Description

The Su33 has VERY shiny cockpit instrument reflections.  They may be realistic but I 
find them completely distracting.  The file I alter to change this is su33_glass_prib_refl.dds
found in ($DCS Home)/Mods/aircraft/Su-33/Cockpit/Textures/SU-33-CPT-TEXTURES.zip.  
I've included 4 new versions of this file with varying degrees of reduced reflection in addition
to the original production file:

su33_glass_prib_refl_full.dds = the current production file 
su33_glass_prib_refl_half.dds = the current production file with reflection roughly cut by half
su33_glass_prib_refl_quarter.dds = the current production file with reflection roughly cut by a quarter
su33_glass_prib_refl_eighth.dds = the current production file with reflection roughly cut by an eighth 
su33_glass_prib_refl_none.dds = the current production file with reflection completely removed

For anyone who wants to alter these yourself, I found they were transparent files and if using
Gimp, save them as non compressed dds, with mipmaps enabled.  Do not save them as *.psd and
run them through DXTBmp, they will become opaque and completely block out your instruments :-)

Installation

There are 2 options here.  The most simple is if you're already using a custom Su-33 cockpit and 
can alter a local directory.  The cool thing about that is you can create a custom cockpit directory
for each level of reflection file I provided and switch between them in DCS.  The complex one is if 
you're using the default cockpit only and have to replace a production level file.

--Custom Su-33 Cockpit Users--

I'll use the very popular Devrim English Gray Su-33 cockpit installation as an example.  You should have a 
local directory named $users/$name/Saved Games/DCS/Liveries/Cockpit_Su-33/English Gray.

Simply choose which of the reflection files I provided you want to use.

Installation

1)  Backup the current /$users/$name/Saved Games/DCS/Liveries/Cockpit_Su-33/English Gray/su33_glass_prib_refl.dds file.
2)  Replace this file with whichever of the reflection files I provided that you want to use.
3)  Edit the description.lua in this directory (with Notepad++) and add the following line:
	{"su33_glass_prib", DIFFUSE, "su33_glass_prib_refl", false};
4)  Startup DCS and select this cockpit

Removal

1)  Simply remove the line you added to description.lua
2)  Delete the custom su33_glass_prib_refl you put in the directory and move the original back
	
--Default Su-33 Cockpit Users--

If you don't use any custom Su-33 cockpits, you would extract, rebuild and 
replace the SU-33-CPT-TEXTURES.zip file in the production location.  Note this means the new
reflection will be in effect for every Su33 cockpit you may select and will likely be removed on the next DCS update.

Installation 

1) Make a backup of the production SU-33-CPT-TEXTURES.zip before beginning - Important!
2) Unzip the production SU-33-CPT-TEXTURES.zip to a directory outside the production area
3) Rename the provided su33_glass_prib_refl_[half][quarter][eighth][none].dds version you want 
	to use as su33_glass_prib_refl.dds
4) Replace the su33_glass_prib_refl.dds, with your version
5) Create a new SU-33-CPT-TEXTURES.zip
6) Place it in ($DCS Home)/Mods/aircraft/Su-33/Cockpit/Textures/
7) Start DCS and enjoy your new low reflection Su33 cockpit!

Removal

1) Go to the production directory ($DCS Home)/Mods/aircraft/Su-33/Cockpit/Textures/
2) Verify you made a backup of the original production SU-33-CPT-TEXTURES.zip
	a) If not, do not continue!
	b) Rebuild the SU-33-CPT-TEXTURES.zip with su33_glass_prib_refl_full.dds
3) Remove SU-33-CPT-TEXTURES.zip
4) Rename the original production backup you made to SU-33-CPT-TEXTURES.zip

Warning

Any DCS repair or update could change/improve this new SU-33-CPT-TEXTURES.zip.  Because 
of that, I'm not providing altered SU-33-CPT-TEXTURES.zip files as any updates to the Su33 
cockpit would leave you with an outdated version.  It's better for you to learn to make the 
change so you'll always begin with the current production version of SU-33-CPT-TEXTURES.zip.
