F l a n k e r Posted January 1, 2016 Author Posted January 1, 2016 Thanks to all, very appreciated! @Oldguy: as you probably already have checked out from the picture, the new cockpit is still a bit more "bluish" than the colour you have linked. I hope that is close enough for you. @theGozr: you want the English version, eh? Since you care about, I'll see what I can do... 1
theGozr Posted January 1, 2016 Posted January 1, 2016 (edited) yes Super Thank you!!!! I will use it from now on and have a good feel :) Edited January 1, 2016 by theGozr Fly it like you stole it..
theGozr Posted January 1, 2016 Posted January 1, 2016 When the original used cockpit there is too much whites borders and it is very distracting .. this version make me more concentrate on the gauges.. some used darken paint for gloves frction can be added a tight around the buttons and it will be perfect :) Fly it like you stole it..
theGozr Posted January 1, 2016 Posted January 1, 2016 Here some in Sim shots Fly it like you stole it..

I hope that is close enough for you. The odd part is that the Model Master paint looks, in real life, just like your cockpit colors when they display as a 3D texture. You got it exactly right. So, I am totally happy with your choices; I thank you most sincerely for your effort. It's nice to have choices. Edited January 2, 2016 by Oldguy
F l a n k e r Posted January 2, 2016 Author Posted January 2, 2016 English! Perfect! I am also quite happy with the color! And meanwhile, I've finished the English cockpit too! You can find it in the same mod. I've replaced the "english" cockpit livery (I've added only a file more). If I manage to get the custom livery working for the MiG-21 I will update the file. For now, I hope to enjoy my last holiday day! ;)
theGozr Posted January 2, 2016 Posted January 2, 2016 (edited) Flanker Thanks!!!!! I will load it a bit later when I'll be back home :) Edited January 2, 2016 by theGozr Fly it like you stole it..
theGozr Posted January 2, 2016 Posted January 2, 2016 ok here: 2. Enabling custom cockpit livery To enable custom cockpit livery, you can either make one by copying and editing one of original Leatherneck's liveries (e.g. MiG-21BIS\Liveries\Mig-21_CP\english) or you can download already created livery from known and trusted DCS community sources (like Chinese or Finnish cockpit livery). Your livery files along with description.lua should be placed in this folder. Humm! and no option English and not working ? Am i missing something ? Thx Fly it like you stole it..
Tarres Posted January 2, 2016 Posted January 2, 2016 The 21 uses his own system for custom cockpits. I think that with the LN system you can only have 2 "cockpits" one "original" and one "custom". Maybe in the medium term they decide to use the standard system that we´ve got in the other modules.
theGozr Posted January 2, 2016 Posted January 2, 2016 Ok I got it to work but this need to change from the LN devs So I basically copy all the inside of the "English" folder and drop into "Custom" folder and it's working but this give me just one choice of English language .. and what if I want to got quick in French or Chinese for example... ? not possible Fly it like you stole it..
theGozr Posted January 2, 2016 Posted January 2, 2016 and great work on the English :) Thank you Fly it like you stole it..
Tarres Posted January 2, 2016 Posted January 2, 2016 Only one "custom" unfortunately. And yes, great work!
F l a n k e r Posted January 2, 2016 Author Posted January 2, 2016 The 21 uses his own system for custom cockpits. I think that with the LN system you can only have 2 "cockpits" one "original" and one "custom". Maybe in the medium term they decide to use the standard system that we´ve got in the other modules. Exactly! To be precise it seems to me that, at the time, the MiG-21bis actually use the DCS cockpit textures, but limited to only one custom texture. Hope they will improve that aspect in future updates. That said, I need all the texture names to make a "real" custom texture, because I edited more texture sheets than those given in their description.lua files. That's not a problem because I entirely substitute the original texture for now. Ok I got it to work but this need to change from the LN devs So I basically copy all the inside of the "English" folder and drop into "Custom" folder and it's working but this give me just one choice of English language .. and what if I want to got quick in French or Chinese for example... ? not possible To use the English cockpit you must have chosen in the general settings -> gameplay -> avionics language -> english, so yes, you can use only one texture at a time. I've used the \english\ folder though: copy all the files in the \english\ folder in the ZIP in the \english\ forlder in your DCS World\Mods\aircraft\MiG-21bis\Liveries\ directory.
theGozr Posted January 2, 2016 Posted January 2, 2016 (edited) Flanker yes ! but even with the English selected the english folder do not work .. it need to be for me in the custom folder :( Edited January 2, 2016 by theGozr Fly it like you stole it..
F l a n k e r Posted January 2, 2016 Author Posted January 2, 2016 Mhmm... strange. It seems like you have selected "settings"->"special"->"MiG-21bis"->"custom cockpit livery". Anyway, if it works that's fine! ;)
Custard Posted January 3, 2016 Posted January 3, 2016 Could anyone post a picture of what the warning lights look like at night please? They look pretty hard to read. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
F l a n k e r Posted January 3, 2016 Author Posted January 3, 2016 (edited) I've found were to read the materals to apply the texture to! For whom may concern they are in "<DCS World>\Mods\aircraft\MiG-21bis\Shapes\Mig-21_CP.edm"! So I've managed to create a complete custom livery (only some details to add) and then I can create two separate custom cockpit, one in Russian language and one for the English. @Custard: here two screenshot of the annunciators, at night and at day, in sunlight and shadow (the latter is an old screenshot, the lights are slightly better centered and the corner more rounded now). Edited January 4, 2016 by F l a n k e r
F l a n k e r Posted January 4, 2016 Author Posted January 4, 2016 edm 3D? Yes... the materials names are in plain text, so I can read them with a good text editor, such Notepad++.
theGozr Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 I have been doing an experiment almost done ;) Fly it like you stole it..
F l a n k e r Posted January 4, 2016 Author Posted January 4, 2016 Tough to read ;) Not that much, materials and textures are in plain text! BUT! I've spent about 10 hours to figure out that the specular map for the texture 003 is associated to the material named "MiG-21_CP_003_2" ... aaaahrrg! I've noticed that the button under the HSI has some scratches on it... So, at last, I've finally finished to assign every materials now!
Yott Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 I have a problem. Game crashes every time i tried to start mission with mig with your textures. After backuping to old texture, game starts OK.
