Grajo Posted September 5, 2018 Author Share Posted September 5, 2018 Hi, Use the zip I uploaded for you and put it INSTEAD of the original. Use uploaded one no original one. There is no way that this can not work, as the game is going to read the textures from that zip file. This is the way is looking right now for me using exactly the same file. (just downloaded it and replaced to be sure that it was working) Sorry, but I can do nothing else to help by now matte. Is it working this way for anybody else? It should. Some feedback will be appreciated, just in case :]. Thanks Link to my MODs - So far... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petsild Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Cheers for the help mate but still no joy. I've done a direct replacement as you suggest with the original game zip folder in the DCS folder but no joy. I also tried replacing your mod through my mods folder in Saved Games but no joy there either. The gun reticle works mind you so thats good. I also tried another similar mod by Toby with the same results. Just so I'm not going insane, can you clarify that the attached pic is that of the original glass please. Delete the two directories path: C:\Users\xxxx\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta - fxo - metashaders2 You have in the folder x:\Games\DCS World 2.5\Mods\aircraft\SpitfireLFMkIX\Cockpit\Textures\ only file Cockpit_Spitfire_LFMkIX_Textures.zip?

mr_mojo97 Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 (edited) SUCCESS!!!!!! No idea what I had done!! I should probably leave computers well alone from now on. Cheers chums I owe you one @Petsild - it’s entirely possible that last night I just had a massive brain fart with the amount of files and folders open. Although why I couldn’t get it to work when I first tried today as anyone’s guess seen as I tried exactly the same thing again and it worked! Anyhow, it works and I’m happy and appreciate all the help.

ams999 Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Has anyone found the right syntax for the description.lua yet so one could use the files from the saved games folder?

ams999 Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 No it doesn't for the Spitfire but it works for other modules given the correct description.lua in a cockpit_module folder (e.g. SavedGames/DCSworld/Liveries/Cockpit_P-51D/) I hope somebody finds/exports a newer description.lua so we can make it work (the extractor always crashes for me).

312_JS Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Why have you kept the vertical lines extending into the circle? Even looking at your references you can see that it's not correct. :) By the way, here's one I made more than a year ago. https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=184181 https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/2448553/ PS: I'm also the author of the modded reticle on the UK aircrafts in the original Il2 Sturmovik. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grajo Posted October 2, 2018 Author Share Posted October 2, 2018 I have tried to improve the vanilla reticle using some references. Never said that this was a realistic or authentic mod, just looks better, at least that is my opinion. You have a point about the vertical lines, if other people want to get rid of them I might consider removing the intersection. I tried your Spitfire reticle mod a long time ago, and I did not like it. That is the reason I tried to do my own.:) Link to my MODs - So far...

petsild Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 I know that there are two mods gunsight reticle. Create the real form is very hard and I appreciate :thumbup: the work of both creators. Personally, I prefer from Grajo, which is visually dynamic even though it has extra vertical lines.
