How to change the 3D cockpit physic?

Post by FinalFrontier »

Hi all! :)

How to change the 3D cockpit look? For example the original 3D cockpit looks different to custom cockpits, where I change the data to change the cockpit? Or you guys use any special cockpit editor tool? I do not talking about the texture, I mean this 3D effect to stretch the cockpit.

I am not sure but I think your talking about the 3d cockpit model.
If that is the case you will need 3d modeling software like blender or whatever the mod makers use.

Download Metaseq, a free modelling program that's very easy to use.

Then I would recommend you download Accountants Observation Cockpit because he has included the model files (CCPIT.mqo) which you can open in Metaseq and it'll give you a good idea of the scale for use in game.

If you use the forum search you can probably find a lot of useful information on how to use the program and how to apply textures. Good luck!

Thanks soulsacrifice. : ) I might give this a go myself.
I would really like to be able to make my own cockpit or at least modify one into something I could call my own.
