rogonaut Posted December 18, 2018 Posted December 18, 2018 new ones look less cartoonish, looking good!
Lixma 06 Posted December 19, 2018 Posted December 19, 2018 That texture on the left canopy frame must be a mistake. Surely?
birdstrike Posted December 19, 2018 Posted December 19, 2018 That texture on the left canopy frame must be a mistake. Surely? you mean that pixelated area on the upper side where the fuselage connects with the canopy? i was thinking the same.
Vino Posted December 20, 2018 Posted December 20, 2018 Was that new cockpit supposed to be in the new patch? I did not see any change in my plane... :(
birdstrike Posted December 20, 2018 Posted December 20, 2018 they said today...the changelog is already released here in this forum...so normally its only a matter of seconds, minutes or hours until you can download it...but it should be today.
birdstrike Posted December 20, 2018 Posted December 20, 2018 ok...after i tried out the new cockpit....im definitely of the opinion that the old one looked much better tbh. for me this patch is no improvement.
golani79 Posted December 20, 2018 Posted December 20, 2018 I think it depends on the lighting situation - overall I kinda like it. What I don´t like are the specular highlights / reflections of the horizon on the glass surfaces of the cockpit itself. The Dora has the best looking cockpit for me after the updates. >> DCS liveries by golani79 <<
Esac_mirmidon Posted December 20, 2018 Posted December 20, 2018 I love the new cockpits a lot. Global illumination on and some light conditions and they are just amazing.

iRocco Posted December 20, 2018 Posted December 20, 2018 Tbh I don't see much of a difference, the cockpit mod looks way better.
Ala13_ManOWar Posted December 20, 2018 Posted December 20, 2018 Cockpit looks amazing now, higher resolution textures and PBR. Also externally the 3D model seems to use PBR now? Looks really good. S!

some1 Posted December 21, 2018 Author Posted December 21, 2018 (edited) Cockpit looks amazing now, higher resolution textures and PBR. Textures are exactly the same resolution as they were before. These are mostly the old textures, but with shadows removed and some extra dirt added (for better or worse). Because of that they have more contrast and with added PBR they appear "sharper". For me the new textures look better in some places, worse in other, so the overall result is about equal. That's fine, it's a free update to some old modules so did not expect miracles. At least the German planes that is, the new P-51 is a rustbucket, looks like it sat in the sun for 50 years. :disgust: Edited December 21, 2018 by some1 Hardware: VPForce Rhino, FSSB R3 Ultra, Virpil WarBRD, Hotas Warthog, Winwing F15EX, Slaw Rudder, GVL224 Trio Throttle, Thrustmaster MFDs, Saitek Trim wheel, Trackir 5, Quest Pro

Wrench Posted December 22, 2018 Posted December 22, 2018 I don't really care about the nex textures per se, but the fact that it's PBE allows me to make the cockpit mod I've always wanted: Note: The dashboard is totally separate from the gauges, so no more horrible pixel-by-pixel masking. Carrier Script.

dailey123 Posted December 28, 2018 Posted December 28, 2018 I also prefer the new one i did not notice any difference only when i saw side by side comparision.
Lixma 06 Posted January 2, 2019 Posted January 2, 2019 (edited) I love the cockpit but there's just one problem and that's the left hand canopy frame. It looks terrible but I think it's just an unfortunate consequence of the new PBR technique rather than a mistake. This is what it looks like for most of the time we see it.... It looks terribly pixelated. But if you see the same area in shadow.... ...it doesn't look too bad. Don't know if it can be 'fixed' or not. This was previous version.... Much better looking but old technology. Everything is still in Beta though so.... Edited January 2, 2019 by Lixma 06
rel4y Posted January 8, 2019 Posted January 8, 2019 Why doesnt the convex Revi lens have the same reflections as the P-51 and Spit gunsight? Or do you guys have these reflections?
