Are you tired of flying the Su-25T looking as if it has just came out of an abandoned museum? Worry no more, this cockpit livery will revitalize it... just slightly... to look a bit nicer to the eyes.
English version of my "Slightly nicer cockpit for Su-25T".
For this translation I used as reference other modules and their manuals (specially the Ka-50), an old Check-Six quick guide in french of the Su-25A cockpit, and a lot of searching through Russian websites and forums.
Still, there were a few things I managed to find absolutely nothing on, and had to take guesses. And even those I found something I might have taken the wrong interpretation. If you find incorrect or better translations for something, leave a comment here or in the thread (
https://forum.dcs.world/topic/339584-an-attempt-to-improve-and-translate-the-su-25t-cockpit) and I will take a look and possibly update it.
Changes 23/02/2024:
- DCS update 2.9.3 made everything look way darker. Adjusted textures brightness and contrast to compensate.
- Some typos and missing translation fixed.
- Making use of some new textures added with 2.9.3, like headrest and HUD. Although most of the cockpit still use pre-2.9.3 textures (I prefer the turquoise and I'm not bothering translating all over again on top of the new ones... yet).
- The update 2.9.3 adjusted Shkval texture, so there is no need anymore for a "Slightly nicer Shkval".
Changes:
- Included a table with all Caucasus airfield ID's on the right side;
- Paint peeling and rust removed from many places;
- Fixed warning lights spill through texture;
- Added my tweak to the Shkval, that not only make it look nicer, but also gets slightly better image contrast in many situations.
- Changed color tone on some parts to better resemble reference pictures of the real life aircraft.
- Mipmaps were removed to allow nice looking textures at Low settings (with negligible vram costs);
Instalation:
- Unpack the "Liveries" folder into C:\Users\Name\Saved Games\DCS
- Select the livery under the Special tab on the game settings.
This mod is part of my efforts to improve visuals on the FC3 aircraft. Feel free to improve over my work and/or use it in your own projects.
