- the following three lines must be exactly like this -->
<K14>
<file>Aircraft/Instruments-3d/computing-gun-sights/Nasal/lead-computer.nas</file>
</K14>
</nasal>
Animation:
For dark conditions when cabin/cockpit illumination is used all of the K14 sight
is illuminated in response to
<property>/controls/lighting/cabin-norm</property>
If you are using a different property for your cabin/cockpit lights you will need to map your
lighting property to /controls/lighting/cabin-norm.
Aircraft Specific Properties:
See README.lead-computer
Below is an example from the P-51D using the K14A sight which needs some additional
settings to control power and lighting for the sight.
