ebabil Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 (edited) Mi-8 and UH-1 are now 10 years old. Too many things have changed since then. You can spot the differences by looking at Mi24 or apache. I hope ED would consider renewing 3d models and cockpits of these beloved workhorses.

TheGhostOfDefi Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 Well as great as this would be those helps are from Belsim. So technically not an ED problem, sort of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebabil Posted March 29, 2023 Author Share Posted March 29, 2023 Belsim is no more for many years. They are doing what ED ask them to do 1 FC3 | UH-1 | Mi-8 | A-10C II | F/A-18 | Ka-50 III | F-14 | F-16 | AH-64 | Mi-24 | F-5 | F-15E| F-4| Tornado Persian Gulf | Nevada | Syria | NS-430 | Supercarrier // Wishlist: CH-53 | UH-60 Youtube MS FFB2 - TM Warthog - CH Pro Pedals - Trackir 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, All the First Modules need 3D Model Facelifts, F-86F, MIG-15, UH-1H, MI8, and F-5E. The F-5E is already getting a revamp of sorts, but the others all need it as well. 3 Windows 10 Pro, Ryzen 2700X @ 4.6Ghz, 32GB DDR4-3200 GSkill (F4-3200C16D-16GTZR x2), ASRock X470 Taichi Ultimate, XFX RX6800XT Merc 310 (RX-68XTALFD9) 3x ASUS VS248HP + Oculus HMD, Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS + MFDs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_sukebe Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 I’m hoping that the work to move to Vulkan will result in them getting an overhaul 2 System: 9700, 64GB DDR4, 2070S, NVME2, Rift S, Jetseat, Thrustmaster F18 grip, VPC T50 stick base and throttle, CH Throttle, MFG crosswinds, custom button box, Logitech G502 and Marble mouse.

ebabil Posted March 29, 2023 Author Share Posted March 29, 2023 I don't get the correlation but I hope you are right. I don't mind how they would get the update 2 FC3 | UH-1 | Mi-8 | A-10C II | F/A-18 | Ka-50 III | F-14 | F-16 | AH-64 | Mi-24 | F-5 | F-15E| F-4| Tornado Persian Gulf | Nevada | Syria | NS-430 | Supercarrier // Wishlist: CH-53 | UH-60 Youtube MS FFB2 - TM Warthog - CH Pro Pedals - Trackir 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind how they would get the update As I understand it, the move the Vulkan requires an update to the textures of basically everything (could be wrong on that). The newer modules will already have those newer textures and we’ve seen updates to the A10 and KA50. I’m rather assuming that those updates will continue for other older models 1 System: 9700, 64GB DDR4, 2070S, NVME2, Rift S, Jetseat, Thrustmaster F18 grip, VPC T50 stick base and throttle, CH Throttle, MFG crosswinds, custom button box, Logitech G502 and Marble mouse.

bies Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 I'm wondering if it would be possible/profitable to outsource cockpit graphics rework for Huey, Mi-8, F-5E, F-86, MiG-15. Without even engaging ED's resources. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiob Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 I would absolutely love a (visual) overhaul of the older modules - especially the aforementioned helicopters. I would even support to pay for an updated version, as I can see that it would take a lot of work. However - this wish was articulated a hundred times by dozens of people by now. I'm sure ED is aware of the demand. It is probably a matter of resources and economic viability. 1 "Muß ich denn jedes Mal, wenn ich sauge oder saugblase den Schlauchstecker in die Schlauchnut schieben?"
