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

Using the old cockpit mod in 1.3, the cockpit appeared completely unlit. So I presume they must've shifted about the system entirely too.

galaxy, i hate u....now im hankering after new cockpits, please let your guess be the right one

im sure the console crowd wouldnt accept a game without a cockpit....but i aint one of em (games have no depth , well until console x3) so cant really be sure

i bet the cockpit lighting change was a performance optimization

it was probably wasting some performance doing cockpit lighting even with no cockpits in default x3

The thing was, I went into the galaxy editor and the only thing that WASN'T black was the sun, the self illumated cockpit, and a planet I put in. But thats just me.

I will see about making my new cockpit callback sometime between now and around Christmas.

Absolutely! I wont play X3 again until your great Mod is back! I don't want to play without cockpits anymore, its like going from dsl back to 56k

Galaxy's cockpits still work though!! We've just forgotten to pay the ECell bill so can't turn the interior lights on

Thats the thing.. I don't know how to "pay the ECell bill". By all logic the cockpits should light with no problem. I might alert Burianek of this problem so he could but it in the bug tracker, but this will be low priority because this is a non-standard feature. The future for X3 Cockpits don't look so bright.

Literally

I guess I'd better get plugging away at my improved scenery mod, you don't notice the lack of a cockpit if you have awesome visuals to gawk at.

I guess there goes my plans to make new cockpit models.

Do not worry, the future for the cockpit mod in the NEAR future may not look so bright, but in the far future it does.

Imp.-, a German moderator, was too making a Cockpit mod for X3, but with the concent of Egosoft. You can see some of his work here. He was trying to make new cockpits too (which you can see on his site). He would like to see more cooperation between German and English modders, but for the moment there is nothing we can do except wait for Egosoft to fix the cockpit problem. And hopefully with Imp's "testimony" Egosoft would give a good priority to fix this. Espeically sense this is a non-standard feature I fear it will be low-pri.

Cockpits are not a feature, its just necessary for such a game - just my opinion. Egosoft gave us 1.3 and took away, indirectly, galaxy's cockpit mod.

Edit: I checked Imp's site and he wrote there will be a download of his argon cockpit mod after patch 1.3, on the official site. Though, not yet.
Maybe this evening, as a present! The pictures look incredible!

I cried and cried and cried when I realized cockpits no longer worked!

Lise · Post by **Lise** » Sat, 24. Dec 05, 17:08

Awesome - call me crazy but the cockpits really made this game for me,

Who coulda guessed 1.3 would screw up the X3's saving grace - and here i thought the ego boys were secretly on our side, what with their inclusion of the x2 cockpits for Galaxy to find.

i'll just give it all some time. -

i now love germans

egosoft please throw him some of your new found wealth to speed up making this near perfect game perfecter!!!
