I love it. Implement that + mouse look, and you can look around in that fabolous cockpit and check if there are enemies... above you (not much of a view from inside that thing ).

But I say keep the FS one. It looks just fine, if a bit weird point-of-view-wise, like the X-Wing cockpit, but I suppose that's intentional to give the player a view of what's going on.

Nice looking but would they obstruct the view. i normally remove it anyway.

I think the FS devs should do it themselves, gives them more stuff for their resumes if/when they ever apply for a professional job.

Um, maybe he enjoys modeling?

His 3D models are a superb documentation of the TIE fighter interior, and have been used in other freeware simulators like Orbiter (and are being worked on for X-Plane also).

Perhaps he would allow his cockpit to be used for First Strike as well? This might save a huge amount of work, while increasing the quality of the space experience for Imperial pilots.

Overall, First Stike is magnificent. Great work.
