New overhauled clean black F-16 cockpit

[JetCat]

Hi pilots,

do you want a nicer-looking F-16 cockpit that is not overly dirty and covered with estimated ~1000 scratches every single square inch of metal and plastic? Clean and comfy and ready to hang on a rearview-mirror car charm tree?

Do you want your cockpit nice stealthy black and the ejection seat textures overhauled too?

Finally with the new IntelTextureWorks_1.0.4 Photoshop CS25 plugin I could manage to completely overhaul all the textures I want in Flight Simulator 20 and DCS!

After that newest The Book of Boba Fett episode "The Return Of The Mandalorian" and after watching these scenes with building and overhauling the racer space ship I absolutely had to redo the F-16 cockpit (for the outside 3D model I already have enough fine variants and tiger-meet and other airbrush designs).

Please backup your "default" folder inside your F-16 install, and insert the new freshly overhauled default into:

D:\Steam\steamapps\common\DCSWorld\Mods\aircraft\F-16C\Liveries\Cockpit_F-16C

Fasten your seat belts and enjoy your flight!

Download link, hmm I think I will name the download "Version 1.0" because it looks rather finished and without texture bugs or visual glitches, but I am going to make it look more perfect and I will see if I can make the yellow colour tones of these different cockpit elements fully match in 100% and do some other fine details...

Enjoy

Please don´t use it - I found out as soon as the light in the cockpit is switched on everything turns neon-green.

Unlike in my F-18 Hornet cockpit and other repaints the usual method of saving textures does not work in the F-16, and until I don´t know the correct .DDS format or conversion tool for the F-16 unfortunately this cockpit will not function properly.

This is how the textures looks like when any of the floodlights are switched on - I am sorry I have tried every imaginable conversion and .DDS exporting with Gimp and Photoshop and Intel TextureWorks tool and it just does not work no matter what format or compression I use for the textures.

Hi @JetCat, did you update the download with a night lighting fix? Wanted to try it tonight when come back home from work I really don't like how stock Viper pit looks at night, hope that your work will improve it a lot.

Did you ever fix the issue? I like this cockpit the best out of them all. Looks like you lost the alpha channel when exporting, if you have the original project files it's just a matter of re-exporting the textures. If not you will need to copy and paste the Alpha channels from the original textures one by one and then export it correctly.

BTW. the Kneeboard is also blank, cause the new pilot model
