Removing the Cockpit Control Column
#1

I would like to remove the joysticks/wheels in the cockpit. I love flying as realistic as possible, but are forced to use the HUD in certain planes. I love to read my instruments and it is super frustrating when you cant read them (like the p38 altimeter). It is so much more satisfying when you read your dials and prevent the plane from overheating, read your compass etc. Now....

1) Is anybody willing to do this? I will try myself, but I'm the first to say I suck at modding (tried myself and failed miserably, that’s why I'm populating the new Map Mods for DCG Smile )

2) Will it be a universal mod? (Remove the movable joystick from one cockpit, and then all cockpits will be "clean"?)

3) This is not to go against people who wants more realistic looking cockpits (movable pilot figure etc) it is just for the guys that love to fly on their instruments and not pesky text appearing in the middle of the sky telling me I'm overheating or have to turn my plane every time to see how high I am (no pun indented Smile )

Help in this regard will by highly appreciated

Thanks

I do use the 6dof, but that doesnt make a difference. We dont have bipolar vision in the sim(dont know if my Vusix glasses I've ordered will sort this out), so you cannot look around joysticks, cockpit frames etc.

Is is also difficult to move the column around to read when you in critical situation(dogfight, bomb run etc)

I tried last night will all the mod goodies, but just broke my sim Smile
Maybe I'm the only one here that thought of this....stupid me :oops:

It is possible to do, but it would require a edit of each cockpit.

hmmm, realistic......planes without sticks...... hmmmm
i seem to do ok, with no text, warnings and speed bar, takes a bit of getting used to, and just one other note, when on a run or in a turn fight, i cant see what how able to read a compass would benefit...surely ones eyes would be on the target in question?

Well, some of us have mock cockpits with their own sticks, switches, etc. So, why look past two sticks? Removing the display stick is possible where eliminating the real control stick isn't a choice.

Exactly.
I have completely custom sticks/cockpit. Tried again with my modding tools and broke my sim…..again…… 

For a total sim immersion i remove,if is possible, for example, the steering wheel in the car cockpit ( two steering wheels? ). The column is pretty to see (thank you ahvala and others modders!!!) but not important in the game because i have the real control joystick! I agree, for this reason, to remove the column. God bless the AAA community!!!!!
