There's converters in the code repo to convert to/from ees/lwo. You run them from the command line.

yes, I mean, there are no new ees files saved with new models. They are only with the old ones.
rapota only made files lwo, without any ees.
you need to open the ees old file in the editor scene and save it with the new model.

Are we anywhere close on the external Ka-50N model? With the updated cockpit model & textures, updated instruments, and FLIR installed, the cockpit is almost ready. We could shoot for upgrading the entire Ka-50.

The MI-28N is still a long hard way to go. Lot harder than the KA-50 was.

I just take a look at the all textures we already have in EECH and what I can reuse also for the MI-28N instruments.

The photos of the MI-28N cockpit are really good, but to use them for the cockpit textures you have to correct every instruments perspective, as if you would look directly centered top down to the instrument.

I can for sure correct some perspective things, but that's a real hard work. Much harder as you would think of. At the moment this is my biggest problem. Much bigger as the 3D work itself.

The MI-28N will really take a while, before finished. I don't know what plans you have for the release of the new version, but I think I will certainly need three months at least to get the MI-28N done. I can not promise this, cause I have a lot other things also, that must be done.

The new external model of the KA-50 was done two years ago by myself. At the time of working at it I didn't knew that we will make a KA-50N somewhere in future, so I could not say if it is somewhere near finished.

It was only a, what I thought, nicer looking version of the KA-50. The animation of the nose sensors is still missing an I have no clue how this works.

I have not worked at it now. I'm only at the MI-28N at the moment. But I could also switch back to the KA-50, if you like, so that this one is faster finished.

I will also need some assistance with the animations. I have to learn this from scratch, cause I never done anything with it before. Two years ago I also wanted to make the nose-sensors of the KA-50 working but to get this done you also have to know the code and here is my problem.

Imho better make the most complete cockpit and model ka50, it does not make sense to release half done.Mi28 can wait.

Ok, just tested the KA-50 in EECH. I have seen a lot of textures still missing in the pit. I have made a completely new k50_cockpit_2.tga/bmp back those days. I have tested it now, copying it to EECH, but it hasn't any effect.

Same goes for my completely modified fuselage (I also tested today). Also no textures here, even if I copy the textures I made back two years ago to EECH.

As far as I remember I was further with this work, but I couldn't find the files yet. I will now switch back to the KA-50 and try to fix the missing textures in the pit and also update the external model to the "KA-50N" (the model I already made) and fix those missing textures also. I think I have to do the whole UV-mapping for this again. Maybe I could find the last version of my work, but as things are at the moment I doubt about it.

Hi Viper. I'm going to fix the MFD TV view clarity first, then I'll take a look at the animation code for the sensor turret and guns. They don't pop out of a bay like the Comanche guns do, they just rotate and point. I'm thinking it's similar to the instrument needles animation, but with 2-axis motion instead of just one. The 3D object needs to be a complete ball or cylinder for the camera sensor, so when it rotates in 3D it's solid from every angle. Half a sphere would leave an open hole when rotated. It's only going to take me a day or two to fix the TV cameras, I've already found the code that controls the MFD scene lighting and tinting. And I'm off work for most of the next five days!

When I'm back I'll send you the updated cockpit files, as I made slight changes when I was doing the instruments

Ah ok, that's good, thanks. What I've seen yesterday is that the k50_cockpit_2.tga/bmp is still the old one from Soczkien. I've made a new one two years ago, but there are still some missing UV-maps (e.g. the hoops at the top left and right besides the overhead-panel and the inside cockpit window frames etc.).

I have tested it yesterday and the texture has no effect, also it has the same name as the one from Soczkien. I think I had a newer version of the KA-50 cockpit EEO file, including the UV-maps for those missing textures, but I have no clue where it is. I will redo this mapping, so that the cockpit is complete. I think it won't have any effect to the changes you made, cause it's only stuff from the k50_cockpit_2.tga/bmp which isn't relevant to the main front panel and the whole textures which are used for the instruments. Those textures are completely in the first k50_cockpit_1.tga/bmp which is already integrated in our new version of the cockpit. I will recompile the new eeo-file we now use and do the uv-mapping for it.

After fixing this, I will go to the external model of my KA-50N and do some changes, so that Javelin could make the nose-sensors working and we could use it. As far as I know, I did not used full balls for the sensors at final, cause I didn't see any way to get the animations done and it was simpler to make the sensors a part of the fuselage itself.

I will now fix this and also redo the UV-mapping for the external camo and other details. I used the full 4096x4096 two years ago to get smooth textures with some details, but this distorted the textures in there shape and it was hard to get the details matching in size. I will also try to fix this too, cause I have to do the UV-mapping for it again anyway. I hope I can still get a good resolution for the textures, because if I fix the aspect ratio, I will loose a lot of the pixels in the height for the fuselage. At the other hand it's a lot easier to get e.g. the different rims, I also made for each camo, working with the normal, desert and winter textures, cause I can put them to the main texture. The texture itself will still remain 4096x4096.

If you have the same name texture tga and bmp you must delete one. Move the same name textures out of eech folder,leave only what you need .

I think the sensor ball needs to be a separate object in the scene. So when you create it in the model at the right size and shape, save it as a separate object.

I have deleted the original file and replaced it with the new one. I also made two versions of all the files related to the cockpit, one TGA and one BMP. It still had no effect, regardless what I did.

It's simply not the last version of my pit I have available at the moment and the odds are good that I have mixed up something before I did the backup, two years ago. The termination of my tenancy came really unexpected and I had to manage so much things, that it could happened easily, that I did a final backup of the wrong version of the KA-50. It's really a problem with missing UV-mappings in the version we now have. It's sadly not the final version we have, but even the final one was not completely finished.

Thank's messyhead, I will do this. I hope I will be able to find out what I had already all done. It's really a problem if you have to remember things you did two years ago and never again, cause there were so much other things you had to manage screwy biggrin

I do not want to think about my homepit. Oh god, I have no more clue what I had soldered all together at the electronics confused

I think some elements should be fixed:

Missing dirty windscreen in apache - during rain or snow there is no visible crap on the windscreen.

Overtorque - you can fly at 110% without any issues.

Helfire word said by the weapon operator (only when radar version of helfire is used you we can hear word “hellfire” while going through the weapons.

Choppers are moving (actually rocking) on the helipad at the beginning of the mission

That’s it for now ;-)

I forgot about it, could you please Javelin or messyhead look at it?it appeared with the add lighting to apache cockpit by thealx. his last work.it's a different rendering mode from I remember.Also no dirty window in ka50? if i good remember.

I have just seen that the wiper of the KA-50 is a bit far to the left. I think this is an animation problem. Is there a way to correct this, so that the axis attachment is at the right front window frame?

On the textures, I've noticed that they tend to stay loaded in the graphics card buffer even after you've shut down EECH all the way and restarted it. I messed with a texture a month ago and had to launch another graphics-intensive program in order to flush the current texture out of the buffer so I could see the changes I had made. Just an observation. It may just apply to my graphics card, but then again it may not.
