Canopy reflections - Can I turn them off?

Hi,

I actually kinda find them annoying. I prefer the clean look for all aircraft. There doesn't seem to be an option for that.

Any other way I can turn them off?

Will this affect integrity check?

Thx

Anyone?

Hi,

Unless if you're a modder, I think it's impossible :/ I didn't put my head into that but it seems to be the only way to bypass it.

Anyone?

Make the Warthog a convertible. Pop the canopy. Or forget to close it on takeoff... LOL!

Been there, done that.:pilotfly:

Guess the reflections is the realty part of the sim =)

You can simply replace the reflection texture with empty one:

1) Open this ZIP file:

DCS World\Mods\aircrafts\A-10C\Cockpit\Resources\Model\Textures\A_10C_C_EDM_TEX.zip

2) replace the original A-10C-glass-REFLECT.dds file with the one I attached to this post (it's in the zip file - I cannot upload DDS files for some reason). The new texture file is empty transparent 1x1 pixel texture so the original reflection is gone.

Hope it helps.

edit : this is mod for a10c, but you can do this for any aircraft - just replace the glass reflection texture the same way.

edit 2 : Also it might be a good idea to backup the original file in case you want the original glass texture back. This is just something I made on the spot since you asked for it and I thought it might solve your problem.

Thanks, much appreciated.

REMEMBER: "ONLY cool pilots fly with the canopy away!"

mouhahahaha...

Does this gives you some extra fps because of less details of the canopy?

No. The glass reflection is fake - it's not actual real-time reflection of the cockpit - it's just a semi-transparent glass texture. All I did was just cut out a small clear bit and saved it as a new texture file. Sure, you save few MB of video memory I guess but you will not notice any difference in fps at all.

This reminds me of that story :joystick: :)
