That's quite a lot of file size for a "quick" fix.

 

I believe all the other 67 files that don't affect the HUD glass could be removed.

 

Yep, you can delete them if you are unhappy with the size, i just didn'T have the time to clean it up cuz i was in a hurry to leave home for work and wanted to share the MOD with the few people asking for it today. But i presume they are happy for now. Take in mind i shared something i'Ve made for myself to help, i didn't do this to share at first. A simple Thank You would have do the thing man. :)

So for all of you guys that find the size too big, unpack the .zip, and only keep the « f18c_cpt-glass_dif.dds » and « f18c_cpt-glass_hud.dds »

 

 

thanks buddy!

The Best way to change this to work w/ Minimal impact would be to:

A. Create a Custom Cockpit Livery

B. Place New DDS File for Hud Glass in it.

C. Create the description.lua

D. Place in /Saved Games/DCS/Liveries/Cockpit_F-18C/Clean HUD/

E. Open DCS, Goto Options, Special, Click on F-18C, Under Custom Livery Choose Clean HUD.

Just wanted to leave this as an advice to reduce file size and download time.

 

Placing these two files into a file folder should get this to work with OVGME or JSGME right away.

 

 

LAst time i tried when i mad eit, didn'T worked if, outside the .zip texture file. The reason why i made the entire .zip. When it comes to cockpit livery, i'm not used to, i most of the time just do lvieries stuff but not for the cockpit.

There isnt one, New one must be generated for anything but default cockpit livery.

Well seems there is something i am not doing right Skatezilla, i am able to select the HUD in the sepcial menu, but the texture doesn't load in game, still loads the defaults.

 

 

Both my description.lua and my texture are in this folder/location.

 

 

C:\Users\...\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Liveries\Cockpit_F-18C\Softer_Tinted_HUD\

Did you Launch DCS, Goto Options, Special Tab, Click on F/A-18C Icon, then Choose from the Drop Down Menu?

The 2 DDS i modified are:

 

 

f18c_cpt-glass_dif (which i renamed f18c_cpt-glass_Softer_dif)

f18c_cpt-glass_hud (which i renamed f18c_cpt-glass_Softer_hud)

 

 

And this is my description.lua active info for these two files.

 

 

livery = {
   {"F-18C-mirror", 0 ,"mirrors",true};--mirrors texture replacement with runtime rendered one
   {"f18c_cpt-hudl", 14, "f18c_cpt-glass_Softer_dif", false};
   {"f18c_cpt-glass_full", 14, "f18c_cpt-glass_Softer_dif", false};
   {"f18c_cpt-glass_hud_edge", 0, "f18c_cpt-glass_Softer_hud", false};
}

Yeah. just found out while doing a test, even in teh Game Folder it wasn'T working, only way it is, it's to create my mod, but droping stuff in the default cockpit from the dropdown menu, in other workds:

 

 

G:\Games\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\FA-18C\Liveries\Cockpit_F-18C\default

 

 

Dunno if it'll work if i do it in Saved Game, but with defaults for now as well.

There you go Skatezilla, found a work around, also works in Saved Game as you showed me, but only if, you name the lievery Default as well, so when you go in Options, Special Tab, Click on F/A-18C Icon, then Choose from the Drop Down Menu, you will have two Default skin, you take the second one which is the one created in Saved Game.. but you change the name to something else and it won't load the textures.

All right guys, here's my updated mod, thanks to Skatezilla to point me in a direction to make this more efficient and smaller file size. File is being updated.

 

 

 

https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3301130/

 

 

 

TO INSTALL: File structure made for OVGME, point the files in your DCS Saved Game folder. Files need to be installed in:

...\Saved Games\DCS\Liveries\

 

TO LOAD THE MOD: go in Options, Special Tab, Click on F/A-18C Icon, then Choose from the Drop Down Menu, you will have two Default Cockpit lievery in the list, due to a bug it won't be working if another name then Default is being used for now, simply select the second one which is the created/loaded in Saved Game.

Better yet... Skate, why don't you pass the word along to the 'higher-ups' to change the HUD tint so the mods can be put to rest? :)

 

Because the Tint is authentic.

 

I can physically verify this, as well as all the Hornet SMEs

Don't take me wrong man, it's by far my favortite DCS module ever and, any flight Sim aircraft i'Ve flown aince F-15 Strike Eagle on my old 486. And not too often i do get to hate something on a module i usualy bear with it. But the HUD has my head scratching. So if you can, yes, please do verify physically, because no matter the pictures i find on the net, all Hornet's HUD look half less tinted at least not that dark purpleish effect.

 

 

 

Because doesn't make sens to zoom in the HUD to see stuff being blocked by the darkness of the HUD. I cannot argue DCS versus the real thing besides pictures as, unfortunetaly i cannot remember the only time i sat in a Hornet was in 2015 and the HUD was not turned on, so i didn'T look through it as i was more busy looking at the panels and stuff around :) though i rememeber when i was in the CC-177 Globemaster III a few hours before and the HUD was runing this time, i know it' a F-15 HUD, but still wasn't that dark at all when i'm looking at the picture i took in the cockpit.

 

 

 

Actualy 3 pictures i've found was darker and all 3 taken from the same moment which is a bit dark but not as much as DCS, most of them are not and i made a search for « hornet cockpit view » and « f-18 HUD » as Google Search if you wanna see what i see, you can clearly see most of them are way less dark, specialy the ones from point of view on the side of the pilots head. In other words, if it'd be that dark in RL, all pictures we'd Googled would be that dark, i can't explain why 95% of them are not as dark as this if it's supposed to be that dark, and we can slightly see the tint or the reflection of the projector glass module horizontal to the HUD's glass, but no way close to that weird purple color we got now.

 

In real life the sun light or light source could be affecting it, but in DCS, it's ALWAYS dark , no matter where you look or where the sun is coming from, i rather have it a bit less realistic like i do with my mod, then being unable to properly fly a $ 60 module i paid for. If all most of us needs to zoom in VR or zoom in in Non-VR too see properly targets and stuff through the HUD, the realism barrier already being breached as they don't zoom in real life too see by leaning over their eyes 1 inch from the HUD as close as their HUD Cam is, which is i am sure, lots of us do now. Got to remember in DCS vs RL, it deals with hundreeds of diffrent minitor screens and 2 major VR headsets all this based on a few of people making the effect and how their monitor was set, the room ambient lights etc...

 

 

 

I leave you on this thought, we already have issue too see as is, let's try to imagine with Sun Visor being down as well. Or is it always down without us knowing it?

 

 

Anyways, your comments, advise and help are always appreciated, you're a good Adition to the DCS community. :)
