[Mod] Migo's Shkval Mod


Migo

Recommended Posts

Hello Pilots,

 

I know there are already some Shkval mods available. Mine is a little bit different.

It's based on a video from Youtube called "Vikhr shkval footage". I used the idea of

the "Curved Shkval Mod". I also made a little comparison between different shkval mods

and the default one. I hope some other people like this mod, too. Modman compatible.

 

Like with the other shkval mods to make it look realistic you have to turn up

the shkval brightness :)

Be careful about using YouTube videos as reference material. They are usually reposts of reposts of reposts of videos found from unclassified military footage. A lot of information about the video can get lost along the way. For instance, the video you are using could either be some super high-tech version mounted on an experimental Mi-28, or it could be a standard Shkval on a Su-25, or an upgraded Shkval on a Su-25T, or it could be the very first ever Shkval system installed on a modified civilian helicopter launching the very first ever made live Vikhrs. There is no evidence provided that would lead us to believe that this footage came from a Ka-50.

 

Furthermore, we don't know how the footage was captured. Was it from a cheap, worn-out video camera that no longer can detect the full spectrum of colors being held by the pilot's hand, or was it a sort of VHS recording with the video being tapped off between the targeting computer system and the monitor?

 

In addition, you have to take into account the effect that video compression has on video quality and color. If the video has been compressed multiple times (being a repost of a repost of a repost of a video found online), then colors can appear to be drastically different. I really do like what you have done with bloom and contrast.

 

 

On the other hand, the developers behind DCS have been in the cockpit of a real Ka-50 and have first-hand experience looking at the Shkval monitor, or if they don't, their military advisors (pilots of real Ka-50s that have given feedback to the DCS team) certainly do. Given the conditions, I trust the judgment and work of them over that of a video with an unknown source.

 

 

 

 

I don't mean to downplay the mod. You have beautifully recreated the Shkval output in the game based on the video. If this is footage from a Ka-50 Shkval in the cockpit with accurate colors, you have ported that over to the game perfectly.

Be careful[...]
Yes you're right but I didn't say it's a real Ka-50 shkval, just that it's based on this video I found. As far as I know the old shkval was yellow.

If someone finds a better reference send it to me and I will give my best to get it ingame ;-)

 

looks good !!! but for full realismen we need a black color text...
There is a switch on the shkval with which you can switch between black and white, if you meant that.

I would think that based on how realistic the rest of the model is, that the dev team also modelled the shkval correctly even if it doesn't match what we find online.

 

As for what you can find online...

After three years, I think it's still best Shkval screen mod. :D
