Modified Stary cockpit for Hellcats

[+Coupi 4,388]

Hello,

 

I propose you a light alternative modification of the beautiful Stary WW2 cockpit for Hellcats.

 

Choose the "MID_WW2_Cockpit" and in the "MID_WW2_Cockpit.ini" file add these lines in order to move these parts.

 

I've moved the mirror and the front canopy and I've deleted the canopy top "connecting bar".

 

Instrument[029]=Move1

Instrument[030]=Move2

Instrument[031]=Move3

Instrument[032]=Move4

 

[Move1]

Type=AIRSPEED_INDICATOR

NodeName=mirror_frame

MovementType=POSITION_Z

Set[01].Position=-0.23

Set[01].Value=0

Set[02].Position=-0.23

Set[02].Value=0

 

[Move2]

Type=AIRSPEED_INDICATOR

NodeName=canopy_top_connecting_bar

MovementType=POSITION_Z

Set[01].Position=-8

Set[01].Value=0.0

Set[02].Position=-8

Set[02].Value=1.0

 

[Move3]

Type=AIRSPEED_INDICATOR

NodeName=front_reinforced_canopy

MovementType=POSITION_Z

Set[01].Position=-0.060

Set[01].Value=0

Set[02].Position=-0.060

Set[02].Value=0

 

[Move4]

Type=AIRSPEED_INDICATOR

NodeName=canopy_screw15

MovementType=POSITION_Z

Set[01].Position=-0.060

Set[01].Value=0

Set[02].Position=-0.060

Set[02].Value=0

 

Many many thanks Stary for your beautiful stuff!

 

Best regards,

 

Coupi.

something wrong with Geo's Hellcat pit?? (not that Stary's pit isn't great...just saying)

 

those 'grab bars' (no hand hold) would never been seen on a Naval aircraft due to 'crash protection' for the pilot ... even during arrested landings there was the danger of hitting one's head on the panel/gunsight. Having THOSE in the way increase the risk of injury

Hello Kevin,

 

Geo's Hellcat cockpit is Good!

 

I've modified the Stary's cockpit because I like to modifiy cockpits... this is very fun to test modification in this game.

 

Thank you for your precision about the 'grab bars' used (or not in the Naval aircraft) in the WWII cockpits.

 

Best regards,

 

Coupi.

geeez, these cockpits are soo dated

 

(to be fair I learned ALOT making those)

[Wrench 9,849]

you may think so, but I think they work QUITE well (ok, some insturments need to be working, but overall, they super green!!!)

ok, these weren't meant to be super accurate after all (hence generic) but now I say could be refined
