[Ask] How to change Me163_599 / Me163B cockpit?

well, I personally was at a week vacancy with my family. I am back already, but right now I am busy with another real life related things mainly. there is also some kind of my small support / "surveillance" latest days, for one my racesim mod (released), which is under conversion into another game, by one skilled guy...


maybe gecko have some Komet news for you ;)
 
Slowly making progress, but my CFS3 time is rather limited this spring. There are some FM bugs, and a few minor items that need straightened out. It's the last little bit that takes the longest, but it makes a big difference in quality. Hang in there, I'm trying to make sure it will be well worth the wait.
 
thanks :)

well, there isnt too much to say, the project is just under some kind of stuff tweaking now, eg:

* cockpit animation changes for gear indicator, gear lever, flaps lever (me, done)
* airplane skin paint corrections (me, work in progress)
* damage profile tests, including the B-17 lowpoly model (gecko, work in progress)
* ingame flight manual instructions, based on a german "original" Me-163 handbook source (gecko, work in progress)
* AnKor gunsight feature implementation - optional (gecko, work in progress)
* AnKor bump/normal map feature implementation - optional (gecko, work in progress)

... and much more :)
 
Messerschmitt Me 163B Komet for CFS3 - video footage

ok guys, a small lowres video added, at least.


Note1: having problems recording the ingame sounds, so there is a background music only
Note2: the video footage dosent presents how to properly fly the airplane, its just a keyboard guided quick flight record :)

It's been a while since there's been an update so I thought I'd post something. Real life and summer have been slowing our progress, but it is continuing. One aspect I've been working on is adding compatibility with some of the new features of Ankor's shaders. Here's a shot of the new self-lit cockpit gauges and lights:

Can't wait!! I have a special CFS3 install just for this aircraft. It's been many years waiting for a good Me-163.So glad it's now in its final stage!:applause:
 
well, is it me only, who can see at the geckos night image screenshot like almost a pure pitch black screen only? :)
to recognise what actually the screenshot presents, I have had edit it in my image editor (attached). now I can finally say "great gauge lightning effect, gecko!" :)

note: I have such problem at any computer and monitor/tv, it doesnt matter if is it my PC at work, my home game PC, my notebook or my wifes notebook.
I do not use any special monitor or vga settings anywhere, just the default one...

Between Borek's cockpit shot and the one I posted above, are the gauge markings visible in mine, or is it all black? We're trying to figure out the right balance because for some reason night shots display very differently between our two PCs. Any ideas why this is? Neither of us have altered our display settings, so we're kind of confused.

Your posted screen shot is almost black, undecipherable. That is common to a lot of the posts of night time screenies, not just yours, its obviously difficult to know how the things will appear on other people's monitors. :dizzy:
 
Very little left (I know, I said that before). I'm currently working on stabilizing a program I wrote to improve CFS3's handling of the Me 163's unique systems - you will be able to fly the aircraft exactly according to the original 1944 pilots operating instructions. An English translation by me will be included.

Why is it taking so long? It's my fault trying to get everything tweaked just right. And I've been a bit busy - this year I have earned an instrument rating and commercial pilot's license, graduated from flight school, moved across the state, gotten a new job, and our third kid was born.

Well I think that is a very good reason for the delay
