Reaver Cockpit Image & Tower!

[Asp]

Looks great.. That tower looks like a small base all by itself..

Many flight sims have two different in cockpit views, one like the pic shown here with a significant view of the cockpit interior and another more "head forward" view that increases the windshield area onscreen with the cockpit panel out of sight below.

Hopefully the devs have played a few flight sims and include a similar feature.

first im a TR through and through... but the Reaver cockpit is way cooler IMO.

second, i like the crosshairs to be seperated, ever see through a helicopter pilots helmet? its the same thing.... the aircraft in PS2 are supposed to be a mix between helo and aircraft. it is the future afterall. i think the HUD works perfectly with the cockpit design

It is cool to see the way it is taking shape. Now the instrument panel looks really nice, and all the information is present even without the UI showing.

I agree. I love how the panel looks now. I am definitely going to be spending alot of time with this view.

I think everything should be present without the need for the UI. It really does look amazing.

It looks like it adds to the immersion.

I love the details of that thing: even one of the little screws holding the window in place has the metal around it worn out, as if the window's been replaced dozens of times.

Is that a moon or a planet?
Is Auraxis a moon?

Good question.. just Twittered that one.

[Reginald]

Thats no moon....
Also, agreed with the hybrid UI/hard information elements. Modern jet pilots and helicopter pilots have visor mounted heads up displays, would make sense for there to be a similar system in place in the distant future. IMO crosshairs and angle of attack indicators as well as flare/countermeasure status should be on the HUD.

Could be one of the moon-setting phenomena: e.g. when the Earth's Moon is closer to the horizon it appears larger because the atmosphere has a magnifying effect on the image.
