Guys , Im tired of - for my taste - a bit too yellowish f16 canopy .. is tjerea way to remove it without having to use the mod ?

Are there any vanilla dcs files with non yellowish texture which I could point my lua file to ?

Maybe ED could solve this issue simply by providing an option for gold and non gold canopy BUT with choosing the non gold variant the radar cross section of that Viper is increased so it is easier to be locked by enemy radar? :)

The F-16C-CPT-TEXTURES.zip file, located in \Mods\aircraft\F-16C\Cockpit\Textures\ has both the old (non-gold) and gold tinted files. The old ones are named f16c_glass_canopy_X.dds and the gold ones are named f16c_glass_canopy_gold_X.dds , where X = diff, refl, refl_RoughMe.

Maybe you can find a way to point to the old ones instead of the new ones.

Thanks, ams999! That did the trick! It still looks tinted enough to think that it’s not completely clear but the colors still come through.

Issue solved by ED :thumbup:

It's a small thing, but something many of you have asked for: we have added an option in the Options / Special Tab of the F-16C to select between the gold tint and transparent canopy. Based on talks with SMEs, around 2007 the USAF/ANG started using the transparent canopies and phasing out the gold tint. Both have the same RCS reduction properties. We hope you enjoy the option to have both!

 

 

I like the info about RCS.
