This mod is aimed at fixing stuff that bothers me in the F-15C cockpit. Making it a little bit prettier and more usable.
Instalation:
- Unpack the "Liveries" folder into C:\Users\Name\Saved Games\DCS
- Sel ect the livery under the Special tab on the game settings.
The stuff includes:
- Changes to the HUD glass. This pack include 3 options: The original, for those who want it; A complete clean transparent one, because I normally play in VR and the streaming compression frequently screw you more than the sky outshining the HUD symbols; And the last is a copy of the Sukhoi orange filter, for those who really hate the Sun getting in the way.
- Removing all the randomly placed scratches and paint peeling. The vast majority of these make no sense and not even abandoned museum pieces have it.
- Improving readability of some instruments because they were originally made fr om very poorly taken pictures. Like the RWR white smudges and the Fire Panel’s lights distorted textures.
- Adjusting the brightness of the pilot seat because it would cast a nerve-racking reflection on instruments. Which for me not only hinders gameplay, but also doesn’t make sense as in real life you would have a not-as-bright pilot body in between the seat and the instruments.
- Added normal map for all the side panel screws. This was only possible with the recent update ED made for the Flaming Cliffs aircraft. The side panels used to look terribly ugly, with a weird metal reflection that made it almost white. ED fixed that, and added normal maps to give some nice shininess to the edges. But they didn’t took this chance to improve the ugly 2D screws, which always bothered me specially in VR. With normal maps it now reacts to light producing some shadows and give a sense of bumpiness.
- Fix for the Beacon light, which was barely visible in the dark, let alone in daylight.
Update 02/11/2025:
- Forgot to add the "brush" texture in the throttle rails I made sometime ago as a test. It is not the finest work, but it is better than plain black textures.
- A few tweaks to the stick's color
