The awesome Yaks improvement thread :)

[RegRag1977]

Hello Team Daidalos,

I would like to ask you if it will be possible to have more accurate cockpit details for the Yak family. I am not asking for higher resolution or eye candy stuff, i am happy with the overall quality of the pits considering their age.

However there's something i think could be improved: the shape of the yak windscreens: actually they changed with the different versions, but in game we mostly have the early rounded Yak1 windscreen up to the latest Yaks (9M) with only the 9U that have a rather strange squared rectangular one, and the 3 that have no metal frame at all (which is correct).

Long story short:

Early Yak1 (and possibly yak7) windscreen is rounded at the top (correct and nice in game) :

Yak1B 1943: should be trapezoidal:

Most of the Yak 9 appear to have the same type of windscreen (even the U which ingame is strangely rectangular, but i can be wrong here, i did not find much pics of this type

I'm sure many people around here can provide documents about this.

Thanks for reading, and for all you made for our favorite sim!
