New cockpit textures not that much better? (DCS 2.9.3 compared with old cockpit mods)

[dlder]

So, I've just made a few comparison pictures in the F-15C and the Casper mod, as well as in the Su-33 with Devrim mod and although some parts (especially text readability) are sometimes better in 2.9.3, all in all, these old mods look... better/more natural, at least to me:

(shown is the default as the first picture and the mod as the 2nd. It would probably be best to download those pictures to easily switch between them though)

What's your opinion? Are my eye deceiving me?^^

Except for the A-10, I was surprised all the others were still at low resolution.

I hope the update in 3d model materials and the implementing of PBR textures will inspire community texture artist to make high resolution alternatives for us.

Yes, the A-10 is another story altogether!

The A-10s cockpit texture has a size of 336 MB, while the other are only at 40-60 MB!

Read it properly. ED's announcement is dated February 23, 2024. the update to 2.9.3.51704 occurred before this date(22.02.2024). The A-10A_2 and Su-25 have newer textures, with those of the Su-25 being from December last year. The cockpit shapes except those of the Mig-29 also have a more recent date.
