If you put it on a branch then you'll not mess anything up, and the compiler lets you know if there's any problems. Although, just because it compiles, doesn't mean it'll work.

I'm still learning a lot about how this all works as well. Even just this morning I learned a few things about how the lightwave scenes should work.

That's something I also have to learn, only worked at the models themselves until now.

I'm even happy if it compiles! Had a lot of - experiences the last time

Hiya. Do you have higher resolution textures for the cockpit? I need to create textures for each of the lamps, but the ones in the cockpit at the moment are pretty low Res. I don't mind making them from scratch if I need to.

Thealx did nice buttons for mi24 gunner.

it was not usual, and very complicated way, so I can't recommend it for this modification.

I'll be doing it the way that the hokum does it, using texture animation. Just need to figure out how that works first

I mean only texture,not whole button.

Sorry wasn't at home at the weekend. Have just right now seen your message. I have a new version of this cockpit, but only a few things have changed. Reworked the gauges a bit and made a new "Night Lightning" to fit the old used orange night-needles a bit better, but now we have white 3D needles so the lightning had to be reworked again.

I haven't worked any longer on this pit, cause I wanted to make a reworked blue MI-28A version (based on the original pit) and a complete new modernized black ones with reworked 3D and gunner pit which then should look like the original cockpit of the MI-28N (if I'm able to do so ).

Here's the link to the last black textures only version I made (no highres light's, I never changed anything here cause the original used extra textures for "lights-on" state which couldn't be changed the easy way and I thought on and off should look the same)

Funny you should mention the MI-28a, I was looking for some reference photos of the cockpit, and found this...

The cockpit instruments aren't like the current ones. I'm not sure how much like the real thing it is.

I did plan on making a new 3D Havoc cockpit when I'd finished my Blackhawk, including the gunner.

Hm I think the FS cockpit is wrong. Razorwork's cockpits are relatively exact. Also the KA-52 cockpit is relatively exact but it's hard to get photos of those old pits at the web. Here are two links, one for the original Havoc blue pit and one for the old KA-52 (but they are sh... resolution).

I already started with the MI-28N and the modernized KA-50, but not much is ready yet. I need much time for it, cause I have to learn a lot with 3D. If I'm a bit further I could sent you my results, maybe there is something you can use, so you don't need to make all from scratch.

Yeah, I see now they are quite accurate. I was just having a quick look for some high res images.

I will do further work at the cockpits and you or the community could decide if it's good enough or not

I have no problem if nothing is used or only a few parts, because my attention is, that we have something realistic looking at the end. Who made it is not really important in my opinion, but the end result should be something we all like.

P.S:

I think you are much better in 3D as I'm but I have nothing other to do in the meantime so I will do some further work
