High-res cockpit

[dresoccer4]

Hello! Curious if there are either any plans to update the cockpit to a higher resolution, or if a mod exists to do this? Was just flying this ol' dude today and it's starting to look really dated. Cheers

ah, my great grandpappy used to tell me legends of such things

It's not only the bf-109 cockpit that needs to be retextured, would be also awesome to see new textures for the P-51 and FW-190D-9 cockpits.

Funnily enough those three you mention had retextured cockpits not long ago .

o' really? interesting

Well, this Stang/109/Dora pit retexture happened in December 2018, so "not long ago" is a relative term .

That being said, for DCS standards they're indeed quite "new" and I wouldn't expect any work done on them anytime soon, at least not until everything's gonna have to be redone for Vulkan anyway.

I don't recall the exact date, I didn't think it to be so long as 2018, I believe the two years-ish pandemic confinement made us all lose track of time. I might recall Dora-109 ones perhaps came a bit later and not at the same time as the P-51D 3D revamp, D-25 added, and for Dora there was a cockpit texture and windscreen geometry adaptation? So it would be closer to now, not sure though since it's from my currently rather poor memory.

Anyhow and whatever it is, those were updates for modules released in 2012 P-51, 2014? D-9, you're right it's hard to believe more updates would come very close from now. Who knows though.

The 109 poor texture though is only for that canopy edge IIRC, the rest of the cockpit was retextured either and it's not bad at all. That edge though is probably a bad "fix", it might be related to 3D model so they can't just rise resolution for the edge and that's all. Anyhow, have you tried flying with the canopy closed?

Well, at the end of the day, all cockpits still look wonderful.
this can easily look like this for more than +5 years for me

You think the plane looks dated. You should see me.

I think the textures look fine, I'm happy with them. But I'd still love to see an update, and have it repainted in a darker, more realistic color. I've seen 109 cockpits in museums and they were all painted a darker grey than what we have in DCS:

Bear in mind that monitors and gamma need to be set right.

Also, for physical based rendering, colors might vary in perception from what you see because the surrounding.

The surrounding color bleeds into the textures color. Eg, if you put a red object next to a grey one, the red object will "tint" the grey object into a pinkish grey.

Aside from that, RLM66 -like many other RLM Colors- had variations.

Eg:

I inderstand that very well, but our cockpit is much lighter than your last sample, isn’t it on your screen too?

[DB 605]

This topic is discussed many times already. Cockpit color in dcs is way too light for any rlm 66 version and does not resembles that color well by any means. I have sit in the cockpit of real 109 and when canopy is closed the cockpit is very dark. Therefore official repaint would be much needed and appreciated.

in beta with my own liveries cockpit modes in

C:\Users\XXX\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Liveries\Cockpit_Bf-109K-4\

dos not disable reflections from old versions of DCS.

How to remove it now in new beta?
