FoxTwo Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 The cockpit baked dynamic reflections look good however some materials are reflecting that probably shouldn't be; specifically the door behind the flight engineer's station there's a piece of cloth(?) in the door texture that's reflecting the rest of the cockpit. It's probably easier to just remove that bit of texture rather than model a new layer just for that cloth tbh. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JanRalle Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 (edited) The reflection also stutters and lags sometimes around, at least in VR. Edited April 15, 2021 by JanRalle [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

some1 Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Many parts in the cockpit have wrong texture/material properties, that make them mirror-like in 2.7. Namely the floor, rear cabin wall, sticks, pedals, central console and roof escape hatch.

ED Team NineLine Posted May 25, 2021 ED Team Share Posted May 25, 2021 Hey guys can you give me some screenshots, maybe something has been changed internally but not seeing the same issues. If you are still seeing the issue, show me some examples, please and thank you. 1 Forum Rules • My YouTube • My Discord - NineLine#0440• **How to Report a Bug** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
some1 Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 (edited) Yes, no changes here. It may look okay-ish on a static screenshot, but not great in flight.

Mnemonic Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 (edited) Any update on the issue? Most of the cockpit looks like glass (wall behind the pilot, the floor, sides of the central pedestal, cyclic stick), should be possible to just make them matt again?

Docsnuggles Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 (edited) the mid-down-console reflects on the sides the upper instruments. whoever did this reflections (in nearly all modules) should fix it.

Rifter Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 (edited) It's basically the same issue as with the shiny Huey fuselage textures: Removing certain materials from the file cockpit_mi-8mt.edm.json partially solves the reflections. Example: Shiny floor can be solved by deleting the marked file entry: Shiny appearance of pedals and other parts cannot be solved by editing the file though.

Yea, still would be nice if ED managed to fix this, if they can't fix the bugs on older modules it would be nice if they at least managed to fix the stuff they break later with their updates.

Rifter Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 (edited) For some reason ED has an inhibition to touch the old Belsimtek helicopter moduls (geometry and texture wise). Several graphics/lightning issues are pending for years now. At some point I developed the delusional idea that ED has suffered from a data loss in the past and is not able to access their original 3dsmax data anymore and is therefore stuck with the old .edm files and is forced to solve all graphics issues as laborious workarounds in the core program.

some1 Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 The problem here is with bad roughness maps. Everything painted black on the roughness map with have a glass finish in DCS. And there's a lot of stuff with black rouhness map in the Mi-8. 3 Hardware: VPForce Rhino, FSSB R3 Ultra, Virpil T-50CM, Hotas Warthog, Winwing F15EX, Slaw Rudder, GVL224 Trio Throttle, Thrustmaster MFDs, Saitek Trim wheel, Trackir 5, Quest Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

some1 Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 No idea.

Rmnsvn Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 @BIGNEWY @NineLine any news on this issue? When can we expect a fix? The cockpit is ridiculously shiny and it’s been more than a year since it was reported. thanks in advance! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only drawback I'm seeing is it makes letters on the central panel barely visible when they're covered by any shadow. Other than that, however, it's a workaround for us.

(But are there any reflections left? I can't say I'm seeing any on the instrument glass or the canopy interior.) Just checked again and I also see the cyclic grip has lost its shine. I actually liked the reflections on that, as they were plausible on shiny hard plastic. And yes, there doesn't appear to be any reflections at all in the Mi-8 cockpit now. Not on the dials, not on the canopy glass, nothing! I guess that's one way to fix it. Take us back to 2021! LOL! Edited April 10 by SMH 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger-II Posted Friday at 03:00 PM Share Posted Friday at 03:00 PM I noticed all reflections disappeared, too. A bit of an extreme over-reaction to the problem.
