In my opinion the cockpit of IAR 80/81 is the most primitive of the il-2 cockpits. It was made in early years of the game, when the polygon and texture limits were much lower than nowdays, texture artowork isn't really that bad but it's just too low rez. So i decided to make a total overhaul. Actually i first just planned to change the gunsight of IAR-81, but it expanded a little...  .

This mod includes also some minor 3d fixes, mainly i have reworked some little things on the instrument panel.

IAR-80

IAR-81
The cockpit of IAR-81 had few bad 3d bugs like the needles of the 5 small gauges on lower cockpit wrong positioned, rudder pedals transparent from other side and canopy handle partially hidden by reticle mask. I corrected these with IAR-80 files. I also noticed in my 4.12 modact bad transparency clipping problem on the nose that does not exist in stock game. If you face the same problem go to the hier.him and find the line "//[Nose]" and remove "//", then you should get a quick fix. Also, mainly looking for compatibility with SAS IAR pack's new planes (https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,1526.msg389974.html), i have separated all bomb control stuff to invidual mesh, so you can remove it. To do this, go to the hier.him and find the line "[Bombequipment]" then add "//" before it.





Notice no more blocky things covering your clock  . It has got a brand new telereflex gunsight with working reticle dimmer.

Version 2

Most important thing is the new historically correct gyro compass (see these pictures:http://www.worldwar2.ro/forum/uploads/post-2-1100321239.jpg, http://ww2db.com/images/air_iar80_2.jpg). Also fixed radiator control crank position in IAR-81 cockpit, an added/edited some other small things. Remove the first version before installing this.





Thanks to Greif11 for compass texture.

Thank you!

This was badly needed.

Should I remove Josse: the IAR-80 and 81 series revisited  n order to install these cockpits?

Of course no, if you have downloaded the tyrl cockpits, this should override them if the folder names are default ones.

New version with correct compass + other stuff in first post. I didn't realized that i can change the compass when doing the first version  .

Great re-paint, however is there a ( since 4.10.1 UP3 RC4 ) new template or 3D model for the IAR cockpit?

Both A & C versions of this re-paint produce small bright pink patch just beyond the gun site on the cowl behind the radiator flaps.
I am at a loss as to what causes this bright pink patch
