it has to give realtime info about the surroundings, like in the vehicles

the minimap can be the radar in the vehicle and such

I don't think it's extensive either. It's just a small visual about mabye 500 pixels by 500? Essentialy it's just a window looking down with cross hairs, in respect to POE.

I don't think it needs to be overly extensive. Maybe a few blinking lights and dials that change and a little screen that has cool moving stuff on it. I don't think that would cause much in the way of lag. As long as the animations are short and repeated it wouldn't take much processesing power at all.

Why would it cause lag, u just read the stuff inside the vehicle, other than everywhere on ur screen

An extensive interactive cockpit won't do anything as far as adding unnecessary lag will it?

OK, I hope this is all possible, it would add extra realism to the mod, cause just pictures of a cockpit is not really my cup of tea, in BF2 they use those stupid pictures again in the cockpits

I've played POE, and the cockpit effects in the RAH-66 are really cool. If it is possible in the BF:V engine, I'm sure it is probably possible in the BF:2 engine. That is, provided that Dice didn't remove the part of the code that allowed the POE devs to put that into BF:V. I'll go over to the POE forums and ask if they're doing it in POE 2. Maybe they'll be willing to share some of their secrets with FS.

don't own those mod and game

Huh? Well again, this is probably low on the developer's list right now. They have many other things to work on. Just play POE on BF: V sometime, who ever has it, and you'll see.

as long as u wanna try it

and if somebody choose a different view, u can always go back to the old setup (just for external views)

Re: Interactive Cockpit HUDs.

I didn't say that. I'm just making sure you don't get your hopes up for something that may not be possible to do.

Re: Interactive Cockpit HUDs.

2006-02-04T10:21:59Z

so, u say it is impossible??

Just remember guys/gals, we're editing a game, not making one. There's limits to what we can do.

I'm just talking about a targeting device as seen in POE, I think reconfiguring the total HUD would be low priority, but this idea is too.

the fighters just need all the info in their cockpit, also the tanks and such instead of everywhere on ur screen
