SA342M Cockpit Glass Texture help

[kojdog]

SOLVED:

Per suggestions below, the edited file is attached in a .zip. The file to change is "glass_reflect.dds". Here's how to change it if interested: Open the SA342 texture pack located here: C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World 2 OpenAlpha\CoreMods\aircraft\SA342\Textures\SA342.zip. Do so in a .zip editor such as WinRar and copy/replace the edited texture into here. After clearing it up my glass is totally clean.

 

Alternatively try googling "JSGME" for installing mods, though I haven't tried this.

 

 

Original:

Hello,

I'm trying to create edited cockpit textures. Initially I want to clear up the glass textures and then later brighten/saturate the instrument panel so it is more visible. I've located the texture package in coremods and identified some of the textures I'll need to edit. However, I need assistance with what texture has what effect.

 

My primary concern is the apparent dirt on the windshield but none of the available textures seems to actually consist of dirt smudges or anything like that. There are a number of reflection textures and damage textures but only one, the normal map texture, appears to have anything erratic that might appear as dirt in-game.

 

Is the file I need to edit just the SA342_cpt_glass_norm.bmp or is there another file that controls how dirty the window looks?

 

Thanks and I love the mod. I personally would just like to tweak the glass to see a little more clearly out of the lovely bubble.

I guess the forum is not accepting .dds files. Thus, you could rename the filetype or build a zip file...

See first post, edited per below suggestion.

You should add attached file as a rar or zip. (Manage attachments) :smartass:

TYVM for this tweak. My crew chief actually has cleaned the windscreen and I can see properly. :)
