Airhunter Posted January 14, 2019 Posted January 14, 2019 Just wondering when the new external normal maps and the in-cockpit pilot model will arrive that were both previewed here and on a facebook more than a year ago? I'm refering to these higher resolution textures and maps that can be seen here: https://www.facebook.com/heatblur/photos/a.683612385159716/718558304998457/?type=3&theater and here https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=218990 Plus the pilot model: https://www.facebook.com/heatblur/photos/pcb.784347008419586/784346828419604/?type=3&theater Not trying to dig something up here just wondering where all of this sits in the grand scheme of things? :)
rainyday Posted January 14, 2019 Posted January 14, 2019 Heatblur mentioned that plans to finalize the Viggen will be revealed early this year. So hopefully really soonwe are wiser on this matter :) Lähetetty minun EVA-L09 laitteesta Tapatalkilla A-10C Warthog | AJS-37 Viggen | F-5E Tiger II | Mig-15bis | MiG-19P Farmer
Airhunter Posted January 14, 2019 Author Posted January 14, 2019 I do hope so. I think polishing up the Viggen before going into the full dev. process and polish of the F-14 is a must.
hideki2 Posted January 16, 2019 Posted January 16, 2019 I am really missing the pilot. It's a huge deal in VR.

Paveway333 Posted January 17, 2019 Posted January 17, 2019 Talking about textures, just wondering what happened to the awesome bare metal shaders? Used to look great, just like your viggen FB pics over nttr. Since some time back it looks more like a painted grey color. Also when viggen was first released the anti-collision lights used to scatter on the ground etc. Is this not possible with the current engine? On another note, recently discovered that when flying fast, it is really easy to g-lock when rolling to the right, but not left (clean aircraft).
Airhunter Posted January 17, 2019 Author Posted January 17, 2019 (edited) Normalmaps shipped a long time ago. Weird. Because my bare metal paint doesn't look anything like in the screenshots on facebook above. Edited January 17, 2019 by Airhunter
TOViper Posted January 18, 2019 Posted January 18, 2019 Weird. Because my bare metal paint doesn't look anything like in the screenshots on facebook above. Sorry, but which DCS version have you used creating these pictures. I'm asking because I can remember these lookings also on my machine ... I am currently still on 2.5.3. Visit https://www.viggen.training ...Viggen... what more can you ask for? my computer: AMD Ryzen 5600G 4.4 GHz | NVIDIA RTX 3080 10GB | 32 GB 3.2 GHz DDR4 DUAL | SSD 980 256 GB SYS + SSD 2TB DCS | TM Warthog Stick + Throttle + TRP | Rift CV1
Airhunter Posted January 18, 2019 Author Posted January 18, 2019 I'm on the latest open beta. Always keeping up to date.
Cobra847 Posted January 18, 2019 Posted January 18, 2019 The normalmaps are different from the PBR overhaul (that will make the metal more.. metally :) ) The normalmaps dictate how the surface appears under lighting (bumps, crevices, etc. - "3D" effect, if you will). Those are implemented for sure :) PBR overhaul is part of RC1! Nicholas Dackard Founder & Lead Artist Heatblur Simulations https://www.facebook.com/heatblur/
Airhunter Posted January 19, 2019 Author Posted January 19, 2019 I see, thanks for clearing that up! Can't wait to get the PBR update then :D
