DoctorK, I'm really liking the canopy rail, though it could be a bit lighter, imo, but that's just me. Very nice job.

 

I am working on a similar project, focusing mostly on gauges and the functional aspect fo the cockpit. I would love to collaborate with you if that sounds good to you. Send me a PM if you're interested.

 

Again, nice work. I would never have had to courage to tackle the canopy rail texture.

Lovely work Doc! Looking forward to using your awesome mod.

Thanks for your efforts!

I just tried it and I like it and will keep it. Good work! :thumbup:

Superb ~ I especially loved the "Separate HUD Glasses" touch and the canopy rail details

 

Most of all, it's FPS friendly ^

I brighten the rail a bit. See the first post.

The collaboration is welcome. You can combine my work with yours.

I am trying to merge what you have Arrow now as your hi-res gauges, MPCD and TEWS are better than the stock. DoctorK's mod unfortunately disables your mod files that are placed in the temptexture folder. A collaboration would be nice.

Niiice, will check this out today, thanks! :thumbup:

[Mustang]

One big reason in itself to use this mod, you can ACTUALLY SEE the airbrake indicator now! :D

 

 

really, this is a excellent mod guys, HIGHLY recommended :thumbup:

[HiJack]

Yes it's nice; but you can not use this online on integrety checked servers?

 

(HJ)

[Kuky]

sure you can...

[_Dredd]

Fantastic work! :)

 

Im getting a corrupt file warning with the darker version ?

Wow so F-15 has brake indicator :D

[Breakshot]

Nice mod!

 

Quick question though... the white "glass like" line across the middle of the HUD, is that by design or an artifact?! Or is this some sort of double HUD glass effect? U can see it clearly on the screenies in the first post...

 

Dont know of any real HUD pix to compare this with....

I had the same question, don't know if this is an F-15 hud, but it was on google

picture search keywords "F-15 hud"

 

It seems that given the angles required on the "beam splitters",

or whatever theyre called for a hud, that you need 2 plates.

 

I think a better solution would be a horizontally mounted image source,

a mirror and then a single beam splitter plate, but I guess it is not used

in aircraft. (or just mount the image source from a diff angle)

Well it looks to be that its a RL feature of F15 HUD, at least judging from that pic... so i guess the mod replicates this... although would be great for someone whos in the know to shed light on this?

[RvEYoda]

Maybe they have the image source from a diff angle in newer eagles to

prevent the need for 2 plates?

[FullerGer]

Nice Cockpitremake!

 

@Airbrake Light:

You could already see it before (also in LockOn 1.1x, but very hard). In FC2 it became more visible because of the 6DOF.

very nice MOD!

I'm not eactly in the know, but I do know this line created from the 2 different glass plates should be nearly invisible. The glass is beveled to match the angle of the line of sight so that this does not distract the pilot. While this feature reflects the real aircraft, I believe it's a bit much.

 

DoctorK, I was looking through your mod. I take it you modified the F-15 kabina.cmd file. This is to reveal the F-15 speedbrake indicator along with a few other modifications?
