Pretty realistic A-10C Cockpit

Bigglesworth

Hello friends!

I want to show you my project I've been doing for entire 2019 year! This is a cockpit of A-10C Warthog. American attack aircraft made by Fairchild Republic.

I made model, textures and all animations for this cockpit. Exterior of a plane was made by another artist. 

It is part of the DCS flight simulator.

Woah, you have even the padded sides as geo. Some parts look almost like CAD imports, crazy detail!

Awesome work dude! I've been playing DCS since 2008, so I was pretty excited when this cockpit update was released

Thanks, Quasar. I'm glad to see someone using my models in the game.

trivial question, in game do the seat straps move etc when the player/pilot etc is in the cockput? are they rigged etc?

just wondering.

Right now seat straps are completely static.

Amazing work man. how many polygons ? i imagine the wireframe you showed is the in-game model?

Thanks. Yes, this is ingame mesh. Total polycount of this cockpit is 409.000 tris. This is VR-ready model. Player can move camera very close to geometry, so it should be like this.

Awesome work dude. Definately on par with the other high-detail DCS modules. Its probably as close as you can get to photorealism without photogrammetry!

PS: Love the overpainted peeling paint on the canopy frame.

Thanks. Exactly. It was my goal to make something that looks like photogrammetry. We have very realistic cockpit of F-14 in DCS. I guess it is 100% photogrammetry. This cockpit was made by another company, so I can't just ask them how they made it.

I tried to do something similar to F-14. But F-14 looks much much much better, than my A-10C anyway. So there is room to grow for me.
