i have an idea, have some one make a mod with 3d cockpits, and a setting in the game options to enable cockpits, then the scp can code it in.

Don't bump 8-year-old topics, please.

One person is working on them, i can't remember his user name though.
Yeah i suppose this is an old topic, oh well maybe one day there will be a release.

Vasudan General Admiral created a working 3D Cockpit for the Apollo, Dragon used it for Blue Planet. See this thread:

So if you are able to create models and textures, some other cockpits beside the Apollo would be nice. 

And This one is for FS2 and beyond. I think this is the best way.

Cockpits on Terran fighters in Mediavps and BP: AoA.
No Vasudans, I'll someday make a mode for them.

For this one you need to create a folder called Cockpitmod in your Freespace 2 directory. Create a sub folder data, then sub folders for maps,models,cache, and tables. Unzip the file and put all the .pof files in models, .tbm files in tables, and the rest in maps.

Then add "-mod Cockpitmod", no quotes, to the Custom Flags line under Features in the FS2 Open Launcher. You don't need your original showship file anymore so disable or delete it. Vasudan Admiral has created an awesome generic cockpit that you can use. Just copy a entry using a GenericCP.pof, replace the ship name,and add it to the AoACockpits-shp.

Like This:

Code: [Select]

$Name: GTF Apollo
+nocreate
$Cockpit POF file: GenericCP.pof
+Cockpit Offset: 0.002 -1.05 1.23
This is the best way for the cockpit view. I was only able to figure it out this morning as the method described in the original thread wasn't working for me. The whole Cockpitmod part came from another thread that for the life of me I can't find again.

Hm, must have misunderstood those Vasudan Rank Signs

Can i request that you (if you have it) reupload the fsport version. Ya know sometime stuff happens, files get accidentally deleted, and then **** happens to the upload site (mega upload). Ya know. 

[Al-Rik]

The mediafire link in my posting above still works.

And there is no FS-Port of the mod.

You need to adjust the Cockpits-shp.tbm to the ships in the FS-Port:
Or simply use this table:

#Ship Classes ;;Cockpits for Terran ships in AoA.

Hmmm, I'm just a little curious. Are there other cockpit models except the GenericCP ? Could you post link to grab it and ideally some screenshots of each cockpit ?

[KyadCK]

GenericCP is the only good one that I've seen, and the only one to have a HUD mapped to it.

As far as I know there are no other models.
The .pof in Dragons Cockpitmod only adjust the viewpoint from the Cockpit, and everything is in lowpoly, low texture glory never meant to looked upon from that short distance.
Also many of those Cockpits have Problems with the glass material: it's not transparent or the environment is mirrored.

If I would have the time and the skill to create models I would like to create some - starting from Vasudan Admirals basic cockpit, adding the different elements of the  cockpit (like frames of Canopy, ect...)
But I don't have the skill, and I don't have the time to learn that skill

Seems those cockpit are built-in cockpit from the ships itself and not external cockpit model like the Generic. I have the same pit by just adding the "show ship" flag to each ships table.
The only cons with the generic is the fact you can't see your own ships when you're turning your head around.

[Reprobator]

That's not the only problem.
You can adjust external hull to the pof , the problem are external weapons like guns etc.. that are not linked.
