Cockpits

It would be a awesome idea to make the appropriate cockpits for each ship, to give it more of a Privateer feel. The freelancer default cockpits sucked from the beginning, is it possible to reskin the cockpit interior for every ship?

That is one of those things we'd love to put in...
Only 2 problems:
1) Don't have anyone that knows how to make them.
2) Don't have anyone that knows how to put them in.

Nothing like a seeing those coloured HUDs again eh? I loved those, and I even loved the cramped interiors that became so familiar to all of us

[OT There was this one dude a few years back who made the news cause he remodeled his rooms to look like the bridge of the Star Trek (no I don't know which Trek, cause I'm not a Trekkie lol).

let's put it this way: I know how to make 'em, but no idea how to convert 'em.

are you guys talking about the HUD or the 3D-Cockpit in the Cockpitview ?

Post Thu Apr 22, 2004 1:30 pm

your not going to be able to edit the huds without serious changes to FL, and any change would be effected upon all fighters anyways which makes it kinda worthless to even try changing hud positions.

Making new cockpits interms of just the looks insn't too hard in theory, I mean, it's just a 3db file, which is for simpler meshes then the cmp. Just open up an exsisting freelancer cockpits 3db file in the utf editor and copy and paste the needed parts from an exported cmp file you made for the new cockpit. Never really cared to myself but, It is possible, one guy put a plush suction cup garfield doll on his cockpit. I might bother to make a cockpit for the Danrik I started... which btw, I posted it on the wing commander forums section for the reckoning mod almost 2 weeks ago if you wanted that priv 2 ship for your mod or not, but no one said yes or no.
