Hi there

Recently I have been trying to use a hi res cockpit for AH 64D from Cockpits.nl however the DDS's were flipped (and my knowledge in that field is pretty much non existent) so instead of trying to figure things out I have just converted pretty much everything to hi res BMPs (+4 TGA's) and it works.

If you want to go this route, just go to "...\cohokum\graphics\textures\cockpit\ah-64d-cockpit", remove everything from that folder, download the below RAR file: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1wmsJxLyrLaGEYXrdtWUn-peLg8UMTK7x and extract all files into the ah-64d-cockpit folder. Simple as that and it works. I have spent some time yesterday testing it and came across some weird issues so please remove all files from the ah-64d-cockpit folder first!! Otherwise your PC will blow up and our precious planet will teleport to a different dimension causing pain, chaos and death...ok maybe not wink

I have attached some screenshots below to prove it works.

Enjoy

I seem to remember these graphics were included in one of the updates as cockpits.nl made them available for free. Why were you having to do all this work?

Yeah, it was in this release. I'm not sure if that made it into 1.16

Hi

messyhead - I just came across this hi res mod on here (which obviously came from cockpits.nl) but it would not work properly (dds's were flipped vertically and it didn't look right). I had no idea how to deal with this so just converted everything to bmp's and tga's and it worked so I thought I share this "amended" version. At least I had something to do while my other half was watching The X Factor on the telly LOL.

Keltos - I only took a few screenshot of the old cockpits as per below. It doesn't look hugely different but when you zoom in you can see a big difference in details. I know I will not be going back to the old lo res cockpit wink

I have spoke with mod author, and we agreed that these textures can be included in installer only with new AH64D mod (originally started by Arneh). but, both Hind and Apache still stays in the drawer for years, so you did the right thing - at least people can install it manually.

But still your IMAGE003.jpg shows *two* instances of the "Processor Select" panel on the pilot's right side, and the lower one has mirror text.

It's a mess. I have contacted Aeyes, the author of the texture set, at cockpits.nl, and he says he will look at the problem when he is back from vacation in mid-August 2020.

You've got 95% of the solution however, and I will be downloading your textures. I had started flipping the DDS textures around, but what a headache.

Thanks, and best regards.

No, don't think they are. You can still get them from here;
