[DCSW: Mi-8MTV2] English Cockpit Mod

Not working for me. I make a copy of MI8MTV-STND-TEXTURES.zip, set it up in JSGME, paste in the replacement textures, and boom! black cockpit with no textures. Of note, the file I'm downloading is 14.8MB, not 15.2. Am I getting the wrong file somehow?

Seems to be the right file and it worked for me at the first try.

 

Are you sure the new files are really correctly in the .zip file? What zip-tool did you use?

nice thanks

Devrim, outstanding work! Just beautiful. Since buying Mi-8 on Friday, I'd gotten used to the Russian text and had been learning it 'native', and was OK with that ... but having just tried your English cockpit, wow, I'm definitely sticking with this version. Really nice job, thank you so much!

 

I am 100% happy with the cockpit as it is right now ... but if you're looking for any suggestions, the ONLY thing I'd like to see different is the small number of switches that are for specific named systems: for example, instead of 'Audio Warn' have VK-53 -- might feel just a bit more authentic that way. But it's a very minor issue.

Windows explorer. 7zip refuses to add files to the textures zip; it says, "operation not supported".

I had the same problem and solved it this way: instead of trying to put the new textures files into the default zip file, instead unzip the default zip to a folder in the \Textures\ folder and then paste the new files into it. DCS will see the unzipped folder and use those files rather than the zipped files.

Works great. I see no errors but I know almost nothing in Russian :). But the red lights work... they shine.

 

I installed it as a JSMGE mod.

 

For people with problems. You don't need to make folders with textures unzipped etc. Why complicate?

 

Create in _Mods folder from DCS World a folder named as you wish to name the mod for Mi-8 cockpit translation.

 

Then inside you need to crate the exact path of folders to the original texture archive. Which is this:

 

\Mods\aircrafts\Mi-8MTV2\Cockpit\Resources\Model\Textures

 

for example this is my path:

 

D:\DCS World\_Mods\Cockpit Translation on Mi-8MTV2 by Devrim\Mods\aircrafts\Mi-8MTV2\Cockpit\Resources\Model\Textures

 

inside the last folder "Textures" copy the original archive MI8MTV-STND-TEXTURES.zip from

 

DCS World\Mods\aircrafts\Mi-8MTV2\Cockpit\Resources\Model\Textures\

 

In the copied archive place the textures from Devrim archive. Obviously with ovewrite.

 

Then install the mod.

Agreed that this would be the easiest method, but as I and seikdel discovered, for whatever reason, the new files refused to copy over the old files inside the zip. I tried many different methods to do that, and it just never worked. So, as a backup method, unzipping the files into a folder works too.

Thank you guys. I'm happy to see that it's worth to do this mod and people are using it.

Thank you.

I checked again. The link seems working. What error do you get?

 

 

...for example, instead of 'Audio Warn' have VK-53 -- might feel just a bit more authentic that way. But it's a very minor issue.

I see. Actually I thought about it. For example, "KO-50" instead of "Combust Heater" or "Transponder" instead of "6201" and etc. But I think this way is more understandable seeing the device name and know what we're enabling or using... I don't know they may be changed...

I zipped just the files I edited. May be I should have uploaded all cockpit files together. But I thought, in this way we had %50 less traffic in internet.

 

Doing these things (installing mods) manual is the best way to management and trace what I'm doing and I have done. I've never used JSGME. So, I'm sorry I hardly get what the problem is. Thanks for friends helping.

This exactly. Also, thanks GregP, I'll give it a shot =)

Great Job Man!

Glad you got it released and thanks again for this useful mod:drink:

Thank you for this, I've been enjoying just memorising where switches are, but I think I'll use this till I'm more familiar with the layout. Looks great.

:beer: Awsome thx for all de hard work :P

Much wanted and appreciated

Tis quite great.

Thought I wanted to stick with the Russian cockpit for atmosphere but your translated version looks GREAT ! Thanks

Thanks a million Devrim, bloody great work mate.

Done, Looks like Mi ISP doenst like that domain... I cant download it and cant see your screenshoots at your first post... Doesnt Matter, a friend download it and sended to me.

 

Thanks!!

 

Excelent Job!

Yeah, I've never had a problem with your other mods. Sadly, this one just does not want to work correctly. Would you mind terribly uploading the entire cockpit zip so I can try that? Thanks =)

 

Edit: The new zip you PMed me worked great! Thanks so much!

Thank you guys, thanks for words and reps. :)

 

Alfredo; I'm sorry to hear that, it must be server I think. it's interesting.

But luckily, it's nice you to get the mod. Thanks. :)

Windows explorer. 7zip refuses to add files to the textures zip; it says, "operation not supported".

Probably it's Internet Explorer. It may rename the name of it. The file must be "zip", not "7zip".

 

And you should extract first in anywhere. Then drag and drop DDS files in to texture zip. Never mind, I sent you another link.

Hi Olivier. :)

Thanks for the gift. :) Take care yourself.

Works perfectly! Thanks so much!

Great Mod ! Thanks

 

Some people were having trouble copying the mod files into the Zip in the ......Textures directory. Sorry if I'm repeating info others may have already posted

 

My usual routine is to Move the folder I want to work with to the Desktop. Then it's easy to copy and modify files etc without interference from the security around Program Folders. When done I just move the folder back to it's home in the original Programs Folder

 

And on a related note, the text on my panels is a bit fuzzy compared to the screen shots at the front of this thread. My Russian text was too for that matter. Screen res is set to my max of 1920 x 1080 on a 24" LCD. Is there something else I should be setting or should I expect fuzzy cockpit text on this screen

Thank you Devrim.
