Cockpits

Hi there all
Just signed up ...Amazing game so much of a nostalgic feeling and it is without doubt Wing Commander once again

My only personal gripe is WC3 was the ultimate for me mainly because of the cockpit views ...Im wondering if there are any plans to add any ?

Given the amount of work cockpits are, I would say that this is highly unlikely, unless someone knows a modeler willing to put time and effort into this.
This is the reason why very few FS mods feature them, despite their awesomeness immersion wise ( Diaspora , I'm looking at you).

Ok Thanks for the reply i was thinking more static than virtual cockpits like in WC3 (Below ) they were still impressive and just added something....But it doesnt effect the game its still awsome and it certainly wont stop me playing

Really wish there was cockpit view as well. Still amazing game. But cockpit views would just Ice it off so nicely.

Well, also one cockpit for all the ships would be great, don't need to make many

I used the Vasudan Admiral's Generic Cockpit mod and it works pretty well except sometimes the cockpit shakes abit, even when nothing is happening. I have used the same mod for freespace and various mods and I've not had this issue there. I don't even notice it in combat but when it's quiet it looks odd. Any idea what causes it and how to remove the shaking?

Install with JSGME or drop the data folder into your root wcsaga folder.

Hmm, I'm not entirely sure, but I think cockpits are more sensitive to floating point errors than the HUD, making the shaking noticable much earlier => the further away you from the center of the mission, the more things shake.
I've had the "shaking cockpit" issue with Diaspora as well, so I don't think there is much that can be done about it, as that problem would have to be addressed in-engine.
