Vision Engine Question (Cockpit Position)

[JasonRocZ]

I've got a questio on Cockpit placement now I know there's a cockpit and engine within the ship file but.... I have a question on placement where are some variables on where to move it I've tried certain spots in the file but no luck.

It's been ages since I've done anything with cockpits, I hardly remember anything about them any more. However, back when I did remember, I wrote a tutorial, which you might find helpful.

Ahh I see... Very interesting Thanx Quarto

Edit: What about When let's say you switch to the cockpit and let's say for a new model....you fire your guns and notice like hey wait if the guns were supposed to be like right next to the cockpit basically parallel to the cockpit why does it look like the cockpit is above the guns shouldn't the guns looks like there lined up with me on the horizon? Maybe that helps a little bit more but hey you file is helping with actually cockpit placement items (the HUD) items

cockpit and weapon mount placement is handled within each ship's individual file (I think they use iff files). You should check out the source code from ue. They dealt with a lot of these same issues.
