Question about different cockpit versions

Hi all,

 

sorry if this is an obvious question, but I've just seen a YT tutorial for the Huey and the cockpit looks totally different to what I have (e.g. yellow stripes on the frame and a digital? altimeter).

 

My question now is, am I using an old module? Can anyone please help me? And if so, how do I get the updated version?

 

In addition, I purchased this module when it was in beta (June 2013)

 

Thanks guys.

Hey,

 

There are several "cockpit liveries" available for download in for example the "User Files" section of the official DCS website. Some people also make their own, with a few added decals etc.

 

Personally, I use a combination of 2 different cockpit mods: one with mipmaps removed for increased readability in VR, and clearer green cockpit glass in anticipation for a new cockpit model by ED that supports DS/PBR.

 

No so, there's no need to worry. Yes it's an old module that doesn't support changes ED made to DCS over 3 years ago, but we're all in the same boat 🙂

and a digital? altimeter

 

That is part of the default cockpit. It's the radar alitmeter (not to be confused with the barometric altimeter). It needs to be powered on through the respective switch far back on the overhead panel and then a LOW ALT and HIGH ALT setting needs to be dialed in before it comes to live.

DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!

I see, thank you. Much to learn I have still, Master QuiGon. 😉
