Cockpit Callback Version x14 --- STILL works with X3 v2.5

DT · Post by DT » Thu, 24. Nov 05, 20:24

Heh I was wondering if they left the old cockpits in

Just tried it for a sec, looks kinda weird after playing cockpitless for a month.

One thing, are turrets meant to be the same as the main cockpit?
When I was in the Mamba Raider's turret the cockpit didn't change.

Anyway, thanks for the mod

What happens when you 'turn your head'? Does the cockpit stay put and the hud move with you? Or does the hud stay still too?

(Sorry if this is a really stupid question, but until my new computer arrives, all I can do is look at the X3 box...

)

Also, if anyone can post some more screenshots, I'd really appreciate it.

Because the nature of how you 'enable' cockpits these mods can not in any way work togeather.. so why just get the capital ship cockpits back when you can get a rebalance too?

If you're finding it difficult to move, it's because of the thousands of us non-programmers trying to kiss the hem of your toga.

Turning your head works just like it did in previous X versions... You see more of the cockpit. Very nice work.

Uh, I dont get it. What do u people like in having half your screen being taken away by a non interactive cockpit?

It only reduces your vicibility of space.

Like age of empires 3 where they filled up your screen with menu's so u see little of to few of the playerfield.

Its all about immersion. Having a cockpit gives you the feeling of being inside a spaceship, whereas no cockpit at all feels like you're just flying through space, head first.

Great work G613.

X3 is my first X-game. I didn't know what I was missing when the cockpits were taken away.

Let me say this: in the past, I didn't care about the cockpits, but now that I've seen them, they truly do add to the atmosphere of the game. You get a much larger sense of scale of the vastness of the X-Universe, and the cockpits I've seen so far really do look impressive, even if they are not interactive (although they do react subtly but with strong visual appeal to what you do with the flight controls)

The downside is that I take a small frame rate hit, which is why I suppose the cockpits were taken away by the Egosoft, but I'd much, much rather have the cockpits on than off.

This is an excellent mod! My thanks to you!

Excellent excellent excellent -

i've never seen x2 cockpits before - i am so grateful for their immersion boost - can't wait until some new ones get made cause its great to have cockpits but gees these cockpit designs aint so good,

i know whine whine...

anyway - great job galaxy

I now find myself overlooking many of x3's faults...for now --- funny how a little cockpit art changes the entire mood of the affair.

What I really want to do is make a cockpit for all the fighters for each race, one for the Argon (which might be the current M4 or M5 one), Boron (possibly the current M3 one), Paranid (Might have to make a new one...), Teledi (a revamped M5 one most likely) and Split (We'll need a new one for them). Even though there won't be different one for each ship, there WILL be a different one for each race!

How do you feel that the X2 cockpits are back in?

The X2 cockpits enabled in X3 look great!
