akarsdcs Posted August 25 Posted August 25 Repaint of the F-86 Cockpit This model, which was very well made in its time, is already quite old, and I believe it deserves a modernization. I have carried out the repaint based on the black cockpit scheme, as I had complete photographic references of this version and, in this way, it also allows the option of flying both variants. All labels and legends have been recreated according to the available real-world information, while keeping in mind the limitations of integrating them into an already existing model. Repaint of the F-86 Sabre Jet Cockpit What has been achieved: -Application of a black base coat on the cockpit model. -Addition of metal wear effects, scratches, and layers of dust and dirt to enhance realism. -Implementation of roughmet layers, allowing for highlights and reflections that vary depending on the material of each surface. Limitations encountered: -The original model does not include bump maps in its files, which makes it impossible to simulate surface roughness and fine reliefs through the shader. Despite this, every effort has been made to achieve a convincing result. -The instrument lights could not be altered, as they are not texture-dependent but rather determined by the way the models were originally exported. https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/es/files/3346544/ 2 5
Saguanay Posted August 25 Posted August 25 Looks good. That would be quite a hot cockpit in the sun. Hope the air works as it should.

Czar Posted 2 hours ago Posted 2 hours ago Looks like that's a straight up upgrade! I have downloaded it but haven't played with it yet. Any chance to make it not needing to overwrite the default cockpit skin while being select able on the Sabre's special tab back and forth with the default? Outstanding work.
buceador Posted 1 hour ago Posted 1 hour ago (edited) What a labour of love! Can this repaint be applied to the FC version of the sabre? UPDATE: I downloaded the trial version of the Sabre to check out your work, I am familiar with the DCS file structure so I made a backup of the original .zip file and placed your version in the correct folder, in my case F:\DCS World\Mods\aircraft\F-86\Cockpit\Textures\F-86F-35-CPT-TEXTURES.zip (75.1 MB) However when I run it the cockpit remains the same? Any ideas? Edited 7 minutes ago by buceador
