I might be able go get a copy of it for reviewing in a week or so.

D*mn, I no longer worry about DCS ... it is infected by SF malware anyway.
Go for it Arneh ... it seems DCS lost much of it's attraction already, what a shame.
Thank You we have this new cockpit to look forward to (and more) !

Fair enough, i was just kidding around anyhow. Rest easy mate, theres no truth in the rumour that the CIA has deployed a unit to Norway, tasked with your arrest and relocation to an Austrian Cellar in order to complete your works on schedule

knock!! knock!! who's that at the door, quick Arneh, grab your flash drive and run mate.

I have no schedule, so that makes it no problem :p

I've worked a little more on the sides. The left side by the window has gotten some more details, including a rear-view mirror:


On the right side the pilot doesn't have to worry about falling out anymore as there is a door in place:


...though do remember to close it


Lower part of door:


Upper part of door. View to the front right is severly cluttered now!


And a wide shot of the cockpit in flight with the door and mirrors:

That is looking really awesome man!



Do the mirrors work?

*speechless* =o

*Looking for the jaw on the floor*...
Great work!

They don't show you what's actually behind you, no.

But they do change as you manouver, so if you don't look directly at them then they at least give the impression of being mirrors It's the same effect as on the cockpit-glass in external views. And the good part is that it doesn't affect frame rates, as actually working mirrors would. I just don't think it would be worth it framerate-wise to have working mirrors. they're not that useful...

Great job, Arneh. I really can't wait for release

Yeah, but at least the fan works!

It doesn't actually suck, no :p

Arneh thank you for your hard work!

That makes complete sense about the mirrors. Anything we can do to keep the framerate up is a good thing

test

*2!

Small milestone. The right side of the cockpit is finished. All the instruments which will be modeled are done, and I've added all the 3D details which are going to be there. Maybe there will be some more minor adjustments or improved textures. But apart from that the right side is done Now I just have to finish the rest too...

Had a little setback this weekend. My source code folder for some reason was deleted when I upgraded my PC this weekend. That is where I've made all the exe changes. Most of it had already checked into the main repository, so I got that back when I checked it out again. But there was some work lost which I will have to do again

A couple of screenshots from the right side which shows some of the new details (switches, dials etc) which are in 3D now.

Engine panel:


Electrical panel and right fuse panel:

Looking mighty fine Arneh! Don't let the little hiccups with files going walkabout dishearten you, we are all eagerly anticipating this baby!

Genius.

Wow brilliant!!!

And i also hate data losses. Had that two or three times in my personal PC history. So i got very anxious of my data security.

The most important data are backupped once a week or even more often, to a special harddisk, which is in use especially for that purpose, and not connected any other time.

Though, there is no absolute data security, and will never be...
