Cockpit Request.

Still no news about updated Spitfire cockpits? The 109 series are very nice, but they were pretty nice originally. Every time I go to bed I pray for a nice "Spitfire series cockpit mod" :roll:

A good mod would be Translucent cockpit frame rails for aircraft.

Flying the HUD (wonder woman view) has never been much fun, and having visual ability further impaired by frame rails (especially the big ones like in the FW-190) has never made much sense to me. Flying the HUD the player loses all sense of situational awareness, and only after a little experience does the player get a feel for what to do next in air combat.

The actual view within the FW190 is probably about 20% of the viewable screen area. That just doesn't make sense.

X-Plane has translucent cockpits, which is not what I'm talking about. It is close, but I'm not talking about seeing throught the panel, sides or down below. Just translucent frame rails, which normally block player viewing.

My view of the combat sim world is like looking into a port hole as it is.

I have no peripheral vision and I can not see to the side and look back or down.

I've always thought it would be a plus to just have translucent frame rails, then you still have the situational awareness. Player would still have evidence of frame rails he/she could see through, but not clearly like glass only. Again, player cannot see through the panel, sides or bottom of the aircraft cockpit.

It would be like flying in a P51-D with discernible frame rails, yet not block the players view.

I don't know is such a thing is possible.

Regardless, I'd sure love such a mod.

I hate the claustrophobic feeling I get viewing from inside the virtual cockpits.

If the cockpit frame rails were translucent NOT CLEAR it looks to me like they would easily still be usable online. Afterall translucent is effectively a color.

Some think of this as a cheat, but I think the HUD is more of a cheat and allowed on many servers. THe translucent cockpits would also help more people to transition to full cockpits.

Hi all!

Sorry, I'm new here, so I haven't worked with any mods yet. Could you help me how to install the mods? I downloaded the wrapper from the IL-2 Modding Tools in the links. I want to install Freddy's 109 cockpit repaints. So could you write me? :roll:

Thank you again, I installed it and it works!! Big Grin
I also tried the 109's cockpits, I liked them very much!

But there is a serious problem...

After I installed the 4.09 mod patch, the DLLs and the QuickLaunchPack, the language of the whole game turned into russian... :? How could I solve it? Thanks

It's still a work in progress since some things are still missing, e.g. the damage-layers. Moreover i don't like the clock. This type of clock hasn't been used before 1943 (or even later).

Stay tuned :wink:
