[MiG-21 BiS] ASP Block Mod

[LegoHeli]

Hey Mainstay,

 

I like what you did with the texture on the gunsight. But I now I want to add my own flair to it, but I don't really know how to do that and where to place the pics. I want to swap out the girl pic with something else.

Can anyone tell me how to do this?

I am using GIMP

 

Thanks for the help!

 

Download the .rar in the second post, toggle the visibility of the wear if you like.

 

The rar has a psd with a clean gunsight. Save as a 32bit TGA/Targa and replace the file to see it ingame!

Thanks for the help LegoHeli, that got me started. But I noticed that every texture in that cockpit folder is a .tga.dds file. Any idea how I could get my texture to pop up the right way with the right settings? Can I do this with DXTBmp? or do I need a different program?

[LegoHeli]

I simply saved mine as a .tga from Photoshop and pasted it into the cockpit folder. It works without any problems. Make sure it overwrites (and take backup), dont just add it to the folder.

I tried your suggestion LegoHeli, but it did not seem to work. No matter what I do I get either of these outcomes in which the latter shows a tiny bit of result.

Is this becouse GIMP isn't the correct tool to use and I should use Photoshop or am I doing something wrong?

 

anyway thanks for your help and suggestions.

Hi Dutchy. Do you know how to work with layers in photoshop? I dont know how this works in GIMP since i use photoshop but at the moment i dont really have the time to explain how to use these programs.

 

I will give you some links to tutorials so you have a place to start.

 

GIMP : http://www.gimp.org/tutorials/

 

Photoshop : http://tv.adobe.com/show/learn-photoshop-cs6/

 

And also youtube has loads of videos where people explain different techniques.

 

Did a quick search and found a video of someone doing some texture editing in GIMP. Video is not from me and i dont know the person who made it. Also i have no clue if the video is any good but this is what i could find quickly.

 

 

 

Good luck :)

Hello Mainstay,

I know how to work with layers in GIMP.

I used to make skins for IL-2 1946 and I've attempted to do the same with DCS (that is I didn't get the shape right but the skins work), but those skins only applied to external skins.

I've never messed about with cockpit textures, different sorts of TGA-files and the likes.

And if I did, there was some sort of tutorial available to give me something to go back at.

 

So in a way: Yes I know how to work with GIMP and layers (just not expert level) but the point is I don't know where to look for the bits and pieces of info I am missing.

And in a way I am also stepping into new territory here.

Just one more :thumbup:

 

 

Anyone know If is possible to aplicate this mod with "pylon list" and "indicated speeds" in the default blue english cockpit?

[T_A]

Yes i would love that, my dream combo:

IAS and Pylon list ASP

English

Metric

Grey or Green mod

[Basco1]

Mainstay this is a superb MOD,I hate that bit of paper in front of the ASP block,I particularly like your ' Clean Black Version ' you created.

 

 

However with all the updates to DCS,I cannot get this to work anymore,and would really appreciate it if you could update this for me please,as I fly the MiG-21 a lot,and would love to use this MOD again........thank you

 

 

BTW YOUR Green cockpit looks superb as well Mainstay,this is how the MiG-21 pit should look IMHO....First Class.

 

 

A dream MiG-21 cockpit for me would be to have a Green English Cockpit,with a clean ASP Block.....PERFECT !

 

 

So your MiG-21 cockpit below Mainstay......would for be superb,if we can have one like this for DCS V 2.5,that would be really nice !

 

 

' Clean Black Version '

This is IMHO one of the best MiG-21 MODS for the cockpit.
