What exactly I'm enjoying with the 3D cockpits thing?

Great patch ccc
hope it will be included for SP4

Have only the Mig21 tested yet and it looks nice.

Will try the other as I got the time for it

I think CCC (and the others involved) have given us a rough diamond here. If we can enhance it further in terms of shape and texture, it might become very nice 3D pits for other planes. From my side I saw the graphics can be improved quite a bit, not sure when I have time for it though.

ya, just to prove something is doable :D

BTW, the simplest way to upgrade panel texture is replacing default 256x256bmp with larger texture, like 512 or 1024 size-- yes, 1024, the same res quality as Aeyes' orginal art, damn i hope we can use large texture earlier, then i dont have to resize them down to 256!!

I unzipped the zip to falcon\art directory, it did not overwrite anything... I go to a cockpit in F-14B and see nothing else than the default 3d cockpit.

What am I missing, do I need to download some new 3d cockpit also?

na na, that file should create new folders like:

[falcon4 dir]\art\ckptart\MG21 (or F14, F18C, MG29...etc).

In each new a/c folder, there will be one small file named 3dckpit.dat.

that's it, go TE/Campaign, choose a NON-viper a/c to fly, enter 3d world, hit "3" key or other padlock view, you should got new 3d pits.

if you want non-viper pits go with their own 2d pits, grab Aeyes' pit package, unzip them into the same folder--- one folder, switching both 2d and 3d pits! :)
