Spirit X Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 I recently downloaded Ricardo's HD cockpit mod for the Ka-50 in DCS World and something funky seems to be going on. If I load up, for example, a basic free flight or and Instant Action Cold Start, the PVI looks great: ...BUT..if i go into some of the missions I've downloaded, or Instant Action Shooting Gallery, it looks totally awful and I cannot see what the display is actually showing at all: Does anyone know what on earth is going on here, it's really ruining lots of my missions because I just cannot use the PVI at all!

Holton181 Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Where is the sun in these pictures? Looks like the PVI is in the shadows in the first and lit by the sun on the second.

Spirit X Posted April 21, 2020 Author Share Posted April 21, 2020 Good thought but it's not that. The PVI is either like in the first pic or the second pic for the entire mission regardless of orientation of the chopper or weather. For instance, if I play the Ka-50 'Deployment' campaign, it looks like the second pic for every mission and never changes. There are other differences in the pit too, I just picked the most obvious and annoying. It seems that the game loads two different versions of the pit for me and I just cannot figure out why it's doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BranchPrediction Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 But why use the old pit? The new one is so much better imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spirit X Posted April 23, 2020 Author Share Posted April 23, 2020 Not sure I know what you mean. I'm a bit of a DCS noob. By 'the new pit' do you mean Ricardo's mod? That is what I'm trying to use, but it seems to work inconsistently for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BranchPrediction Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 No friend, i mean the new cockpit free upgrade that we got 2 months ago i think. U should update the game and get the new cockpit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spirit X Posted April 23, 2020 Author Share Posted April 23, 2020 Ok, well I'm pretty sure I'm up to date. I've run the updater and it didn't update anything and my version says 2.5.5.41371. So I guess my default cockpit must be the new one but using that pit I find that I cannot tell when a lot of the buttons are on or off, specifically the targeting buttons (turn to target, ground moving target) and the buttons around the edge of the PVI like the Waypoint button. There seems to be no difference on the buttons whether they're lit or not....which is why I sought out Ricardo's mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BranchPrediction Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Oh yeah i tottaly forgot. There is a new and much better looking cockpit available but only on the open beta of dcs. I havent had any big issues with the open beta so i recommend u to play on the open beta. The new cockpit is much better imo. U can download the open beta on dcs site. It will use a lot of the files that the stable version uses so u wont have to download too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randomTOTEN Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 It does look like the same model and textures in both images.. I also guess that the lighting is different between missions... I wouldn't suggest you try the beta branch of the software if you're still new. Let the rest of us work out the bugs first, but yes, there is a new cockpit model on the way for you :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
