ED's illumination is wrong, the instrumens should look like this

This is not our simulated version. Any other source you base it on?

Nice work so far!  Just fyi the backlights IRL are white not red.  Red does look cool but isn't accurate if that's what you're going for.

In the F-15A, one hundred percent of the backlight of the clocks was white, in the F-15C, rather too. It was definitely not red/amber.

Thanks for the input guys, thas why I created this thread.

I didn't know about the different backlight colours on the F-15C/A.

Unable to change the colour so green it is. 

Life has kept me busy so no updates as of now. But the version uploaded, is working.

ED's pit has no backlights at all, thas what im basing it on. It has no floodlights either. 
It's like a diver watch with luminous indices.

Is this project still on the go?  

I'm grateful for any effort that may restore the F-15C cockpit to its former glory. 🙏

With the game engine evolving and the F-15C left behind, it’s the side panels that look the worst to me and kind of spoil the immersiion a little when I see them in the wrong lighting and wrong angle.  

Here’s some official ED pics showing how lovely the cockpit looked back in 2012 when it was first released. 😊

Honestly, I don't see that it has changed all that much:

It seems OK to me, particularly as this is a non-clickable Module, you shouldn't need to be looking at your side panels.

Most gauges on the right are finished, the caution pannel included:

I have updated the download link at the beginning of the thread.

The next step will be the artificial horizon.
If you have any requests of what I should do next, post them here.

Anything you can do to improve the washed out look of the side panels and other washed out parts of the cockpit would be most welcome. 🙏

You can see the cockpit used to look with darker and crisper textures in the pic below.👍

Not sure if I will touch the side pannels. Redoing them would be a huge undertaking with no real benefit.

The backup attitude indicator has been redone and is now correct:

If someone happens to have good photos of the AOA indicator, please send them my way. ED's is wrong, that's for sure.
Oil pressure gauges have been updated.

If anyone wants to help out, the text on the dash needs to be redone, texture 1 and 2.
The font is "MS 33558,".

@cookiemonste have you ever found what causes the cockpit glow a few seconds after entering it?

Its like there is another specular layer on top, because even if you make the spec files pink it reduces the effect a bit but it is still there. Does it have something to do with the "-sp" files? the 15 is the only FC3 aircraft that have those files and have this glow.

Also, did you managed to darken the side panel instruments? this is the best I could do and still doesn't feel that much dark.

EDIT: I found the culprit for the front panel glow (comparing with Coltrogue's textures, because he managed to fix it), it's the f'ing seat (ACES2-01 and 02), the thing shines like gold.

I originally wanted to darken the panels but I've had a GIMP crash and lost the HUD quadrant that has been done, I have it as unlayerd PNG from the DDS. Not sure if I want to redo it all over. Maybe another day. I am sorry for the lack of updates, I have been away on digital detox and still are but I can upload the latest version in the mean time.

Hotfix for the unexpected texture update, this project is not dead, I just dont have the time.

Great to hear! Even with the latest update it still looks terrible at night, so I'm looking forward to trying this out!

Can someone point me to how I enable a modded Cockpit.  I have the following that shows up in the Model Viewer but I can't get it show up in the sim?  It's not working for me like the Sabre did....so I'm a little stumped....
