real HD black shark cockpit....

[RICARDO]

As i said, i underestimate the work on the pit, i will finish next week the right

low panel, then i will need one more week to do night lights.

I worked on some details i didn't expect to rework at the begining (seats, lamps)

i will take one more week to review all files and correct some details.

so i will probably release at the end of january.

you'll need to be a bit more patient :joystick:

[Bucic]

One piece of advice. You should release it while people will still remember what Black Shark is :D

[Sharkster64]

That is awesome news Ricardo. I will try to be patient.:unsure:

 

Please don't feel bad for the negative things other individuals have to say about your mod. The vast majority love this mod and REALLY appreciate what you are doing. I will certainly wait longer to get the best mod possible. Black Shark isn't going any where, and I will certainly be playing it when this mod comes out. You the man Ricardo :thumbup:

 

I would rep you again if I could, but the server won't let me.

When you have tough time finding motivation to continue the work just think how many people will be getting back to DCS Black Shark just to try out your cockpit mod :)

Too bad there's nothing we can do about missing cockpit textures.

Well, even after you guys told me there are missing I didn´t noticed it while flying for some reason. Too many other things distracting my attention ;)

[RICARDO]

hello,

of course if someone knows how to change mapping zones, and create different files to map theses areas, i would be interested.....

another litlle bug that i noticed is the way 3D light reacts with dark surfaces.

the hud panel turns grey without any dark lines and forces as soon as a direct sun light hit it.

nothing to to to correct that effect, the only way would be to soft the lighting effect.

I have finished today the two low panels, right and left and the right back panel and seat.

next step, nigh light....

[Bucic]

I bet that the missing textures are caused, again, by some gimmicks in the old graphics engine and it has been presented more than dozen times than gimmicks will always kick you in the but hard and often. That's why I get all merry when I hear ED announcing some part of the code has been re-written from scratch.

[BKLronin]

Why texturing something that is black or at least not very detailed?

 

To modify the texture mapping you need the whole 3D model of the Cockpit editable in 3D tool, I guess 3Ds max as you may know and I know from X-plane.

Oh please. Are we in mid 90's? The whole left cockpit wall section is without texture.

[BKLronin]

Well I don´t care too much about that. I´m just thinking that theres not much difference between black as color or a black texture. :P

 

I can´t find any photographs of this part of the cockpit.

 

EDIT:

 

I wouldn´t scratch a good texture off the wall if it was contained in ricardos cockpit mod for sure.

WIP

 

hello, back from africa, one week end to check the new files in game,

and here comes the screens.

two new low side panels, the floor and back right panel.

you will also notice the new oxigen tank.

i still have two problems to solve.

i never found the plate around the helmet sensor wich is supose to be on the "hud" file.

the new mistery comes from "panel R" file.

the low part of the seat is redone in this file but doesn't apear in game.

I though that for thoses two problem the solution was perhaps the same,

the game was using a very small portion of the original "russian" file.

i tried to edit the russian file with the seat redone, but :( nothing....

if someone has a solution, i will be able to spend my time in a more usefull way :music_whistling:

 

here comes the new screens.
