2010-12-27 - Viper MK7 cockpit
Building cockpits is an insane amount of work. Nighteyes built the mesh I then did some upgrades and modifications on. After that I unwrapped it and started texturing. I also built a high poly variant of almost every object in there, and baked normal and specular solutions for them - this can sometimes make rather low poly objects look a lot more detailed than they are. Doing that for every switch and dial is a very labor and time intensive process, however, which is why it took this long to get it in the game.

Also, we said this should go here:

[09:50] <newman> hello cockpit my old friend
[09:50] <newman> i've come to scream at you again
[09:51] <@Karajorma> You totally should add those lines (with an apology to Simon and Garfunkel) to the eventual dev blog post about the cockpit
[09:51] <@Karajorma> :p

There, done. Also, to Simon and Garfunkel - you have my sincere apologies.

On to the more interesting stuff:











Hope you like it, I'm going to stuff myself with christmas food while there's still some of it around :P

I'm super impressed how few stock FS2 HUD elements remain - even the font and targeting brackets are different! Only the direction-to-target triangle and 'T' are recognisable!

Are any of the gauges in the cockpit dynamic, for showing engine/weapon power distribution, or remaining ammunition, for example?

Well, the dradis is fully functional. The rest of the gauges aren't impossible but they do take up a lot of resources - for now we're being careful with those.

We've made some MFD mockups, but for now those displays will be handled in the HUD.

It looks perfect, apart from the fact that the window/glass seems to be missing, or not obvious enough.

Transparency issues with the engine so no glass for now.

It would be awsm beyond measure if the FS2 ships could get cockpits like this. I'm really going to need TrackIR for this.

It really would. Unfortunately, it's a pretty labor intensive process and there's a lot of fighters in fs..
