6DOF support and Lock-On

[TorwaK]

Yes I know we're going to get 6DOF support by Black Shark but I'm curious about that is it hard to add 6DOF support to Lock-On with a patch too? In my opinion I would like to get it very much.

 

Cheers.

For FC you mean? Impossible. Cockpits here are not fullu 3d.

[TorwaK]

Sorry me I wanted to say FC of course. So I asked here is there possibility to make cockipts fully 3d by patch or something like that? I don't know just it can be so good.

[VMFA117_Poko]

Oh, rebuilding the pits... hmmm. I don't believe this could be made by some third-party modder. It lays in ED good will so you know how it is.

After played Flight Simulator X which is 6DOF supported, I wish to get same feelings by Flaming Cliffs too. Btw I know ED is working hard and everybody ask something from them so maybe they dot down my request too. :P

:) I keep finger crossed mate.

Well, if you want a 6DOF cockpit, why don't you build one by yourself?:joystick:

[TorwaK]

if somebody teach me why not?

Is it possible to create 3rd party cockpits? That would be great, one cockpit is worth four dozen high-poly tanks.

Lock on MUST have a dynamic campaign system with multiplayer support AND toe-brakes on an axis

Maybe not formal but people made Falcon 4 AF with 6DOF supported which is made almost 10 years ago. So I don't think that it'll be hard to make for Lock-On, just need a brave volunteer who can handle it.

No, it is not easy to make, and it is not very likely to happen.

[TorwaK]

GGTharos I know a person who can draw 3D cockpit, but where can I get 6DOF techical documents for it? From natural point or ED for Lock-On? Thanks.

[GGTharos]

You can't. The source code isn't open for editing by anyone outside ED's developers.

[TorwaK]

Ok I see, but I don't understand how this person made Falcon 4.0 with 6DOF supported? I'm sure nobody gave him source of the game.

[Prophet]

The source of F4.0 has been available for YEARS now. Shortly after 1.08 and the Microprose meltdown.

[TorwaK]

I understand. Thank you for information.

I understood it was technically possible to create new cockpit 3D models?

 

There was some discussion about using the arguments setup to move needles and so forth . . . . and having to work out what each argument controlled from scratch.

 

So if you could do it, it would certainly be rather time-consuming . . .
