Cockpits with radar? HOLY CRAP!

Tue Jul 29, 2003 6:58 am by Xenogear_0001

Someone brought this up in the mod announcement forum (why there I don't know) but I saw some screenies in that section of the website that show a cockpit view of things, with a radar, and three dimensional (albeit wireframe) images of ships that one is locked on to. Not only that, but the menus were entirely different, as was the reticle. I want to know who submitted these screens, and if possible, where to get the files required to accomplish what was seemingly accomplished in the screenshots.
Seriously, go check em out:

I'll feel really stupid if these are just doctored...

I'd assume they were from an earlier (and by the looks of it, better) build of the game, before some weird design decision was made to remove it.

Actually ive seen those things in the UI folder. So it could be for a new mod.

Looks cool but may be too different for some players.

Still great to see this stuff.

That cockpit actually looks very much like the one in Privateer 2 and if I remember correctly the later games in the Wing Commander series. MS probably decided that it was TOO much like the older games so they changed it.

I'm actually kinda glad they didn't implement the radar - the Starlancer one was too confusing for me ...

Try the One in Freespace. It's a lot better. I'd like to see that in Freelancer...

I don't know... it could be that Eve game or whatever... didn't much look like FL to me, though I certainly have analyzed it every time I see the commercial. The crosshair moves with the ship, and is locked in place... also the graphics look different. I haven't played many other space sims (the last one was the original X-wing on Mac) so I have no idea what it could be, but I'm pretty sure it's not FL.
