That's cool enough for me

where? Just kidding. It lokos pretty complete to me, or are you the never ending perfectionist?

Good work though am really looking forward to it. Have been blasting about in EECH and the new 3d Apache pit is a blast.

The part you see in the screenshots may look fairly complete, but the rest is totally missing.

Wow, it's really coming along nicely. I don't know why, but I love the MMS, it just looks so freaking cool.

I've finally started to work on other parts of the cockpit than what's directly ahead. Namely the left side and back. Like the front used to be, the instruments are mostly just flat textures, not proper 3D yet. But should at least give a little idea of how it will look.




The fuel shutoff valves are the only part done in full 3D yet. They are used when starting and stopping the turbines.


If you turn enough and zoom a little out you can catch a glimps of the troop cabin in the back. Though the view is going to be more obstructed once the pilot's seat is in place.

Impressive!

Maybe it would be better if all the switches will stay in 2D bitmap, and the working gauges in 3D. I'm just afraid, that if full cockpit will be made in 3D, it will downgrade FPS level on weaker PC's.

It's looking superb. I would say keep the 2d switches, they will look better than the low poly 3d switches.

Cheers

So, I'm guessing you only have the right side, instruments, and pilots seat left to do?

Also, after you finish the cockpit, will you continue to improve the hind?
If so, what do you have planned, if you don't mind my asking?

I think, 'only' isn't the right word here

I wasn't planning on doing everything in 3D. But how much remains to be seen.




No, there is more. E.g. the lower and upper part, and external details (what is visible from the cockpit, like the co-pilot's cockpit, pitot tube etc).



The co-pilot's cockpit is one big thing. And I may work on other things as well. But don't want to lay too many plans yet, still a lot of work to finish what I've started.

I think that position lights would be a nice addon for Hind.

Worked a bit on some of the missing parts. The right side, floor and ceiling. The door is still missing though.


The handle in the floor is the rotor brake:


Here you can see a bit of the ceiling:


And this one shows most of what I've worked on:

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiice I love the crew cabin, nice touch!

I still can't get over the outside texture improvement.

Well done, arneh!

Cracking job..Keep it up!

Thank You for your Hard work!
it's awesome!!!

btw... do you will do more cockpits for EECH?
if yes, do you have in Mind the Havoc and Black Shark in mind?

Haven't decided what I will do afterwards. We'll see. The Mi-24 co-pilot's cockpit would be highest priority.



Unlikely to make a cockpit for either of those. The Mi-28N there just is way too few pictures of to make an accurate cockpit. The Ka-50 has enough pictures, but it's going to have a dedicated sim very soon, so it's not so urgent to have it accurately modeled in EECH too.

There are still Ka-25, Mi-6, Mi-8, Cobra, Kiowa, Blackhawk...

Maybe Arneh or someone could post a cockpit building tutorial?

If you want to PM me notes or braindumps occasionally, I wouldn't mind putting it together.

Or an IM/skype conversation where I could get the steps, and refine it from there.
