3D cockpits .... how is the viewpoint moved?
I got a model in game with a 3d modelled cockpit, but I can't find out how you move the viewpoint to where it should be!

I thought it was in the 'eye' section of PCS, so I changed the values to 0,0,0.... but the view from the external view ( chasecam ) is still behind the ship. Where do I change the values to put the viewpoint inside the cockpit ?

You should add 'show ship' flag to the ships properties (flags) in ships.tbl and then fly the ship in 'cockpit view' and not in 'chase view'

Thanks Wanderer! That did the trick! I assumed the thing would be in the POF, not the table.
