Ok, awaiting approval, this file will contain both black cockpit textures as well as RCAF grey ones.

 

The README will explain how to install them so you can have all the details for either a black or grey Canadair Sabre cockpit. The F-86F module maps certain cockpit details from the default textures, so we are limited to how much we can change by selecting a livery.

 

If you want all the details you have to replace the DEFAULT textures for the cockpit with these new ones. I have written instructions in the README file which will allow the user to switch from Black to RCAF Grey to Default simply by copying and pasting the files into the default F-86F cockpit texture folder.

 

I apologize for not being a programmer, so I can't write an installer :(. Also, I spend more time texturing than flying so I haven't tested these with ModMan or JSGME.

Looking good. Is there anyway to keep the default canopy with the angle of dive lines.?

 

Also does the ADF still work after activating this mod with JSGME?

 

Is night time issue now resolved?

 

Again thanks for all you hard work.

this looks really good! but im wondering which is closer to the original? i've seen all black F-86 cockpits but is the F-86F Bl-30's default "sterile white" cockpit surface more accurate historically?

Has anyone using this mod got the adf to work correctly. Mine will not switch to loop and the magnetic compass needle never moves.

Cockpit instrumentation shouldn't be affected. Try reverting back to the original textures.

Happy Flying! :pilotfly:

Just did a test flight and everything works, ADF/Radio Compass, Mag. Compass, Gyro Compass all normal, not sure what to tell you 4535jacks... did you use a mod installer to add the textures?

 

These are just texture files, they shouldn't change anything with the flight instruments, they're only skins.

 

BTW, are you still having an issue with the side panel night lighting?

 

Should look like this:

Jocks, yes I am using JSGME. The cockpit lighting is now great, my only remark would be that the canopy in a bit too reflective and so we the red cockpit lighting is on, it turns the entire canopy red and makes it difficult to see out.

Well, I never edited the original reflection texture, it's stock. I included both edited and original textures in the folders so it would be easier to switch back and forth from one cockpit style to the other by copy/pasting the entire contents vs. only certain texture files. I only changed textures 1 through 5, and 8 (removed dive angle lines on canopy - Canadair Sabres didn't have any, strictly day interceptor role).

 

IMO the red night lighting needs to be toned down, those flood lamps have a brightness rheostat in RL, in the game it seems to be on or off, full bright or nothing.

Does this still work?

 

I have put the Black version in the folder that I emptied here, but it doesn't show up in game.

\Mods\aircraft\F-86\Cockpit\Resources\Model\Textures\F-86F-35-CPT-TEXTURES

 

So, I tried just replacing the F-86F-35-CPT-TEXTURES.zip with my .zip of the Black files and still doesn't work.

 

Don't these skins need a description.lua file?

I’ll look into it, haven’t messed with the F-86 in a while. I do know I couldn’t get the replacement textures to work using the custom cockpit selection in the options last time I tried.
