Every time I read the argument that the game is free … I can only smile.
It’s free to try it, if you want to make the slightest progress and value your time a little. You go through the box.
This post is indisputable, they are going to put ray tracing and other graphics but they have PS1 textures. No sense.
About the discussion of reporting errors , they should have a quality control.
Which is why is questioned ray tracing as well, something very demanding that the vast majority of players can’t even use and those that can probably still won’t use it due to the hit in performance, unless it somehow gives them an advantage.
To add that whilst the rest of the game has things looking like the Ariete, bomber cockpits look even worse and there are a ton of other issues that should take priority.
We still have ULQ in the game because apparently people still use pre 2010 hardware, we have pre 2000 cockpits in terms of graphics but now there’s ray tracing.
Not arguing or anything
just adding things for context.
Gaijin pays a minimum of $6,500 USD up to $10,000 USD per aircraft model
and those are the requirements Gaijin placed

Must have gotten a discount on this one then.
this game is like in top 10 most played games on steam for years, the fidelity should be damn near gta 6 level on all models ingame by now
One is placed in a very popular nation, another is within barely played Italy, so probably they prefer to spend less on Ariete model.
Although maybe cockpit was made way before the introduction of the plane, which can be quite possible considering in 2015 devs (Lassar) already told about plans to show us Italian TT, but then, well…it seems plans were changed.
Btw I haven’t checked G.91Y cockpit recently, but it used to be just G.91R reuse.
oh man the people defending this slop are very sad (articfox) i’ve been saying this for a while when i tried to use a bomber in test drive SIM only to be welcomed with stretched out basic grey blobs and copy pasted plane instruments all over the place
BY THE WAY if you want to feel even more angry, the R2Y2 haves a way detailed cockpit than the ariete somehow…
After reading this whole thread I can understand most of the points being made and I think I can see Gaijin’s prospective on this. I believe the lack of source material is the most likely reason for the low quality but with ‘silver’ lining. They probably made this bad model to save effort because they expect to update the model in the future if better pictures become available (which could be never). I don’t imagine they can justify a business expense to fly to Italy to take pictures themselves for a single plane. The awful screws on the canopy is pretty inexcusable though.
The R2Y2 makes sense at least because it doesn’t exist at all
A lack of pictures is surely the reason why they went with American gauges on an Italian plane.
It genuinely looks like it could be from an early 2000s videogame, how is that acceptable in any way, shape or form?
If they want pictures, they can go get them, if they don’t want to, they can still make an effort for something they are charging money for.
There is enough to work with to put together a good approximation, and they can be using textures from this decade.
I’m not trying to argue
I think the intention was to give all aircraft high res cockpits back in the day but as sim is basically dead theyre only focussing on the big ones. If you want a good cockpit i guess the only option is to submit one yourself like that guy did for the he111.
Yeah, or entire models like the He 177 which also doesn’t get a cockpit but they will financially benefit from it by putting it in the BP and then on the marketplace.
If they don’t want to bother with bombers that’s one thing, even though I don’t see why people allow them to just cut corners, I don’t know any other games where they outright refuse to just finish a model and people are just okay with it, but the Ariete in question is what, $40? You copy paste a tech tree model and sell it for $40 but won’t bother to add even a basic cockpit.
Disgusting.
