Title: Full View No Cockpit?
Post by: Knight on June 19, 2004, 10:39:22 PM
Simple question, becuase I can not find out how to do this.  I want to have a full view of the screen with just my gunsights and the flight data in the corner of the screen.  Can this be done?

At first I hated only cockpit, But now I love it. Makes you feel like your really in the plane and is better for gameplay.

lol, that makes no sense at all..

Lemme try, you hated it at first.. But, got used to it and find it more realistic.. But, what I don't understand... "It's better for the cockpit?" lol, I'm not even going to touch that.

when you get there ask 2 questions 1) So how many of you came here from AH? and 2) So how many of your players have you lost to AH?

I remember when AW died and we had a major influx of new players (I had got here only a month before AW died). There were a lot of requests for a Relaxed realism arena.

I suggested Fighter Ace to a few people, but everyone would get on my bellybutton on Channel 1, about my being a jerk. But I'm totally serious. If relaxed realism is your bag, Fighter Ace is your game. It doesn't suck, it just has a different target audience. It fills a void. If you want to pull a limitless Max-G turn in a Shokie, I beliueve that FA is the only place you can go lol.

No can do. The cockpit is actually inside the 3D plane.

Exactly wilbuz.

Knight, just an FYI,

The guy who makes this, Hitech, did in AW what you are talking about for here.

He then went on to write warbirds, ran into some rough business times/decisions.

Sold that, hand picked a very small tight crew, and proceeded to make AH.

You think he would make it so you could just go edit graphics files to cheat?

ROFLMAO.

Your only about 15 years late.

Accept the fact that your flying a wwii Flight simulator, that there are no hud's,
fire & forget missles,  or see through cockpits.  Stick around anyway, you might enjoy it.

If your man enough.

Hmm, guess what...there are NO "cockpit files"? The cockpit you see is actually part of the 3D model for the plane you are flying.

Heh...this reminds me of when Airwarrior III disabled the "no cockpit" view....Doody was whining about it immediately.

Well, I am sure some players have hacked/edited the ah2 files so that they have a "no cockpit" view.   It's just a shame that the rest of us have to play with it.  bah!

I usually play all types of games with a full screen view for visibility.  I feel like a racehorse being blinded by some damned piece of leather wrapped half way around my eyes.

You can't hack/change the cockpit view. As someone said its part of the whole 3d model. Than means you would have to change the whole model of the plane. Which would be hard to do and make it stable at the same time. It is a simulation.

 earthquake\n\nQuakeQuake is a first-person shooter (FPS) game that was published by id Software on 31 May 1996. It introduced several major advances in the 3D game genre: it uses 3-dimensional models for players and monsters instead of 2-dimensional sprites; and the world in which play takes place is created as a true 3-dimensional space, rather than a 2-dimensional map...
