I know it's not a "E" but having seen a plethora of in cockpit vids lately it would be nice to have a shiney new option where the framework and panels are all dark and new.

Obviously a very, very low priority.

I would like to have "messy" cockpit option. With my notebooks & checklist thrown on top of both sunshades, my water bottle tossed up there as well with my tablet. While the front seat has the same items tossed up causing a nice reflection in the canopy

Your lack of order disgusts me.😉 

Seriously though, having those other items around the 64 dash or stuffed into gaps would also be be very cool. 

I've always thought the A10 was missing a dashboard top checklist, book or flag.

It will be cool that the disorder was randomized, with items changing randomly of type and position on every mission start. A factory fresh canopy would be nice also.

Today I have finally finished the BlackSquare Piston and Turbine Duke overhaul. Maybe soon I will do some more repaints and cockpit variants with my beloved Apache 🙂  The F-16 cockpit has also turned out almost factory-new but still keeps the slightly used look for photorealism.

Unfortunately my cockpits are never really factory-new (A-10) but slightly used, like for example the visual style of this F-16. I personally want this for my Apache too so maybe you have to just wait a bit until you get a refurbished Apache cockpit.. 😉

The squeaky clean cockpit V1 is finished now 🙂

This is how a well-maintained Apache cockpit looks like on real photos. It is not factory-new but with light photorealistic wear and tear, my main goal was to get back the SUPERB original Apache release cockpit look and feel from the Apache reviews with screenshots from two years ago. Some time after too much wear and tear where added that looks like a confetti gun shot onto every single surface and all MFD´s *ggg I have removed that and brought back the one and only the real authentic Apache release look.

Here are the screenshots of the first refurbished cockpit version. This file is not yet uploaded, I must test it under various lighting conditions, rain, check if all panels are correctly illuminated at night, a few colour filters and other details before uploading.

On this panel a small change on the labels was made, SAFE NAV AUTO are a few millimeters higher now. Of course with night lighting.

I have also re-done the seat texture, this is the newest version of my Apache seat (also not yet uploaded.)

This looks fantastic and I can't wait to try it out. Will you be uploading it to the DCS user files section? And is your latest F-16 cockpit available?

Not yet, I always forget to upload it. I was so preoccupied learning the Apache for weeks...

I am still doing a few changes here and there for our beloved Apache 🙂 to enhance details all over the cockpit. Upload will be in the next days.

It is still not factory-clean, but very well kempt already...

I’ve flown factory fresh Apaches, and they aren’t this clean.

You could tell the differences exact way it should be, like the pictures atached above
