the perseus in the zpack is screwy, the cockpit maps are misnamed, I've corrected it:

I've also moved the eye point so it fits well with the cockpit view:


keep it somewhere for the next time you update the vp.

awesome

[MetalDestroyer]

Excellent.

Do the dials on the cockpit move or are they just a picture?
EDIT: Very nice.

Is there any particular reason the the picture of the HUD on the cockpit is reversed from the normal HUD?

No, they don't. I considered removing them, but it's not really annoying there, in fact, you could remove the target point altogether and use the mapped to aim

Taylor: nah, I noticed that too an hour or two ago, no reason, I just didn't pay attention

[HotSnoJ]

oh em ef gee that is freaking awesome!

[Fineus]

Very nice.. but is there any way to sharpen it up some? The HUD gauges I mean... they're kinda blurred.

[WMCoolmon]

Nico, can you try this with one of my recent builds and see if it works? I've been having trouble with your Perseus...although I guess it could be that the POF is corrupted (again), but I did download your new model.

[starfox]

Pretty awesome !
So where do I istall the POF File. In the main directory ?

[MetalDestroyer]

In data\model

[Atkara]

Erm... please forgive my ignorance, but... since when cockpits were implemented into the mediaVps? Are they in the zpack only?

I've downloaded the relevant build (cockpit_test.zip) but I don't see any cockpit... surely I'm missing something here. "show ship" flag is not working on the launcher so, my guess is that this flag refers to Fred.

Do I have to edit a mission on Fred in order to have a cockpit view?

Thanx in advance

[Nico]

Coolmon: I will. Didn't do coz it worked well already with the previous pack. But unless the upload screwed up, the perseus is fine, it comes directly from my FS2 model folder

Atkara: they're modeled in certain ships, it's not a separate feature. there's a few ships that have cockpits, afaik.

also, you need to add "show ship" to the ship flags in the ships.tbl file.

[starfox]

Thanks for the quick and efficient answer, Metaldestroyer.

[FireCrack]

I wish that some things could be set to not show up, like the cockpit HUD.

[Atkara]

Thanx Nico, that cleared it out for me

[Nico]

You're welcome

Where exactly in the ship.tbl ?
Here :
$Flags:                         ( "player_ship" "default_player_ship" "fighter")

Or adding a new variable into the ship spec ?

[Nico]

in the flags entry, yeah.

[MetalDestroyer]

Hum i 've just try it and it don't work.

How to install this perseus cockpit ?
