[BUG] Helmet knob still in the wrong place in default textures

[Mnemonic]

Hello dear Heatblur!

Happy to see that knob has moved to the correct location on a helmet, however there is a black knob-spot on the previous top location, it seems to be baked into texture (an ambient occlusion map?). On every out-of-the-box skin apart from Jolly Rogers high-viz.

 

It's visible both externally and from the mirrors in cockpit (see picture).

Please fix this.

Thank you, I did not notice that.

IronMike, It's quite visible to be honest :)

First time I looked into mirror, and like - what is this, two knobs? Then noticed that it's a texture issue... But quite disturbing :)

 

I hope it can be fixed asap, for the consistency sake...

Yeah I guess I did not pay enough attention to it, probably just glanced at it in F2. We pushed it just before the release candidate, and I test the RC one last time before we upload it, so you try and re-test from the previous testing as much as you can, with never enough time. This ofc is not our main testing, this is just a last check that nothing broke while compiling the build that we send to ED. Unfortunately the knob fell right into that hectic.

 

We'll see that we can fix it asap, my apologies for overlooking it, but we could not have fixed it in time anyway, we just would not have pushed it. I hope it is not too terrible in the meantime. :)

Also, if I may add something, could you adjust the color or the now adjusted knob to each default livery so it matches the helmet color respectively? For example yellow on the yellow Jolly Rodgers helmet.

Just to confirm, as I expected knob is baked into the texture (still on top), here is an example:

I've cooked something, IronMike if you could check your PM please :)

Thanks, I'll check. This issue has been fixed internally and will be released with our next patch.

Excellent! Thanks for the update!

in the pilot position, I look at the copilot, the knob is still in the wrong position again.

Only external views were done for the moment.

The knobs still show correct in the mirrors (reference my avatar picture). Maybe the RIO still has them wrong, if you directly look at him. Not too sure.

this is fixed in the next f14 update.
