kendo Posted December 29, 2020 Posted December 29, 2020 I was actually really impressed with the Ju-52 when I tried the 4k a few months ago - seemed like a big improvement over the stock cockpit.

On my 48" LG Oled the sim now even challenges the incredible DCS World study-sim cockpits. (I only wish I had a PIMAX 8K VR headset ... even an HP Reverb G2) Are you + the IL-2 Dev team going to introduce all future FC 2, 3 and BoN cockpits with the same 4K detail level (I sure hope so) !??? Thank you so much !
Luger1969 Posted December 29, 2020 Posted December 29, 2020 (edited) Thank you Oyster. Great work. And appreciated. Afterall you dont fly an aircraft by sitting on the wingtip. The looks of the office is important! Edited December 29, 2020 by Luger1969 1

Vishnu Posted January 30, 2021 Posted January 30, 2021 Does this mod in any way affect VR? Is it clearer in VR or stay the same. I'm new ... just curious.

FTC_ChilliBalls Posted February 24, 2021 Posted February 24, 2021 @Oyster_KAI Not to diminish your accomplishents, because they are, as so many have rightly pointed out, astonishingly awesome, but would it be possible to go even further? To make it clear with what I mean, let´s take the FW 190 series as examples. All Fw 190 Antons are based on the original FW 190 A3 premium from the original Battle of Stalingrad module. The FW 190 D9 on the other hand not only looks more detailed but als plainly better. I´m not sure what the difference is, but wouldn´t it be possible to do the same thing with mesh of the Antons as has been done with the Dora?
Oyster_KAI Posted February 24, 2021 Author Posted February 24, 2021 @So_ein_Feuerball Hi, There is a difference in texture design between Dora and Anton. The advantage of D9 is because it has a better texture matching design and the model itself has more polygons. Reorganize, redraw, upscale, test, study the details and confirm the historical correctness, and verify the materials and colors. These have taken me a considerable amount of time, and I don’t have more time to stack up to achieve greater results unless I become an employee of 1CGS. 3 3

Clearly, you have done an amazing job increasing the detail of cockpits. I hope one day every plane have the same standard and not leaving the old ones on the dust... 1 2

I sometimes wonder if the D9 cockpit was done as an experiment to test out effects of improved quality on fps, etc, etc. Or whether it was just that the graphical artist responsible is more gifted and skilled than the rest? I suspect the same guy did the Hurricane as it is a cut above as well.

The welding texture of this support rod texture have a mapping erorr, needs to be fixed when devs have time. There are some texture and model errors to be repaired in 109s cockpit, which are already in devs' task pool. Please wait patiently. Edited May 12, 2021 by Oyster_KAI 1 3 1

Jeroen83 Posted March 28, 2022 Posted March 28, 2022 Oyster: thanks for your lasting efforts to improve this game. Do you think it would be possible to add bumpmaps and specular maps to planes that lack them? Difference is most notably seen in Fw190 A vs D. The latter has bump and specular mapping which looks great. 1

I don't think Devs have time to do that.
