zaelu Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Looking great! :beer: Don't forget to make enough MIPs (if you use DDS files) so the edges and text won't flicker when viewed from normal FOV (wider).

toby23 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Looks great Devrim. The only thing a label printer would do in real life is keep the spacing between the letters the same, when possible, especially for the titles of each set of switches. If you correct that, I'll download this too, seeing as how I now own the Mi8 thanks to the sale! If you need help with mipmaps ask me or zaelu.

Gate-5 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Very nice, thanks a lot. So now I know what system im switching on instead of just remembering the position of the switch :thumbup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flagrum Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 I want to be sure if I understand. You mean, like the labels right side in the last image? Now I am not sure if I understand ... :o) What I mean is, replacing the russian-style greenish-blue paint with a western-style grey paint (black might be a bit too dark as the "metal sheets" (is there a better word?) with the text printed on are already black).

Flagrum Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 (edited) keep the spacing between the letters the same, when possible, especially for the titles of each set of switches. Do you mean "ANTI ICING SYSTEM" instead of "A N T I__I C I N G__S Y S T E M" (see first pic & ignore my underscores - forum sw reduces multiple spaces)? But that wider spacing is also used in the original cyrillic labels. Edited September 20, 2013 by Flagrum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devrim Posted September 20, 2013 Author Share Posted September 20, 2013 Thanks so much friends. *** Yes - I'm aware of it; DDS files include mip-maps. It seems OK here while moving in the cockpit. Thanks Toby; If what you mean is what Flagrum said, then I can say that, I place the labels on the original ones, and try to fit as possible as I can. If some words seem too stretched, I narrow it for better looking.

If some words seem too stretched, I narrow it for better looking. Hey Devrim, Have a look here, this is the only photo that I could find of an english labelled mi8/17 cockpit. Compare the APU STARTING label for example. I guess Belsimtek's texture artist didn't try to make it 1:1 like the original. I can't see this spacing either on the original Russian Mil Mi-8 here and here. It's entirely possible that the model that they photographed was labelled differently but we'll never know unless they post some cockpit photos. Your mod looks great but I'm a real life pilot (PPL) and the spacing would make it harder for me to find what I need quickly in the cockpit, using latin letters. For sure, as a pilot, you know what all the switches do but your brain recognises certain patterns of letters and groups of letters unconciously.

Skulleader Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Hello everybody, Hello dear Devrim how are you ? I would like to tell you that you are a real ARTIST !!! I'm a great fan of your work and your Mods, now this future cockpit in English is incredible. The Russian version is very cool but it's very hard to read the Russian language, with your English version everything seem more easy and understandable... Dear Devrim I would like to thank you for your great effort and your talent. Bye my friend and best regards, Skull.
