Oyster_KAI Posted May 29, 2020 Author Posted May 29, 2020 (edited) IL-2 Mod1941/1942 Updated!! The IL-2s cockpits are very old, I encountered a lot of trouble when repainting the IL-2 cockpit. Not only the original resolution is too low, but also the transparency area of the Alpha layer error. I can't complete IL-2 Mod 1943 for this time, because some problems can only be solved by developers. I have fixed many Alpha layer transparency areas as much as I can do, and enhanced legibility and shadows. The IL-2 cockpit still has a long way to go, I have reported the graphics problems.

WWChunk Posted May 29, 2020 Posted May 29, 2020 Outstanding, thank you again for all of your continued hard work, @Oyster_KAI!!
WWChunk Posted May 30, 2020 Posted May 30, 2020 No, there is not. I’d suggest just biting the bullet and download/install them all now. Makes it a ton easier when updates are made.

Oyster_KAI Posted May 31, 2020 Author Posted May 31, 2020 Spitfire Mk.Vb/ IXe Updated!! These old BOX cockpits have the disadvantage, too small mapping texture and lacking bump texture (Normal map).

Hello Oyster - does this mean you cannot do anything with the IL-2M43? I do not think the developers are going to go back and correct the cockpits (committed to new aircraft instead), so it may well be that even a less than perfect update is still the best that can be done. I'm about to replay the IL2-M43 Sea Dragons campaign, so I have a good reason to ask!

I'm about to replay the IL2-M43 Sea Dragons campaign, so I have a good reason to ask! I understand the mood that you want to use the upgraded cockpit to enjoy Sea Dragons, so I will release the incomplete version of IL-2 M43 soon. The problem with IL-2 M43 cockpit is some texture mapping errors and the misalignment/offset of objects. I think it is the developers' unintentional errors in a hurry. I really hope that they can fix these accidentally errors in spare time. 1
kendo Posted June 4, 2020 Posted June 4, 2020 I noticed flickering / shimmering in the (stock game) il-2 cockpits recently - around the joystick/guntriggers. Posted about it in the bug report section a few days ago. The model '42 seemed to be worst affected, though visible on all the il-2s. Also noticed some 'shimmering' between the panel lines on the instrument panel.

Also noticed some 'shimmering' between the panel lines on the instrument panel. This looks like it was caused by the misalignment/offset of the object and texture... It seems that these errors did not exist before 4.006. Some cockpits are indeed affected, and the IL-2s are the most serious. 43 minutes ago, Voidhunger said: what about some enhancement for the Tanks? The official release of the Tank crew should not be far away. Before that, I want to enhance aircraft cockpits to a certain extent. 1

Dutch2 Posted June 5, 2020 Posted June 5, 2020 @Oyster_KAI any change to see some works for FC1, like the Anemometer as a sample could use some improvements.
Oyster_KAI Posted June 5, 2020 Author Posted June 5, 2020 (edited) Tempest Mk.V ser.2 & IL-2 Mod1943 Updated!! - The 2nd convert. - Added shadows & hilight. - Redrawn Morse code sender switchbox. IL-2 M43 Although this cockpit has some graphics problems that I cannot solve, I have tried my best to make it look better. The Bobp cockpits has now been complete the second round improvement. After I have completed the second round improvements for all aircraft, I will be more nitpicking for the third round improvement.?

The original textures cannot be seen clearly. Therefore, in the process of rebuilding the cockpit, this kind of precise suggestion is needed.

I don't have any reference pictures, so please consider it only as a guess from a native speaker. "Schlopp-Antenne" on the disc seems strange. The label at the top left reads "Schlepp" so I'd assume the disc could be labeled "Schlepp-Antenne". "Schlopp" is not a German word, so it could only be something derived from a manufacturer/product name (like Diesel). "Einpfeifen" sounds strange for a radio/navigation instrument. "Einpeilen" would be more common in that general context. "Einpfeifen" could be possible if it's a procedure very specific to this instrument. EDIT: Turned out it's really "Einpfeifen".

Oyster_KAI Posted June 7, 2020 Author Posted June 7, 2020 (edited) Bf-109 F2/F4/G2/G4 Updated!! - Removed wrong shadows(G2/G4) & Redrawn the two name plates. - Added shadows in many places. - Fixed the jagged edges in many places. - new KG control stick name plate & weathering. - Enhanced seat (Less Weathering version only) - Enhanced frames of Galland panzer (Less Weathering version only) ※The mapping of this texture is very small, even worse than the canopy screws on Fw-190. I can only enhanced it by using gradient color and hilights. The basic improvement of Bf-109s has been completed, and the models after G-6 will also be improved based on this. The next round of improvement will require more nitpicking and into adjustment of alpha layer. People who use this mod please give me some feedback, it will be very helpful.
