[DCS:W - BS2] New "True Blue" Ka-50 Cockpit (English & Russian Versions)

[Ebs]

Hi all,

 

For those of you that don't know, I've been working on a "recolour" of the Kamov cockpit based on the amazing photos at http://englishrussia.com/2011/06/23/the-flight-training-centre-in-torzhok/

 

I've tried to get each element of the pit as close as possible to the photos at that link and I'm happy enough to release it.

 

Full credit goes to Ricardo for his amazing HD cockpit and DEVRiM for adapting it for BS2/DCS:W. Russian Version uses ZMEY-HS- Russian Pit as a base.

 

Here are some pics of the Russian Version...English version is identical (apart from the obvious ;))

Files are live, go go go!...

 

 

Hope you like it!,

Ebs.

Thank you all, and especially Ricardo. Don't forget Sorcer3r.

That cockpit looks so good so is almost photorealistic. You guys are great!

[Mainstay]

Why dont you upload it to lockon files?

[Ebs]

Well it's already on the ED site now. Took me an hour to upload both zips :(

Hopefully they'll get approved soon!

[Mainstay]

ok thx man

[Witchking]

Looks very good in comparison to the real pics. Great job! But ugly compared to the default colour. lol! Why do they paint them that colour? Black looks so much nicer in the shark. But on the other hand, I think this blue looks great in the flankers and frogfoot.

Thank you Ebs!

hat blue/green/whatever has been used on Russian aircraft all the way back from the end of WW2 with some exceptions of course. Russian scientists say the color subconsciously relaxes and reduces stress in combat situations (in theory at least), where the pilot has to focus fully on his / her task.

Looks brilliant, can't wait to install it. :)

[Ebs]

Files are still on "checking"

If they're not finished tonight, I'll upload to lockonfiles and update the post.

 

Thanks.

[kobac]

It will, probably during the day, be approved. Never mind, we will wait.

Thanks! Downloaded and instaled! Good work, Ebs! :thumbup:

[Ebs]

Thanks to the people who've already downloaded!

Why blue? As much contrast as possible on critical items with a blue sky as overwhelming background.

I can't wait to try this. Question, is the blue pit viewable from external views?

 

Ebs, you seem to be a new member but very well versed in these types of mods? Please keep them coming...and welcome to the forum!

[kobac]

Can you, please, tell me in which file is located caps switch?

kobac: not sure what you mean by 'caps' switch?

[roob]

Looks very nice! I'm gonna try it out :) Ricardos, while still awesome, might be a bit too blue

With new blue pit, i have flickering/sparkling on all instruments of the pits.

I don't have this on the previous DEVIM's pits.

 

Has anybody the same issue?

[David Wong]

Same probelm.

[kobac]

I mean this switch lids (caps), I want to paint them black.

Sorry about that guys. I did change the DDS compression on some of the files but the instruments I left alone...Any more info you could give? can you get a screenshot of it? What about graphics cards?

 

Could you try this first: in my zip, swap out devices.dds with Ricardo's original HD black devices.dds and see if the flickering goes away. If so, then I know how to fix it.

ahh. That's devices.dds. simply swap that file out with Ricardo's original HD black devices.dds and you'll get black caps.

OK many many 10x

 

 

Here now, I tried to replace yours and Zmey's texture and didn't work out (I got the orange warning "Missing textures"). It's probably because you saved their as DDS DXT3 and Zmey save them as DDS DXT5 perhaps that explains the flickering ...

 

Edit: OK, now I was able to swap files :smilewink: Now I have black switch caps, and I can quickly find switches. Even it seems to me that the FPS is higher :)

Hello dear artists,

 

WOW great idea, I really love these black switch caps, please can you tell me if this new files will be available to downloaded ?

 

Once again, congratulation for your work, Skull.

[kobac]

I think it's not right that I upload this version, because I just converted and combined files made ​​by Ricardo, Ebs and Zmey. I have it, but perhaps Ebs want to ...
