Hardcard Posted March 11, 2020 Posted March 11, 2020 (edited) IMPORTANT NOTE: DCS Open Beta 2.5.6.47224 has rendered this mod obsolete, since ED has finally fixed the reflection problem for these aircraft. The mod no longer works and it's no longer needed, so if you're using DCS 2.5.6.47224 or above, this mod isn't for you! I got tired of the sight / HUD reflections of the Su-25A and MiG-29A/G/C, so I decided to do something about it. Since I couldn't find existing mods for these aircraft types, I created my own. These mods allow the user to remove sight / HUD reflections on the Su-25A and MiG-29A/G/C, making them completely transparent. I'm now sharing them with the community, I hope some of you will find them useful! ;) Su-25A: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3308353/ EDIT: Added Lite version with increased reflection transparency MiG-29A/G/C: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3308354/ EDIT: Added Lite version with increased reflection transparency *Credit to Grajo for the Su-25T clear HUD texture, which I adapted to the MiG29 Edited April 17, 2020 by Hardcard [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Stratos Posted March 11, 2020 Posted March 11, 2020 Great work!! I don't understand anything in russian except Davai Davai!
Fri13 Posted March 11, 2020 Posted March 11, 2020 Thanks for the effort. I prefer the original as it brings the immersion that you can't see all so well, and need to work around the problem. But I so dislike about the current cockpit lighting limitation for the static reflections! Those should really be dynamic, so when you move in VR, your reflections moves. And when you change lighting angle, the reflections changes as well. It is so annoying that those reflections are just textures on the glass surfaces. i7-8700k, 32GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 2x 2080S SLI 8GB, Oculus Rift S. i7-8700k, 16GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 1080Ti 11GB, 27" 4K, 65" HDR 4K.
Hardcard Posted March 11, 2020 Author Posted March 11, 2020 @Fri13 When flying these planes, pilots are already forced to work around several important deficiencies, it makes no sense to add ridiculous HUD reflections to the list. Take the fulcrum, for instance, it has no DataLink, no fly-by-wire, carries subpar R77 missiles (compared to AMRAAM and SD10), has inferior RWR and modest fuel capacity. While the fulcrum's potential rivals in the sky (hornet, viper, eagle, tomcat) don't suffer from this HUD reflection problem, carry better missiles, have Datalink (or similar) and better RWR. @Stratos Glad you liked it [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Grajo Posted March 13, 2020 Posted March 13, 2020 Thanks for the mod Hardcard! I am sure many people is gonna be glad you share it with us. Like Fri13, I also feel that I would prefer to have at least "something" in the reflection, specially in the SU-25A. Do not ask me why... I just feel that something is missing, for the MiG seems good to me, I guess is just a matter of personal preference... :] Some real time reflection "a baked cockpit spherical map" or something done in a smart/not heavy performance impact, would be just the thing that cockpits are missing...:noexpression: *Also, ED PLEASE, fix this exterior model inside cockpit (texture flat color) in the SU-25A. It has been a while, I can not wait for this to happen... :cry: Link to my MODs - So far...
Hardcard Posted March 13, 2020 Author Posted March 13, 2020 Ok, ok, I get it... you're masochists :lol: There, I've created Lite versions with increased reflection transparency and included them in the mods, for those of you who can't live without reflections ;) Su-25A ClearHUD + Su-25A ClearHUD Lite : https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3308353/ MiG-29 ClearHUD + MiG-29 ClearHUD Lite : https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3308354/ [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Grajo Posted March 13, 2020 Posted March 13, 2020 I am no masochist..., but thanks for the update. I will give it a shot when I arrive home :thumbup: Link to my MODs - So far...
Hardcard Posted March 13, 2020 Author Posted March 13, 2020 I am no masochist... It's all in good fun (and yes, YOU ARE) ;) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
