Modern Head Gear


Blaze

Recommended Posts

The only modernized element of the DCS P-51D will be the pilot 3D model, which is based on a contemporary pilot's flight suit and head gear.

Since you're going this route, will you at least include a boom-mic on the helmet, kind of important for communications methinks...and lower the pilot's visor (or give him the Mudhen-driver's aviators). :)

 

I have a 3D model of a boom mic if you need/want it.

Another little request to do with the helmet;

 

 

Would it be possible to map the Helmet onto the main skin so we can paint it please? I know a lot of people would like to have custom Helmets and the Horsemen also have a helmet design for the team which would look pretty cool when we fly the routine in DCS :)

The helmet is currently able to be painted, looks like it uses the A-10 texture (HGU-55.bmp), but it's only a side map of it, which mirrors on both sides. To properly paint the Horsemen's Helmet they'd have to spherically unwrap it. :(

Is that a realistic possibility? I know with a Sim that offers as much as DCS does, It would be a shame not to be able to have the helmet correctly painted

If I'm correct, looks like the P-51 helmet uses the same texture as the A-10C pilot, which would be this (see 1-sided helmet texture):
