Blaze Posted March 31, 2010 Posted March 31, 2010 (edited) A 3D cockpit in LO and FC1 was extremely difficult to do because of rendering order problems that arose when importing it into the game. These headaches were greatly reduced to nearly zero with FC2 and the DCS engine. I can tell you it's a fact that a fully-3D cockpit is possible in FC2. Even the code to make a clickable cockpit is there, sitting dormant from Black Shark, there's just no documentation on how to use it yet (hopefully ED will release cockpit-dev tools in the future). Right now though, it'd be best to start with some of the user-made aircraft that have cockpits that wouldn't have MFD's or HUD's. Something has to be done to the cockpit to enable them, and ED has not said what it is yet (although I've heard a few people may be close to or have figured it out). So I think over the next few years we'll see more modders emerge from the shadows working on everything from flight models to a fully-3D cockpit for aircraft. FC2 really is "more moddable" than it's predecessors, and we'll find out just how much more over it's lifetime. In the near future I plan on writing a guide for 3D modders on how to create, animate, and import new cockpits for FC2. ;) Edited April 3, 2010 by Blaze i7 7700K | 32GB RAM | GTX 1080Ti | Rift CV1 | TM Warthog | Win 10 "There will always be people with a false sense of entitlement.

coder1024 Posted April 1, 2010 Posted April 1, 2010 interesting, thanks for the info Blaze! I would have thought with the move forward to FC2 and references to BS in the product info that 3D clickable pits might be a possibility. sounds like based on your research they are, ED just decided not to put them in for the release in the pits they provide.

Aeroscout Posted April 3, 2010 Posted April 3, 2010 Blaze, check PM. If what you are saying is true, I really don't understand why this possibility wouldn't be attacked by modders! Please share your knowledge! Aero DCS Wishlist: 1) FIX THE DAMN RIVERS!!! 2) Spherical or cylindrical panorama view projection. 3) Enhanced input options (action upon button release, etc). 4) Aircraft flight parameter dump upon exit (stick posn, attitude, rates, accel, control volume, control-surface positions, SAS bias, etc). 5) ADS-33 maneuver courses as static objects. 6) Exposed API or exports of trim position and stick force for custom controllers. 7) Select auto multiple audio devices
joey45 Posted April 3, 2010 Posted April 3, 2010 Can you think of one publisher/developer that actually gives a crap out a product seven years that its been out? I can think of one, Blizzard, but that's probably only because WoW has made them all billionaires. They have a budget ED could only dream of. Codemasters with Dragon Rise............. no wait they stopped supporting that game after four months of releaseing it.....:) I'll get back with you on that Question... The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.
