zerO_crash Posted Friday at 08:31 PM Posted Friday at 08:31 PM Hi, I asked this question basically when NS430 released back in the day, the question of implementing the 3D version of the NS430 into the cockpit (selectable through mission editor). The answer back then, was that there simply was no space in the cockpit, as the NS430 would stick outside the cockpit glass. Well, I've just looked at the model viewer, and with some very basic skills (literally after 1hr of using it), came with this: Now, granted, I haven't yet figured out object rotation and collision (attaching to surfaces), but I'm sure that it's child's play for a dedicated artist/coder. As can be seen, even with basic x-/y-/z- placement of the object within the cockpit, I have more than enough space to any obstructions, canopy glass included. There is still buffer in the sense that the NS430 can be placed more streamlined with the upper dashboard (parallel to each other), as well as the ability to even pull it out (towards the pilot) further. For anyone who has seen other types of MiG-21s, there can be plenty of items sticking out towards the pilot, such as e.g. the radar screen hood, and more, without obstructing the view. I would really appreciate it if you guys gave this another look, and at least until we get a new MiG in many years, have the NS430 integrated with the current one. It makes much sense with modern operations. Thanks for consideration! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
