Cockpit tub view

I know this was mentioned some time ago, but I couldn't find the thread. Since there are so many of us building a pit, it would be great to have an internal view without the pit, still have the HUD, and still be able to see things like the external parts. I'm not sure exactly how to word it. In HUD only mode I feel like I'm flying a new invisible stealth attack plane, except I'm the only one that can't see it.

I remember what you are talking about but can't remember who was doing it. You might try the SC Simulations forum or possibly PM Gadroc or Flim.

AFAIK the hud mode you are thinking of was done by adjusting the forward view to just be the fire ex handles and hud, this will not work with trackers, its just for a static view.

another one used a edited lua but this removed the whole cockpit section so it was almost the same as alt-f1 view but as you pan around you had odd bits of plane here and there.

it wasnt very good IMO..

That's pretty much what I was talking about. It'd be nice if the guys at ED could make a "pitless cockpit view" or something, where everything is taken out of the cockpit except the canopy rails and front canopy supports. This would still leave all the external stuff in view so that when we turn our heads, we can still see the wings, or look at the mirrors. I look at the wings a lot when I'm flying, especially doing ground reference maneuvers (turns around a point, etc).

Would like to see this too.

Do want

Could we just limit the downward travel of the VC view, so that it would not drop below the Canopy rail/Glare Screen? This way the 6 DOF would still work as intended, but without the redundant Panel.

What if you just replace the edm cockpit file with a blank placeholder, so then you end up with just the external model.

And you'd go about doing that... how?

A clear cabina.edm will not be the solution.

You will be able to look through the cockpit and see the gun/gears/outer world.

So it has to be a cabina.edm with at least something like a Tub.

As Far as I know this old mod will not work as it was in a *.lom format.

I searched also for the thread some time ago but couldn't find it.

BTW:

Can someone be so nice and point me to the cockpit file in DCS:World - I want to try something tonight.

BTW 2: - who ask for a cockpit-less cockpit is maybe also interested in this:

;) no need to help me in my search...;) I have found it in the meanwhile myself...

I collected all info I could find in this thread:

Cockpit Hud (Blackshark/A-10C) and hopefully soon fc2 - Page 9 - ED Forums

regarding a "cockpit-less" view and did made a package with a pre-set that will enable it like in this Vid:

As I wrote in my last posting :

You will be able to look through the cockpit and see the gun/gears/outer world - but I think this is much better as flying without wings at all.

You will have to use "3.For Pit-Builders - Cockpit and MFCDs in Cockpit OFF"

I would love this as I have a fully funcitonal pit in front me of. But the link is broken. Help!

There is this. Not sure if it's exactly what you want.

Note that the path is now Mods\aircraft not Mods\aircrafts in the latest DCS World version.
