@Commander Zane:

That makes sense now, I found out my Boreas doesn't have a canopy either, I'm using CMod as well.

It should be ok for Boreas if u play only with my mod .. sry but i cant check compatibility of all mods of X3universe !
I make only my own cockpits .. and iam not a beta tester .. for the moment

Open TShips (extracted with X3modManager) of 1 of both mods u have installed with X3Editor , then go to the Boreas line and asign "ships\argon\cockpits\argon_m2_cp_scene" to the cockpit scene
save, insert the new TShips in the cat file (with X3modManager)
that's all

EDIT: new version tomorow !

if you are using the Improved ships addon of Cmod3, warning! It is not 2.1 compatible and will break a plot. (the one added in the 2.1)

and it is probably that file that breacks havok with this mod. Cmod3 modifies only Lazers/missiles. You need to modify that file yourself to get a cockpit. Or use my mod instead of Improved ships

. (link in my sig)

@PSCO1: I have something to say about the mod....
aesthetics this time:
-Is it possible to have a smaller and less boxy "cloche"?
-Is it possible to move the radar away from the cloche on fighters and in general increase its dimensions? (there is a black screen on the upside of the Buster's cockpit.... there for example)
-Is it possible to increase a bit the cockpit's outer shell dimensions? I feel a bit too confined and makes me claustrophobic.

-is it possible to add something that indicates the speed somewhere?
-is it possible to have a "target data" box (for hull and shields)? that would be quite useful

-Is it possible to have a smaller and less boxy "cloche"?

if you talk about the little screen (cloche=hud ???) at front of the buster i've cancelled this project.. for the moment because ive not a issue to render a new hud realistic

-the black screen at upside of buster cokpit is for monitor coms but u can see only the half of this screen .. its normal

Is it possible to increase a bit the cockpit's outer shell dimensions? I feel a bit too confined and makes me claustrophobic.

it's a dangerous project for me and for you too

in fact its possible but very very hard to resize all components together and it should be change all my 3d positions and scene files too
too much work to do that sry!

is it possible to add something that indicates the speed somewhere?

speed gauges are present on all cockpits (bar-shaped)

Target data are on all ships except xenons,kha'ak, M4/M5 (cw)

for cloche i meant the thing that currently has the radar on it. it is the ship's joystick/helm.

Speed gauge is not everywhere... Buster for example has double "shield and hull" bars. I didn't noticed that in M3 too. (there is only a tiny speed number on the top screen)

have you pictures to explain what you ask me

iam not sure to understand again !

someone else · Post by **someone else** » Thu, 10. Sep 09, 01:26

picture

the bars are all shield or hull, no speed bar, there are 4 bars. 2 are enough for speed and hull. I wanted to see speed too. all ships are like that.

the thing in the bottom is the "cloche", the helm, you grab that thing to make the ship change direction like you do on a car with the wheel in front of the driver.

I think that is too boxy and too big.

the radar screen on it is too small to be useful. (imho)

PSCO1 · Post by **PSCO1** » Thu, 10. Sep 09, 01:42

ok, if i resize the radar, the missiles and weapons screens wont be visible, but if u set the pilot position u will able to approach the radar from you
the speed bar is at left of the M4 cockpit ! lol
i understand "la cloche" now

Speed bar is on the lower-left, the two seperate hull and shield bars are for your ship and your target.

That actually really bothered me on The Tomorrow War (A pine scented tree that dangled from the top-left of your canopy frame).

I just tried to download 1.16. BAM! Unable to download because you just came out with 1.17 at the same instant. Nice work! Stay frosty. Thanks for improving this game.

PSCO1...WAW dude...really impresive work...I downloaded this now, didn't try it yet(i will soon) and I didn't knew that I want cockpits until i got on this post, and I was sure I don't need any mod

. Is this working 100% with the 2.1? I mean, no crashing to desktop or killing my game so hard so I need to start over? If something is wrong in time and I don't have any save from before I installed this, if I disable this mode the game will still work? Anyway, thanks a lot for this, keep the good work going
