OK... after sitting with the tutorials for awhile, I built my cockpit, which consists of a crosshair floating in space... the idea being that in my mod, this would allow users to see a centered crosshair on their screen, allowing them to aim fixed-mount weapons.

So I built the model, exported it to milkshape, resized it according to the instructions, and centered it, using the Bretonian fighter cockpit model to get it centered.

Then I made its CMP and MAT files, exported my textures to DDS, and tried it out.

Well, the good news is that the old cockpit model is definately gone, and the game didn't crash. The bad news is that I can't see the crosshair. At all.

If someone would be willing to take their time and fix whatever I've done wrong here (and hopefully explain what I've screwed up) I'd be very pleased to add them to the gradually-lengthening list of folks who'll get credited for the mod. It's probably something absolutely trivial here, if you know what you're doing... here's a download link to the files.
