Is this in-game yet? I haven't seen it in SVN while I've been playing.

If not I suppose I'll have to add it to my queue.

If you're going to put it ingame, I think we would need more new cockpits badly. After all imagine how it looks - one ship type has a beautiful and professional cockpit while the others have such low quality ones as we have now. Would be quite weird. :?

It has been committed as the "light cockpit"
http://svn.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.cgi/ ... ckpit.cpt/
but I haven't seen it in-game either.

According to the units.cvs these ships should come with this great cockpit:
Aevant, Kierkegaard, Pacifier, Aelar, Hammer, Redeemer, Aeon, Derivative, Dirge, GTIO, Kafka, Quicksilver

Yes, problem is that "light" fighters aren't the usual choice.
I would very much like to see a new, and if possible in this quality, cockpit for the medium class. Meaning - for the llama. That would give newbies a well deserved new cockpit ;)

(Psst... if you update and rebuild, you'll get a brand-new F7 view - check it out, with Strangelet's cockpit if possible :D ).

Hm. My aelar never had one of these since last I checked. I'll update, but no rebuilding for me. VC7 broken, VC8 not working yet.

Seconded.

New HUD change... sweet. I donated money for this feature, so its good to finally see it. Goes to show you. If you want to see a feature in VS, support the devs!

:shock: coooool. Wouldn't it be nicer if all fighters and small vehicles get a cockpit like that. It's a bit of a turn-off when you first load VS and the cockpit graphics is just afew bars with a badly applied galvanized iron texture. :wink:

yeah, It's too small. but just for the emantime, it would look good. Until somebody decides to create cockpits for the rest of the ship classes. :wink:

hey! Wouldn't it be nice if all new ships should include cockpit graphics? For capships, modellers should include interior graphics.. etc. :D it'd probably be more work than necessary but... :wink:

I remember someone once asked the particulars of making VS cockpits, I wonder if he made one:?: Should ask him. :wink:

Great stuff, but I can't help wondering if there is a way (or eventually could be one) to map the HUD elements directly to the Cockpit Texture. The displays, as nice as they are, really look like they should be used. But, I'm new to the forum, so this issue has probably been addressed elsewhere.

Overall, though :shock: :D :shock: , I was SO SICK of the standard cockpits, more like this would DEFINITELY be an improvement (I remember when I first got a larger ship, I believe an admonisher, and was absolutely sickened by the crappy little square staring me in the face!)
