cookiemonste Posted January 3, 2023 Posted January 3, 2023 (edited) Hey folks, happy new year! This is my attempt to overhaul the pit and fix the illumination issues I came across. I'd like to redo the entire pit, textures, materials, since its looking too glossy from what I have seen. However, I can't really find good pictures of the pit, this is where I ask you for help and feedback. So far I have removed the baked in reflections of the screens, gave the throttle quadrant some hairs and redid the fuel gauge and the heading tape on the cannopy. Additionally, I have upscaled the base textures using AI and used some of Caspers textures. Anyway, have some teasers: Download link, 25.05.2024: https://mega.nz/file/oj4yBTYI#DobWE32VQrap2xNLx7J1YJnXF2GWe4tDeYhF1-NaNII Key: DobWE32VQrap2xNLx7J1YJnXF2GWe4tDeYhF1-NaNII Edited July 6, 2024 by cookiemonste 6 3
Nahen Posted January 3, 2023 Posted January 3, 2023 I'd love to see the end result - the most annoying thing is the backlight at night. It's just that it would be nice to tone yet down the RWR, RADAR and MFD displays themselves. Because at night they blinds and the most and disturb.

Not sure if I can do that, thats part of the avionics, if you mean the symbology. I can tweak the rest though.

I suppose that these three displays are so crammed somewhere in the code that it will be hard to change their parameters.
tn_prvteye Posted January 4, 2023 Posted January 4, 2023 I can take some photos from "The F-15 Eagle Exposed"...it's got good cockpit references. Not sure of the legality of this, though.

cookiemonste Posted January 5, 2023 Author Posted January 5, 2023 Small update, the new speed guage is complete. 6
pauldy Posted January 8, 2023 Posted January 8, 2023 Wow nice, looking forward to your mod.. especially the night lighting texture^^ [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
cookiemonste Posted January 8, 2023 Author Posted January 8, 2023 (edited) Small update, I tried my hand at creating some roughmets for the canopy strut and the seat. It's very flat at the moment, still trying to figure out how to put in more constrast without having to redo every scratch and dirt stain. The mirrors still have their old spec texture. Good news, the roughmet mod does not break IC. Edited January 8, 2023 by cookiemonste 1

cookiemonste Posted January 16, 2023 Author Posted January 16, 2023 I couldn't resist to see what the screens would look like with roughmets. This is very much WIP, fingerprints and dirt and grime are still to be added to the screen and the roughmet. 1

cookiemonste Posted February 3, 2023 Author Posted February 3, 2023 Hi, I'm still working on it but my job has been keeping me busy. I'm currently thinking about releasing a WIP build of this in this thread.

cookiemonste Posted February 10, 2023 Author Posted February 10, 2023 (edited) I've been working on the clock as of lately. Not sure what ED had as ressource but its not correct. Since I've already made the assets for the old clock, there will be 2 versions, a carbon copy of ED's clock and a "real" version. I should have more times on my hand now so stay tuned.

cookiemonste Posted February 13, 2023 Author Posted February 13, 2023 (edited) I have started work on useless details: I started redoing the HUD console: And the navigation should be easier now at night as well, not sure if I'll remaster the compass, I just messed with the heading marker: I tried adding more details but ED says no: BTW: Does anyone in here know if it is possible to change the colour of the light itself? ED's illumination has the wrong colour, it should be red. Edited February 13, 2023 by cookiemonste 6 1
seven90 Posted February 14, 2023 Posted February 14, 2023 Great work bro！Looking forward to seeing the final or wip Mod. I find the hud of the F15C really hard to read when the sun is at 12o`clock. Would it be possible to do someting to make it more easy to read out? 1

cookiemonste Posted February 16, 2023 Author Posted February 16, 2023 Once the gauges are done, I will upload a preliminary version in this thread. I'm about 70% done with the gauges. There are so many things I'd like to improve a the same time that it would take ages to get it done. Simulated flood lights, roughmets, colour corrections etc. So here is the plan: if the gauges are done, a WIP version will be posted in the first post. WIP picture of roughmet work and illumination improvements will be posted here. 1 3
cookiemonste Posted February 26, 2023 Author Posted February 26, 2023 After finding new ressources, I have realised that most gauges need a rework to be accurate. I dont know how long this project will take, that's why im posting a current version. This project will continue but it will take a good while. 2

cookiemonste Posted March 3, 2023 Author Posted March 3, 2023 (edited) OK, I've been messing around a bit, ED's illumination is wrong, the instrumens should look like this: I am unsure if I can change the colour of the light itself but I have been able to replicated this kind of backlight: Your thoughts? I might be able to fake the floodlights by painting the lights onto the consoles and instrument panels itself, so it has a slight glow. Edited March 3, 2023 by cookiemonste 4
