Dude that looks absolutely awesome! I love the dashboard section with the borderless monitors, the controls below and the console on top. Great work!

WHOA, slow down Viper! Thanks, but ALL the credit goes to yourself and 'Maximilien', I only mixed the aspects of each component (CP/HUD/UI) and converted a few file formats and text values where necessary for v2.X compatibility. The only work involved for myself was play testing the components until I was satisfied w/ the results and I had verified compatibility. The real thanks goes to you and Max for the actual work involved, and sharing it w/ the community.

Well I'm pretty sure you designed those 3 central monitors that way, and I don't think Max's cockpit had those small joysticks, or those graphics on the lower dashboard section, did it? I really like those borderless monitors you got there, makes me think about bringing out a Silicum v3 with a similar style lol.

That is, in fact, Max's most recent cockpit, which can be referenced HERE. The images are non-functional, but that's where I found it.

Love it , matches the SX3 nicely. Love how you can see through the floor in some spots, reminds you that you're in space. When flying in 3rd person there are the 3 console boxes visable , is there a fix for that ?

I don't fly in 3rd person, but I'll take a look when I get some free time.

Simply extract the contents of the *.zip > " ... \\Evochron Mercenary".

It could be a default hud element , i've been looking around it could be a shaders on the old ccpit , i don't know what they would be called but if its made transparent it would solve the issue. if you know off you head i could do it with some trial and error. I know it isn't there in the hud folder because it hasn't been changed

hope it helps. - An even better solution would be to make one that matches your consoles in a later version perhaps.

You can switch off the monitors with your 'h' key, but the shadows you can't switch off. They're memory generated and if you really want to get rid of them, what you could do is move them down so far that they're out of view.

That's awesome, one of the best I've seen so far! Gotta get me one of those!!!! Nice one dude!

8rennus · Post by **8rennus** » Mon Dec 10, 2012 7:07 pm

I'm currently modifying Viper's User Interface to color match the HUD. I'll post an official update as soon as I'm satisfied w/ the results.

How would i do this?

Refer to lines 19-27 in the gauges.txt file option to move the shadows off-screen as desired.

This is awesome! Love all the little details (like the controls and switches and such). Looks very sleek.

Looks Beautiful! Can't wait to try it out.

Bit late, but added both your mods to the mods list in the resources thread mate.

8rennus · Post by **8rennus** » Wed Dec 12, 2012 7:03 pm

Thanks Viper. If you haven't already, consider adding (No) Sound in Space v2.5 (EM v2.X/AA), it's the one project for EM/AA that I've spent the most time developing. I'm also workin' on a project that will add high resolution nebula image replacements for EM v2.X.

Viper · Post by **Viper** » Wed Dec 12, 2012 10:58 pm

Sorted mate, must have missed that one too.

Frost N7 · Post by **Frost N7** » Sat Dec 15, 2012 6:22 pm

Hey the Left console is just a tad bit too far to the left , fix?

Viper · Post by **Viper** » Sat Dec 15, 2012 6:25 pm

I have been looking for this version of Maximillien's cockpit, but haven't been able to find it. It seems that the versions still available on the forum are older ones. Could you help me out and put it up somewhere, 8rennus?

Frost N7 · Post by **Frost N7** » Sat Dec 15, 2012 7:42 pm

I've fixed the left hud , its all lined up now .
