Cockpit mods

Hi, which of the current readability and clarity mods work with the current build? I usually use the F14 VUX mod, but it messes the mirrors up, which I really like.....

 

Thanks

What happens to your mirrors exactly? I tried his mod out, and had no issues.

You should update your VUX mod. After 2.8.3, the mirrors got changed slightly and that broke compatibility with existing mods that weren't updated. You can manually update your currently installed mod by adding the lines of code to the description.lua (if you don't want to update your mod by downloading from the source):

--DCS 2.8.3 Mirrors Fix
    {"mirror_left",    DIFFUSE            ,    "mirrors", true};
    {"mirror_left",    SELF_ILLUMINATION    ,    "mirrors", true};
    {"mirror_top",    DIFFUSE            ,    "mirrors", true};
    {"mirror_top",    SELF_ILLUMINATION    ,    "mirrors", true};
    {"mirror_right",    DIFFUSE            ,    "mirrors", true};
    {"mirror_right",    SELF_ILLUMINATION    ,    "mirrors", true};
    {"rio_mirror",    DIFFUSE            ,    "mirrors", true};
    {"rio_mirror",    SELF_ILLUMINATION    ,    "mirrors", true};
    {"mirrors_fake",    DIFFUSE            ,    "mirrors_fake", true};

Thanks, I was running version 2.4, does 2.5 avoid the mirrors issue? I checked in the version 5 description .lua and those lines were not there. I added at the top, see enclosed....is this correct? Thanks! 

description.lua

Edit: This seems to work, so anyone who needs the edited .lua file can download. Thanks for your help. Have to say, the mod is excellent.....
