Mack 10 · Post by **Mack 10** » Thu, 17. Sep 09, 11:06

Yes installed in order listed.

Have tried with and without shawns mod, doesn't seem to make any difference.

Not sure if I've merged them correctly I just renumber them and put them in, or use x plugin manager or manually put them in.

Any chance of a link to a post telling me how to merge them properly?

Thanks for the help

When you install an antivirus on your pc you install only 1 anti-virus not 2 not 3 not 4 ..
it's the same with a cockpitmod ... u have to choice only 1 cockpit mod .. dont try to merge 2 cockpitmods i dont really recommand that

if it doesn't work, try to reinstall X3tc and install my mod first .. then install your others mods

sry but my engish is too bad to explain for help you !
read tutorials on this forum they are usefull to understand

you cannot.
the game will use either one or another... it cannot load both cockpits together... why are you trying to merge them?

I installed the new update, curiously while flying in a Kestrel the mod works;
but switching to my M7 Tiger the game slows to less than 1 fps, and I get the same invisible hull as before. So I'm going to take out dust file; however now there seems to be an extra dust file. Do I still remove this: "objects\environments\others\dust.pbd" or the "large dust" file, or both?

PSCO1 · Post by **PSCO1** » Sat, 19. Sep 09, 07:24

weird ..
All my cockpits decrease the framerate of average ~3 fps but never slow down the game at 1 fps

Ive tested a M7 Tiger , all is OK on my game and i really dont know why its happens with your M7 specialy

Maybe a bad script command .. i dont know..
Maybe an overheat of your graphic card can slow down at very low fps

Also I hope you dont play with a laptop with a "old" hardware...
The most safe issue is to restart a game with a clean save
Maybe others guys can help you

In the v1.18a version there are 2 "dust" files but only 1 works when its renamed "dust" exactly
Ive keep the both because for choice a big dust or a smaller dust
But in fact the game load only 1 file if its the right path and the right name
so to active the "right" dust what u want just verify the path, it must be:
"objects\environments\others\dust.pbd"

EDit: ive you tried to add my mod as a "fake patch" ?

No, I will if you think it might work. I've even un/reinstalled X3:TC and installed patch to 2.1, MARS, cockpit mod, and Station Finance Mgr. And I almost forgot the Terran Normandy M6 mod.
Another thing I mis-stated is the problem only occurs when entering a new sector. The mod worked up until that point, as I said it was working while flying in the Kestrel, and even changing to the Tiger looked good, but entering a new sector triggered the problem. It's happened in Legend's Home, Light of Heart, Aladna Hill..
I'm running XP64, could it be incompatible? No laptop, but my graphics card its an 8800GT, and I've stepped up the fan speed to avoid overheating. I am going to try resetting all the card's clock speed to default settings, except fan speed, just to see if it's been unstable.
Thanks for your help, and thank you for the cockpit mod. It's wonderful when I can get it going.

[EDIT] Well, I guess it can be this easy. I reset my graphics card clock settings to their default and have played w/ mod installed for over an hour w/ no abnormalities. Sweet. Looks like it wasn't a problem with the mod after all.

I just tried this out and, I wonder is there any way we could get a version where the radar and hull/shield stat are left where they where like in vanilla. I'm sorry if its just me but, I can't tell the stats on my ship in a fight. I just can't seem to get a quick glance at it with out squinting my eyes other wise great mod. I like it but with those hull/shield radar positions I can't play.

ABSOLUTELY FAN-F****-TASTIC!

This mod is so wonderful, I am all choked up with tears of joy!

thanks for making this essential mod for X3-TC!

Did I mention how wonderful this is? YES, IT IS!!

Post by **Tomonor** » Tue, 22. Sep 09, 15:15

hmmm, pretty neat so far.

However, there is 1 question I might ask: are you planning to add the X3 Reunion's cockpit mod's Argon scene files aswell? Those were pretty ownage.

InSeeCure · Post by **InSeeCure** » Wed, 23. Sep 09, 20:18

It looks like that the cockpit position of the M7 Cerberus has gone back to vanilla (to the front of the ship) sins V 1.15...

Hey the Paranid Demeter is missing the cockpit... Try starting in the Pious Paranid start and you'll see what I mean.
