Eee3 73 Posted September 16, 2020 (edited) Hi All, here the MOD of LAGG-3 and La-5 cockpits retextured in 4K quality. All textures repainted from scratch. Some elements (mostly instrumets) have been modified for more historical accuracy JSGME friendly https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Ml7N1diM50XQNv59YFcH_fy2_HSFUnAx/view?usp=sharing Some screenshots: Edited October 22, 2020 by Eee3 9 5 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Atomic_Spaniel 90 Posted September 16, 2020 Looks very nice! If you modify the instruments does it effect other aircraft? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eee3 73 Posted September 17, 2020 Yes, Il-2 (all), Yak-1, Pe-2 ser.87 and La-5 will be affected because they use shared texture. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ala13_UnopaUno_VR 414 Posted September 25, 2020 (edited) Very very good, I have tested it with VR and it is appreciated to be able to read the indicators, and the details! Hopefully in the future all the cockpits will be 4k, without having to use MODS: D Edited September 25, 2020 by Ala13_UnopaUno_VR Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oyster_KAI 1412 Posted September 25, 2020 (edited) Very detailed remake It must have taken a lot of time and effort. Do you have the next plan? Edited September 25, 2020 by Oyster_KAI Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

simfan2015 189 Posted September 27, 2020 I have tested this mod that was put/copied over Oyster_KAI's enhanced cockpits. Works out great, amazing ! Amazing !!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanadaOne 1933 Posted September 28, 2020 Pardon my being a bear of very little brain, but when I unzip the file I get a "data" file and two more files inside that, which file goes into the mod folder in the game? Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
simfan2015 189 Posted September 28, 2020 (edited) (FWIW what I did ...) If you unzip the archive then the Directory structure should be maintained. The exact same structure is present in the IL-2 GB installation. the files in the 'planes/your-plane' and 'textures/common' directories must be copied and may be replaced if already present. A backup prior to this operation may be adviseable (in the very unlikely case you don't like the replacements). However, if you have already use it you could also have the JSGME utility make these changes ! DO NOT FORGET : MODS ON These IL-2 GB 4K cockpits are awesome ! Good Luck Edited September 28, 2020 by simfan2015 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To use mods you must first agree that you want to use mods but also the server settings must also allow Mods to be used by the players. That is for Online servers really so players do not make transparent skins etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Foo Fighters that were supposedly seen in the course of WWII ... by both the Allies as well as the Axxis ... !

blue_max 129 Posted October 19, 2020 Beautiful work! I've been using Oyster's 4k upscaling mod until now. How do the two compare? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eee3 73 Posted October 19, 2020 These mods uses different techniques. Hand repaint is very time consuming, but provide better result. Besides, additional time is needed to search for info, to make some parts more historical accuracy. For example here is comparison image of water temperature indicator (original, modded and real instrument). 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blue_max 129 Posted October 20, 2020 Ah, I see. Amazing work! Then I'll use Oyster's mod for all the cockpits, and then use your beautiful repaints for the lagg-3 and la-5. Keep up the great work! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hebog5 9 Posted October 21, 2020 Great work, thank you. Have enabled through JSGME but nothing has changed. I must have missed understood something but have no idea what. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hebog5 9 Posted October 22, 2020 Thank you Eee3. I have put folder [data[ in JSGME and enabled ok, but nothing changes. Mods are enabled in game as I use PWCG and great mods by some others too. Your work looks so realistic it would be a shame not to have it. I will try putting extracted archive into game folder, when I have worked out exactly how to do that!

yeikov 78 Posted October 22, 2020 (edited) 37 minutes ago, hebog5 said: I have put folder [data[ in JSGME and enabled ok, but nothing changes. For JSGME you need to create a folder for the mod (with the mod name you like) under your JSGME MODS folder. 'data' must go inside that new folder, so the final folder structure looks like this: [game folder] > MODS > [theModNameYouLike] > data > ... If you directly put 'data' in the MODS folder you will have a mod called 'data' in JSGME, and it will not work. Edited October 22, 2020 by yeikov Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hebog5 9 Posted October 22, 2020 (edited) You did it! Thank you very much for taking time to help. The work is terrific. Sorry, one question, will the new download [with LA-5] over ride the original or must I delete and put in new named folder? Thank you. OK, got it now, just replaced, Great.

I do hope you keep on going for other planes. Pity if you just did stay to only two plane models. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

blue_max 129 Posted November 2, 2020 (edited) The La-5fn would be awesome to be honest, if I fly La, I always fly 5fn PS: the cockpit looks amazing in VR! Such a step up. I spent half an hour doing touch and go's, just to admire your work without distractions of enemy aircraft. Edited November 2, 2020 by blue_max 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

blue_max 129 Posted November 3, 2020 is it the Ju-52? 😛 That old lady is in desperate need of better cockpit textures. 8k even, just going by how much surface area there is t cover and how crappy it looks now compared to these 4k texture mods! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
