1. Overview

The F-16 Fighting Falcon, also known as Viper, is one of the greatest fighter aircraft in the world.
Even YF-16 prototype first flew in 1974, huge number of Vipers are still in use for many coutries.

Like a proportion of such long production history, there are many differences in specification of each F-16 blocks.
I chose F-16CM Block 40 and 50 from variants as a target for replication, and created this cockpit mod.

2. System Requirements

This mod wroks fine with Falcon BMS 4.33 Update 5 only.
It doesn't have compatibility with Falcon BMS 4.32 or 4.34.
The minimum system requirements conform to the criterion of Falcon BMS 4.33.

4. What is "CCIP"?

CCIP (Common Configuration Implementation Program) is software/hardware update program for F-16C/D Block 40/42/50/52.

Main contractor of the program is Lockheed Martin, and it was planned to fill differences of capability between F-16CG/DG Block 40/42 and F-16CJ/DJ Block 50/52.
The program incorporated new Operational Flight Program (OFP) and avionics from MLU (Mid-Life Update) program for EPAF (European Participating Air Forces) F-16A/B, and it was finished successfully early in 2010s.
Once modifications are completed, variants are called F-16CM/DM Block 40/42/50/52, instead of CG/DG/CJ/DJ.

Major features of the program includes:
  • - Replacement of old Fire Control Computer with new MMC (Modular Mission Computer)
  • - Replacement of MFD (Multi-Function Display) with CMFD (Color Multi-Function Display)
  • - Incorporation of JHMCS (Joint Helmet Mounted Cueing System)
  • - Incorporation of MIDS (Multifunctional Information Distribution System)
  • - Replacement of old analog HSI (Horizontal Situation Indicator) with digital EHSI (Electronic Horizontal Situation Indicator)
  • - Incorporation of targeting pod operational capability for Block 50/52
  • - Incorporation of AIFF (Advanced Identification Friend/Foe) for Block 50/52

6. Installation Instructions

Items that you need for installation includes:
  • - The package of downloaded CCIP Cockpit Mod
  • - LOD Editor (version 6.23)
  • - A certain amount of time for it
LOD Editor is a software to modify the 3D model database in Falcon 4.0.
You MUST have this software for installing this mod, but I can't distribute it because of no right for it.
Search words of "LOD Editor 6.23" on Google, you'll find websites for download.

The following is actual installation instructions.

Step 1. Backup the stock Data folder

Backup the following Data folder.

Falcon BMS 4.33\Data

Step 2. Overwrite the stock Data folder

Overwrite the following Data folder with CCIP Cockpit Mod's Data folder.

Falcon BMS 4.33\Data

Step 3. Launch LOD Editor

Launch LOD Editor by double clicking "LODEditor.exe".
Once launch process has started, .HDR file selection window will be popped up.
Then, select the following KoreaObj.HDR file and open it.

Falcon BMS 4.33\Data\Terrdata\objects\KoreaObj.HDR

Step 4. Append a new Parent Record

The launch process has completed.
In the next precedure, you append a new Parent Record to the database.
Click Action, then click Append Parent Record in the drop-down list.

01

A new Parent Record has been appended successfully、and you see the ID Number (ID#) of the new Parent Record.
Note this ID number, you will need it for another procedure.

In the following screenshot, the new ID number is 3165, but you may see different number on your window.
Don't worry, it means that it varies depending on the state of your own BMS database.

Once you've finished making a note, click OK for continue.

02

Step 5. Append a new LOD file

In the next precedure, you append a new LOD file to the database.
Click Action, then click Append Model in the drop-down list.

03

LOD file selection window will be popped up.
Then, select "1.lod" in CCIP Cockpit Mod's folder, and open it.
(Note: In following screenshots, there are japanese words in some places. Please don't care about that!)

04

Confirmation window will be popped up, then click Yes.

05

Now, 1.lod has been appended successfully, and you see the LOD Number (LOD#) of appended 1.lod.
Note this LOD number, you will need it for another procedure.

In the following screenshot, the new LOD number is 8026, but you may see different number on your window.
Don't worry, it means that it varies depending on the state of your own BMS database.

Once you've finished making a note, click OK for continue.

06

Step 6. Edit the appended new Parent Record

In the next precedure, you edit the appended new Parent Record in Step 4.

Now, it's time to remember the ID number of Parent Record which you've appended in Step 4.
Enter the ID number to the next field of Normal button, then click Normal button.

07

The Parent Record has been displayed.
But as you can see, most of values are 0.
So you need to change these values while seeing example for entry.

08

For seeing entry example, launch another LOD Editor.
There is no problem for launching second .exe of LOD Editor, so don't worry.

Once the second LOD Editor has been launched, enter 1 to the next field of Normal button, then click Normal button.

09

The Parent Record of ID number 1 has been displayed.

10

Replace each values in appended new Parent Record with values in ID number 1 Parent Record.

11

Once replacing is completed, click Update button of appended new Parent Record (not No.1 of Parent Record) for saving it.

12

The first slot of LOD Indexes has been opened.

Enter the appended LOD number to LOD # field. (In the following image, I entered 8026)
Next, enter 600000 to Distance field.
Then, click Update button for saving the Parent Record.

13

Step 7. Edit the 3dckpit.dat

Open the following 3dckpit.dat file with notepad or text editor as you like.

Falcon BMS 4.33\Data\Art\ckptart\3dckpit.dat

Once the file is opened, search the line of cockpitmodel 1;.

14

Change the value of cockpitmodel to the ID number of the appended Parent Record.
In the following image, I entered 3165.

Once changing value is completed, overwrite the file.

15

Step 8. Repeat processes of Step 4 through 7

Repeat processes that were described between Step 4 and 7 by using rest of LOD files in CCIP Cockpit Mod's folder.
Note:
  • - Each name of LOD files correspond to the ID number of Parent Record for entry example.
    For example, if you add 2.lod in Step 5, refer to ID number: 2 Parent Record for completing appended Parent Record.

  • - Each name of LOD files correspond to the ID number of Parent Record in the cockpit model area of 3dckpit.dat.
    For example, if you add 2.lod in Step 5, the value you have to change is 2 of cockpitmodel2.

When you finished edting the value of cockpitcanopymodel, that's the end of repeating.

7. How to use EHSI

EHSI is degitalized HSI. It consists liquid crystal display, navigation mode button and HDG/CRS select knobs.
The old navigation mode select switch has been removed, and the function has been alternated to the push button under the display.
It works same as default EHSI in F-16AM.
