MiG-21 Pilot's Helmet ?

[Basco1]

I don't see any MiG-21 Pilot skins with any different colour helmets other than grey,which is the default colour.

 

 

Is it not possible to skin them ?.........I would love to see just a plain white version,no markings etc......just plain white,this is what the majority of MiG-21Bis pilots wear......not grey.

 

 

I have notice though,when you eject,your 'grey' helmet,suddenly becomes white !......it does look a bit daft in practice.

 

The current default helmet is grey with '21' painted on the front ????.....not very realistic,and surely they could've done a better job than this?,it's these smaller details that make our flying complete.

 

Just an observation just Google 'MiG 21Bis Pilot',and see where I'm coming from.

 

The MiG-21 Pilot as he appears from start up.......at this point he wears a Grey Helmet

 

 

Once Ejected the pilot takes on a whole new look !...He's had time whilst ejecting to even change his flight suit,amazing !....and wait,he's also changed his helmet too,and wow,that's the helmet I'm after,Lol !

nice post, i agree with you 100%! hoping for a new pilot model, too. more detailed, more realistic.

Thanks to Keefy Boy........we are now getting a decent looking MiG-21 Pilot......with the standard era white helmet.

 

 

This is exactly how I wanted my MiG-21 to look like......PERFECTION !.....Thanks Keith

It doesn't seem to work with the latest issue of the MiG-21 unfortunately. And it makes integrity check fail.

Hi Guys

I have found out how to script the LUA so as to customise the Mig-21 Helmet

for individual Pilots (shown Above) or any other part of the pilot outfit.

From the Mig 21bis Textures > MiG-21Bis_Pilot  folder copy the  MiG21Bis_Pilot.dds and place into your new skin folder and start customising then  add this text {"MIG21BIS_PILOT", 0, "MiG21Bis_Pilot", false}; to the description.lua   then Save/Export using theses compression  settings BC3/DTX5 with Mipmaps 

Thats it hope this helps.

Regards

Keith
