Hi everybody!

I have a question and I don't know if it is possible to do. I would like use the AH-1Z Viper cockpit in the other Cobras of the sim (AH-1W and Sea Cobra). Is it possible to do that? How?

Thanks for any help!

shortly - yes, it's possible.
all default helicopters use same cockpit (and avionics also), to make Cobras stand alone you should separate them in the code first. after that your model can be "adjusted" to work properly with different avionics. it's the way how you can do it if you have programming and modelling skills.
If you have no skills but have experimental interest you can replace default cockpit by modified and watch what will happen. it will affect all "default" helicopters and AH64A as well so it can't be released like final mod, but after your cockpit will be good enough it will be a reason for someone like me to start making source code changes.

Thanks for the answer!
I thought it would be like in th Strike Fighters sims, only changing some folder or editing simi .ini file. But this looks a bit more complex than that. It would be nice to have cockpit for the Cobras in one mod.

problem is - this game wasn't moddable from the beginning, so it had no flexible instruments made by developers, everything was in the code. with time engine became more "user friendly" but it's long and tricky path. maybe some day, if this game will not fall into oblivion, everyone will be able to change whatever he likes in two evenings without need to spent half year learning how it can be changed.
