Oh, nice catch! Yeah, I wonder if the base lights change color depending on the empire in control of it.

These latest reaver cockpits look great! Moving the HUD elements into the dashboard is really going to make flying this thing feel more real.

Like others, I do hope the mossie cockpit gets another iteration done on it. The lower half field of vision is a lot more obstructed than the reaver. And there's a lot of unused dashboard space there that could be cleared up.

Visibility issues like this are going to be a huge issue for dedicated pilots.

The cockpits are looking better with each update though, so I'm hopeful! I'm also looking forward to seeing the scythe's unobstructed 360 degree field of vision

From Chinaside:

I think this is a concept for the cockpit. Google translate isn't always the greatest...

I'm not sure if this has already been posted.

Yeah, sweet looking interior concept. It was posted last week around the same time the Mossie cockpit thread was up:

That's an amazing shot.
There's so much to see and take in.

[Eyeklops]

Absolutely incredible detail! The sun even creates highlights on the interior! Can't wait to see the scythe cockpit.

Hats off for these cockpits. One my favorite things they've shown us.

I like it.

just thought of something, how high can aircraft go in PS2?? would we be hitting the clouds high Ace combat style?

I don't think they've confirmed anything about that, but they did say there would be dynamic clouds, so I'm guessing you'll be able to fly through/above at least one layer. It may depend on the weather, too, when the clouds roll in low just before dawn.

I remember that they specified that there would be three cloud layers. That was ages ago when they were telling us about the engine and the dynamic/volumetric clouds, though, so there's no telling what's changed.

[Levente]

in one of the early previews they mentioned something about you can hide behind clouds

So far only seen cockpit views dead ahead.

Would be nice to see how you can look around the inside (because that was the idea, wasn't it?).

I'm not sure if the HUD works very well right now though. It seems to mix in with the cockpit interior because it overlays.

It seems the frame of reference is that of the aircraft, but it overlays. What could happen if you make the head of the player be the frame of reference for the projection?

Helmet mounted displays anyone?




Such a shame they didn't make these aircraft two seaters this time around. :/

Sweet. This must be the new Vanu helmet replacing the pointy one.
