MOD Idea: Cockpit Glass Scratched Effect
#8

If to speak about historic accuracy, nearly all ww2 era aircrafts had their canopies made of perspex (organic glass):

Parts of canopies (mostly front & rear) had armored glass...

Well, you're wrong, mate... I've been racking my brains on how to make a realistic perspex scratched canopies look for almost 2 years already, since the day I've made my
Yak-s cockpits...
Did you try my Yak-s or LaGG-s cockpits? (Try to fly in poor weather to see the scratches... :wink: )
I still want to improve it, but the problem is that I still can't find a good perspex (to make a texture pattern)...
Like I said, I'm not 100% satisfied with my canopies scratches look, but it surely better than nothing:

Like I said, it's a temporary descision only, but if you like this -- PM me... O.K., mate?


Sincere regards,
Mangas.
