[MOD] Better Cockpits v0.5

[foxwxl]

Nice MOD,but a black background behind the status windows is needed, or we will not able to see it clearly in DV

[X2return]

I will look into this X2return, but ...

Thank you.
I found a way to get the MOD working at my settings.
Just redownloaded it because of the missing Version-number at the old file.
As my usual resolution is 1920x1200 i took the 16/10 (cropped) version and loaded my save in fullscreen.
I'm very glad to see about 60% more from Space! So very nice Job!

After seen the Mod working i set to windowed mode and the Mod keeps working well. Also after restarting the game, it continues - perhaps it doesn't fit perfectly but it's looking a hundred times better than vanilla one.

So, thank you again and you may excuse my grammar

I tried the 16:10 version but I couldn't see the screen for guns, shields and missiles when in a bright place like Big Hot

The big fat sun just overrides the displays completely.

Most of People using this MOD will have this problem - also the animated trademenu, sectormap and players propoerty is not visible in most cases. I tried to turn around skunk everytime staying in this sector.

And: Don't look into the sun ... it's blending

Since the introduction of the nocockpit key from Egosoft, I was wondering if you could somehow modify that view, which has no info but the crosshair and circle, with the info screens like on your nocockpit view. That would be cool.

Thanks

how to get this better cockpit to work with this 1.30 RC5 ?!?
its simply doesnt work...

can someone help?

[Fitzhugh]

Yeah, same for me.....I don't think he's keeping up on this mod anymore....shame, I really like the idea

[TipsyWunderbear]

I installed the better cockpit mod today and nothing seems to have changed. It shows up in extensions but not, apparently in the game. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Hi TipsyWunderbear

You don't need that mod three upgrade cockpits have been added since last main game update.

Just go to an engineer (Menu 2) and ask them to upgrade your cockpit to one of the upgrades at a price.

**Merged with Better cockpits thread**

[qiuness]

I tried to find the merged thread but could not,

I installed the mod but nothing has changed...also speaking with an mechanic gives me a grey out reconfigure cockpit option.

[Sparky Sparkycorp]

This thread will be the merged one, being based on multiple other threads.

I'm not surprised this mod doesnt work now because Egosoft have introduced 3 new cockpit models since it was created, and we can look around the cockpit in the current beta.

[qiuness]

I see... well i tried talking to a technician and the reconfigure cockpit option is greyed out... any ideas why?

[Vim Razz]

For that sort of ship upgrade you do still need to be in the same room (docked at the same station platform) that the technician is in.

The option should only be grey if you remote com from the Skunk or a different station platform.

is this mod still working? i'm interested in the cockpit that has all part removed

[Sparky Sparkycorp]

The mod was last updated on 25/04/2014 and the game has many updates since then (including the option to use different cockpits) so I would not be surprised if it didn't.

Please let us know if it works or not for you. As long as you backup your save first, you should be able to try it and remove it from the Extension folder afterwards without problems.

The nexus link in the first post is broken but this one will work:
