Effects of dirt and scratches on the glass

[Atazar SPN]

Before you start hyperventilating, consider supporting or rejecting this suggestion in a civil and rational way, since currently the Huey's windows are so clean that there is no difference between inside or outside the cabin. There is no feeling of being inside a cabin with something separating us from the outside. Obviously this is easier to fly, it is easier to see, to identify targets, but I don't think that was how things were seen in Afghanistan, Vietnam and other war scenarios.

Look at the photo and try the modification with different lighting taking your time.

The modification that I am going to share below does not pass the integrity filter. I had to work it on the texture intended for reflections because changes in the texture of the glass have no effect.

If you are interested in trying it:

Make a backup of your original UH-1H-CPT-TEXTURES folder hosted at C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\Uh-1H\Cockpit\Textures and when you have made the rating, leave your comment.

I will not have the file hosted for a long time in Drive due to storage space issues. After a week it will be removed.

If you like this modification, we can ask Eagle Dynamics to consider creating something similar by default or perhaps the ability to choose between dirty or clean cabin before the flight.

Thank you so much.

Hi there,

sorry, I'm a bit late to the party. Any chance you can put the link back online? I would really like to test this texture.
Thx and best regards,
Flo

Coming from a 412 crew chief, that is way too dirty.
