F-15C cockpit overhaul, hotfix, 23.02.2024

Hotfix for the unexpected texture update, this project is not dead, I just dont have the time. -

I originally wanted to darken the panels but I've had a GIMP crash and lost the HUD quadrant that has been done, I have it as unlayerd PNG from the DDS. Not sure if I want to redo it all over. Maybe another day. I am sorry for the lack of updates, I have been away on digital detox and still are but I can upload the latest version in the mean time. -

Most of the text for the dash has been created, the AoA gauge has also been completed. I am getting close to a 1.0 release. -

If someone happens to have good photos of the AOA indicator, please send them my way. ED's is wrong, that's for sure. Oil pressure gauges have been updated. If anyone wants to help out, the text on the dash needs to be redone, texture 1 and 2. The font is "MS 33558,". -

Not sure if I will touch the side pannels. Redoing them would be a huge undertaking with no real benefit. The backup attitude indicator has been redone and is now correct: -

Most gauges on the right are finished, the caution pannel included: I have updated the download link at the beginning of the thread. The next step will be the artificial horizon. If you have any requests of what I should do next, post them here. -

Oh my god, thank you, yes the project is still alive. However, work is progressing very slow. -
I have created my own roughmets, for AI aircraft as well. And I dont understand why the colour is that important to you, Do you paint your roughmets directly or what? Try german with us, since your english is no good, we can barely understand you.

Urbi, I have no idea what you are trying to say. Only that you don't use Gimp.

Hi Stackup, one more tip: Don't forget to generate mipmaps, it looks like you forgot to generate them. Makes it look much nicer at different distances. Removes the jittering from textures at a distance. And generally, I wouldn't recommend using Urbis method. It's inprecise. You should work in channels. Ignore the red channel for now. Green is the glossiness, it determines how shiny or matte your surface is. Stencils, Roundels, oil streaks for example. White means matte, black means gloss. The blue channel is the roughness. It determines how metallic (rough) something looks. White means less metall, black means more metall. Your best bet is to add a white and a black layer to the layer you want to edit, that's how you can tweak it the easiest to your liking. The lighter an area is, the more matte it will be. It's best to disect an existing roughmet in Gimp to see how its structured. Try this template, it's basic but it gets the job done. Because the thing Urbi gave you is no good. https://mega.nz/file/t64GnIJK#ol0y5jYlWUynAQM4A9KVi9AD770rgL2Qw0eJzYQhlUo

It's still ongoing but work is kicking my butt. -

Thanks for the input guys, thas why I created this thread. I didn't know about the different backlight colours on the F-15C/A. Unable to change the colour so green it is. Life has kept me busy so no updates as of now. But the version uploaded, is working. ED's pit has no backlights at all, thas what im basing it on. It has no floodlights either. It's like a diver watch with luminous indices. -

OK, I've been messing around a bit, ED's illumination is wrong, the instrumens should look like this: I am unsure if I can change the colour of the light itself but I have been able to replicated this kind of backlight: Your thoughts? I might be able to fake the floodlights by painting the lights onto the consoles and instrument panels itself, so it has a slight glow. -

After finding new ressources, I have realised that most gauges need a rework to be accurate. I dont know how long this project will take, that's why im posting a current version. This project will continue but it will take a good while. -

Once the gauges are done, I will upload a preliminary version in this thread. I'm about 70% done with the gauges. There are so many things I'd like to improve a the same time that it would take ages to get it done. Simulated flood lights, roughmets, colour corrections etc. So here is the plan: if the gauges are done, a WIP version will be posted in the first post. WIP picture of roughmet work and illumination improvements will be posted here. -

I have started work on useless details: I started redoing the HUD console: And the navigation should be easier now at night as well, not sure if I'll remaster the compass, I just messed with the heading marker: I tried adding more details but ED says no: BTW: Does anyone in here know if it is possible to change the colour of the light itself? ED's illumination has the wrong colour, it should be red. -

I've been working on the clock as of lately. Not sure what ED had as ressource but its not correct. Since I've already made the assets for the old clock, there will be 2 versions, a carbon copy of ED's clock and a "real" version. I should have more times on my hand now so stay tuned. New clock: -

Hi, I'm still working on it but my job has been keeping me busy. I'm currently thinking about releasing a WIP build of this in this thread. -

I couldn't resist to see what the screens would look like with roughmets. This is very much WIP, fingerprints and dirt and grime are still to be added to the screen and the roughmet. -

No, that's on ED to enable. MiG-29 can't enable the pilot either.
