tintifaxl Posted February 19, 2019 Posted February 19, 2019 After 8 years of free updates, I wouldn't mind to pay for an overhaul. Windows 10 64bit, Intel i9-9900@5Ghz, 32 Gig RAM, MSI RTX 3080 TI, 2 TB SSD, 43" 2160p@1440p monitor.
TheSniperFan Posted February 22, 2019 Posted February 22, 2019 It would certainly suck for people like myself, who got DCS with the A-10C only just now, but it wouldn't be too bad. That being said, I'm working on something you guys will probably like. I've got the original models and textures from DCS imported into Substance Designer and am giving them the PBR treatment. Here is a small before/after: No, it's not done yet and I don't know when it'll be ready. It's very much something I just mess with every now & then when I have some time to kill. And yes, I'm looking into reworking the cockpit, too. (And I think I'll make the cockpit a higher priority, because that's what you spend most of your time looking at.) If you're interested, I'm not creating new textures from scratch, but using SD to generate PBR maps with the information from the old texture maps. It gives you a great deal of control and is certainly more intuitive than using Photoshop or similar software for that purpose. However, you don't higher resolution or new details that weren't there before. All you get is a nicer and less uniform lighting response of the surfaces. Could make a tutorial, if there's interest and there are SD users here.

jcbak Posted February 22, 2019 Posted February 22, 2019 Considering the progress that has been made visually, the KA50 and A-10C still hold up very well. An update would be awesome and much appreciated.

Euhm...... SniperFan, What are you doing exactly with Substance Designer and the A-10C? I know something about SD, but I don't understand what and why you wanna rework the A-10C. Soon, we have the A10C re-done by ED. AND THAT'S SUPER COOL. Especially a complete re-build of the cockpit geometry and textures. Once again, what's the point of what you're doing?

TheSniperFan Posted February 22, 2019 Posted February 22, 2019 The point of what was doing is that this post was posted just after I posted my post here. I heard that the A-10 would get a makeover, but I didn't know it was that high up their priorities list, so I figured I may as well use SD to do it myself. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ That being said: Awesome! Can't wait!

tintifaxl Posted February 22, 2019 Posted February 22, 2019 ED is working on a lot of things that take a very long time to arrive. I think the A-10 and KA-50 overhauls will take their time, too. Windows 10 64bit, Intel i9-9900@5Ghz, 32 Gig RAM, MSI RTX 3080 TI, 2 TB SSD, 43" 2160p@1440p monitor.
marcwoolery Posted February 28, 2019 Posted February 28, 2019 A10-C cockpit and HUD seem less than perfect... agree with (ECHO) echo179 Also I didnt see any improvement on the A10 Hud by changing the .LUA Hud Text Size (cant recall the details). Is there a similar thing for 2.5 ?
