Title: Which cockpits get a rework next?
Post by: SunKing on January 28, 2005, 05:16:28 PM
I'm guessing its a throw up between the spits and the 190/109s?

Yeah, seriously, probably LW, b17 and then the 51 for TOD.

Then the jug!  Woot!

I kinda hope for a bit of rework on 190s

But even with the early artwork cockpit, the A8 is one mean killing machine. :)

She's a perfect 10.

She's pretty,

She has long legs'

She has a pair of BIG ... er...ah  Cannons

She's really fast [I have a soft spot for fast women :aok ]

She's fun to handle

She can be razor-totem mean in a fight

And the more time you spend with her, the more ya love her :)

:aok

Seeing as we seem to be on the multi-engine fighter kick...How about they next do with 110's, the Mozzie, and give us an Me-410 and a P-61 while they're at it?

i would assume it would be the 190s next.. they've got the oldest cockpits in the game now that the p51s have been redone

Oh please -  a new interior for my Wurger. Catching myself flying the Ki-84 just because it got such a beautiful cockpit!

Post by: GRUNHERZ on January 30, 2005, 02:18:54 AM
I imagine the 190s are due for a rework soon because TOD will start out as a west front 8th airforce bombing setup and because the current 190As are pretty old models.
 
I think the 109s will be among the lower priority planes for rework since they were totally redone for the initial relese of AH2.  That said I do hope that Natedog or Superfly fix the 109F windscreen problem.

One of the most used and currently most inaccurate............... Lavochkins

The Lavockin never had and artificial horizon ball and the dash we have is out of a Yak (well nearly).......

Sight should fill the front armoured glass more and it should feel pretty tight in there....about the same as a spit.

and then when HTC has re  rendered the three cannon and two canon versions separately you dweebs can ask for the 3 cannon version to be perked (slightly)

I would agree with rework on the LA7, anything to get more of them in the arena.

LA7's are my favorite target  :D

Although a Pony D always makes a nice light snack. :)

And Spitties always taste good if you cook them properly  :aok

If they ever allowed us to deploy flaps at about 250 or so in the 190, it would be heaven.  Not that I fly the 190 below 250 much.  But I think it would allow you to do a Rope-a-dope much easier than we can now.  I deploy about 1 notch of flaps at the top, sometimes two, but a higher speed flap deployment would let you bleed speed faster if you needed to get that snap at the top (when you lose lift at the top for your inside wing) faster.  Timing is everything in this game if you fly BNZ.

Fix the Hogs next.  The octagonal nose just screams for a makeover.

F6Fs have one of the most outdated looking models, plus the canopy's front arch bar is too low and obscuring the view.

I really dont mind which ever plane gets reworked. I could be egoistic and say Spits and/or Yaks as its my primary rides but they will get done eventually.

Though what Id like to see is a plane type that has alot of versions so that we get as many reworked rides as possible.

Hence Id prefer 109s, 190s, F4Us, Spits or Jugs.

But Im pretty sure that its gonna be something that will be used in the early ToD tours.

Very true. Been thinking that 190s sure deserve to get updated. Like Moose said 190s are the oldest cockpits in the game which have not been updated.

Would be a logical choise.

I'd like to see the 190s get the next update.  There are many of them in the game, they look horrible and the 190 has one of the best looking cockpits of any WWII fighter.

Fw190s next please.
Title: Which cockpits get a rework next?
Post by: Gixer on January 31, 2005, 10:52:59 AM
I'd like to see the 109's redone, especially the F4 those forward frame rails seem far to thick and obstuct alot from your forward view.

Too many a/c need a cockpit rework ...  I'd really love to see HTC team working on them.

BTW, C.205' cockpit is really ugly ;)

i say none... uless they are user friendly , unlike the ki84 and the p38ss...they look nice but the dials are far to small....

maybe time for a cockpit check box.. old or new.

[] old and gamey

[] new and more realistic

?

Post by: rabbidrabbit on January 31, 2005, 08:09:59 PM
If the dials were just 25% larger I could read many more of them..  A fair compromise?  I can't even make out the ammo counter numbers on the new 38's unless I zoom into them.  Computer graphics are still not up to real world standards so compromising would sure be spiffy.  I mentioned before having cockpit skins so one could select along these lines.  Also, It sure would be nice to skin my own cockpit that I place in a directory on my own machine.  How else can I have my fuzzy dice?  Since no one else would be able to see it there is no need to upload the skin to the server.

Well, maybe we'll get the N1K1 "Rex" seaplane fighter and the N1K1-J added.  That would help the Japanese planeset some.


Also, don't jump to conclussions too fast.  The thread Pyro was responding to was about flight models only.

I gotta say that P-47 (all of them) need re-work badly than any aircraft we have in AH  :D
Title: Which cockpits get a rework next?
Post by: moose on January 31, 2005, 09:36:18 PM
honestly, how can you guys argue for other planes other then the 190s? have you ever been in an A5? the center frame doesnt even connect to the rear of the cockpit!

the p47s are showing their age too, but in terms of when the plane was introduced i think the 190A5 is probably the oldest 'untouched' model in the game. the b17 and p51 and 109 have had their dues already so it's probably about time for the 190.

It's pretty simple, just use the .plane command, starting at 1.

The N1K2 and Fw-190s are going to be redone next, so sayeth the Almighty Old God Pyro in the AC/V forum anyway.

Well I'm glad you're thrilled, but I was referring to a flight model revamp, not the shape.
