Good to hear you like it but Sry to hear about the FPS issue :huh:, may I ask what version/color of the cockpit are you using and with which map/DCS version?

I just tried this mod with OB 1.5.4 and it does not work. It locks up dcs whenever I select a Mi 8 mission and the helo is not available as player in ME. Also crashes the ME. Remove mod and all is well.

 

Anybody else see this? Would love to get this working again.

 

Thanks

I have been playing with the 1.5.3 Steam and tested all of the version with any discernable FPS hits. There might a small hit but I can't really tell the difference. Are many of you experiencing a drastic FPS drop issue?

Bummer. I'll see what I can do once I get my hands on the 1.5.4 version. Could it be the new IC?:helpsmilie:

Problem solved,

I replaced the mod with a new copy and all is well. It must have gotten corrupted somehow.

Thanks for the offer of help. 1.5.4 has a few small problems, Yet once fixed has some great upgrades and fixes.

Hmmm. I can't replicate the problem. I am using Steam 1.5.3 version with Caucasus map (obviously:)). This was a quick test with the instant action mission "Target Practice". I have also checked that the DDS file structures haven't changed and so I don't think that the texturemapping has changed.

In what version does this problem appear and is it persistent in all mission and settings you have tried? Have I misunderstood the problem/issue?

 

I'l try to do some a bit more testing to see what I can find.

It appeared after installing the second-to-latest Openbeta patch and is present in all missions regardless of how the chopper is set up when the mission starts (cold start, hot start, airborne, on ramp etc.).

OK, I think I found something. Take a look at the numerals and how they differ in v1.5.4.54136:

 

PS / EDIT: Yah, that was it! Change the order of the numerals in the Cockpit_Mi-8mtv3_dev3.dds file to how they are in the default and the problem is fixed.

 

PS2 / EDIT: There could be others too. I think some annunciator texts have changed back to Russian as well.

Thankthankyou. :bows I was getting somewhat desperate and grayhaired unable to solve this. So they have changed the mapping. I'll get to fixing these ASAP. Might take a short while - I'll have to redo the corresponding files and I am heavily loaded with work for this week

You're welcome Skullleader my friend.

 

Files updated/patched, an R863 number alpha channel mismatch corrected (a remnant of solving the previous issue with those same numerals :music_whistling:) .

 

Please let me know of any issues

 

P.S. Patched file attached (overwrite existing). So you don't have to DL all of them again

Who knows. I have a few projects underway including updating and tuning this one so maybe one day I will find time to start with the Huey cockpit textures. ;)

Okay, I have spent the couple last evenings trying to understand the russian cyrillic alphabet, trying to find a suitable font and trying to build a proper workflow for doing a RUS version of this but to no avail.

 

I tried hand drawing the RUS texts to google translate and then copypasting the digital version to Photoshop in cyrillic font to some success but the workflow was unbearably slow. I mean slow as in "well-see-a-F16-and-AH64-in-DCS-before-this-is-finished"-slow.

 

I have to admit to myself and to you guys that I can not do the RUS version of this alone so I am asking for help:

 

If you are literate in both english and russian and are willing to help me (or know someone who could) send me a PM. Photoshop, willingness to spend some time on this and (some) skills are required.

 

P.S. If someone could help me translate this to russian and point me where to post it in the RUS side I'd be happy also
