simfan2015 Posted April 25, 2020 Posted April 25, 2020 The speed with which you were apparantly able to produce these upgrades is amazing. For these cockpit upgrades and other people's custom 4K skins make IL-2 in an even better sim. It all makes that that other (un-named ?) sim gets less and less of my free time (a shame really, cause I love that one too) !

Pollux Posted April 26, 2020 Posted April 26, 2020 Thank you for your work. Unfortunately, I can't install it properly with JSGME. Could you indicate the method in the main post ?
Danziger Posted April 26, 2020 Posted April 26, 2020 They were saying something on the Russian forum about something not being right in the Yak cockpits. I think it may be the seat padding? I'm not sure just using the translator. However, there was something about the series 69 being incorrect.

This is how i did: 1,Download file 4K cockpits BOS-20200419T112647Z-001 (example) 2, Unzip downloaded file (i have 7 Zip) 3, You see folder 4K Cockpits BOBP 4, Here are different ac zipped. K-4, G-14....P51D15 5, Unzip them too 6, Now you have this folder P51D15 (example only for one aircraft, but you know there are 9 other) 7, Inside this folder you have a "data" folder 8, Cut out this "data" folder and put it back into "4K Cockpits BOBP" folder This is what you see now 4K Cockpits BOBP\data\graphics\Planes\P51D15\Textures 9, Do this with all files. 10, Delete all aircraft folder P51D15 (example for one) , these folders must be empty now because you cut out "data" folder 11, Put your 4K Cockpits BOBP folder into you mods folder and activate it. I know its a little bit of work, but so you can activate the whole folder instead of activating all aircraft seperately Fell free to ask me, if there is any trouble.

SCG_motoadve Posted April 26, 2020 Posted April 26, 2020 Am I the only one not seeing a difference? I download them individually , placed them in the Mods folder and then activate. Honestly cant see a difference, is there an obvious cockpit file like the 109 which is very different or with newer factory interior to download to see the difference?

Maybe take a before and after screenshot and see what you see. If you don't see anything, then at least you know it's just a bad install.

I’m not sure if that is needed to be done, just a thought.

If your VR gig has seriously screen-door effect, it might be not very effective, it depends on your VR IMO.

ICDP Posted April 26, 2020 Posted April 26, 2020 These 4K cockpits do make a difference but they are much more subtle than the 2K to 4K increase for external skins. This is down the the fact that the textures on externals are covering a much larger surface area than a cockpit. Keep up the good work Oyster_KAI.
simfan2015 Posted April 26, 2020 Posted April 26, 2020 On a large 4K monitor the difference is more than obvious! No question there whatsoever... Epic! 2
Yankee_One Posted April 27, 2020 Posted April 27, 2020 (edited) For me its definitely working. If you zoom in, the old 4k has a kind of "white shadow" on the first letter, the new one has none. Its a little bit crisper for me. My settings for my monitor are 2560*1440. Note, that after every update the old files has to be replaced or overwritten! (most of us know that, only for pointing it out) Edited April 27, 2020 by Yankee_One
PrimusZerlina Posted April 27, 2020 Posted April 27, 2020 (edited) It took some time to review all this 4k cockpits and here are my observations. I can see difference on my 1920x1080 hd monitor and in HP Reverb HMD. This mod is removing obvious pixelation on instruments , markings and chipping paint surfaces on panels, seat pans, gun sights etc .It is easy to see when you zoom in. Furthermore it increases contrast and make cockpit overall image crispier. This benefits specially in VR having impression of bumping to higher super sampling resolution without cost on performance. I have noticed though some textures are very outdated and can be improved like that fw-190 canopy metal frame or some leather textures. I know we have no PBR textures yet implemented and that would definitely help. Gauges can be improved further by adding internal 3d deepness and glass visibility like I have noticed in Dora cockpit. Well done Oyster_Kay and keep on going ? Edited April 27, 2020 by PrimusZerlina 1

blue_max Posted April 28, 2020 Posted April 28, 2020 Hi Oyster, the improvements look good, but I also think that at least some weathering on the planes is nice to have, since it is a war after al! So... perhaps not overdo it and remove too much of the weathering 4

Aircraft on the front line would have taken one hell of a beating inside and out. I think a ltttle higher level of weathering is more desirable but I suppose it's down to personal choice. 1
Nadelbaum Posted April 28, 2020 Posted April 28, 2020 I also second the previous opinions. I like the feeling that weathered cockpits give you. If it is not too much of work for you then I'd prefer the option to select one or the other, just like you have already provided for Hs129 (scratchless and "original"). Thumbs up for the excellent work! 1

Aircraft on the front line would have taken one hell of a beating inside and out. I think a ltttle higher level of weathering is more desirable but I suppose it's down to personal choice. I really like the new look. These aircraft were used, but they actually had very short service lives and were well looked after by competent ground crews, so they should look worn but not too beaten up. The original Bf-109 textures make it look like the aircraft had spent many years at the bottom of a lake. I think the level of wear on the Soviet aircraft cockpits or the Fw-190 cockpits is much more believable than the rather cartoonish battering inflicted on the poor old original 109. For example, the IL2 Dora-9 is nicely done in comparison. I used to own a glider that was 35 years old when I bought it. It had previously been owned by a university gliding club so it had had very heavy use indeed. It was still much less worn than the default IL2 109 textures. 1 2

I agree that the original 109 cockpits are a little too weathered even for my tastes but the Dora cockpit is almost perfect (for me) I would even say that it's probably the best rendition of a WWII cockpit in any sim to date. However, I'm sure others would disagree. 2 2
kendo Posted April 28, 2020 Posted April 28, 2020 (edited) Yeah. The Dora is probably my favourite cockpit in the whole game. Seemed to take a huge leap forward in quality with that one. (though I think the US aircraft in BOBP are very good too) I've tried both versions of the 109s now - clean and weathered. Each has something i like. Not sure I have a preference overall, though have left the clean variant activated in game for now. Nice to have both I suppose. Edited April 28, 2020 by kendo 1 1
blue_max Posted April 28, 2020 Posted April 28, 2020 I would say, I prefer the cockpits with less weathering, just a tad more weathering than some of the bits that Oyster was showing. But less weathering than the original textures is definitely in order!
=gRiJ=Roman- Posted April 28, 2020 Posted April 28, 2020 I like the possibility of having both and being able to choose the same way as you choose a skin. It open new ways in careers, etc

Yes, and the thing is that there are areas of weathering on the older cockpits that just wouldn't be there in reality. There are certain areas that should have a lot of weathering (such as handles, levers, and floorboards) and there are others that shouldn't show a lot of abuse. 3

In defense of the game, I think the 109 cockpit textures probably were produced in 2013 or thereabouts. Our expectations and our computer hardware have both risen significantly since then 1

Our expectations and our computer hardware have both risen significantly since then agree, sadly all 109 G models are based on the G2, therefore just won´t ever be as good looking as newer models like the D9. You can see perfectly well how much the dev team have increased their skill when comparing the 190 A8 to the D9. One is based on an old model, the other is completely new.
