First look at virtual cockpit - short video

First look at the TrackIR enabled virtual cockpit, I even get to play with a couple of switches. All very much a WIP but we're getting there.

  1. This looks fantastic!!! Are you using the same method as BOBII:WOV when it comes to pushing buttons and Track IR? Oh and will you support frontseat/backseat play? This is in my opinion the defining features of Janes Longbow 2. Sadly many if not all sims have neglected this in the past
    anyway good luck and hope you manage to implement all that you have planned.

    regards

  2. If we don't implement the front/rear seat play then it's not the game we set out to make.

    Can you elaborate on what you mean about BOBII for someone who's not played it (I do own it, except I never got past trying to set it up in the menu screens).

    I'm open to ideas on improving the cockpit interface using head-trackers, short of a virtual glove I find it fiddly sometimes.

  3. Excellent I was really hoping for this!!

    As for bobII you lock your view with say right mouse then click buttons u wish with left and then unlock the view again with right mouse. Its by no means ideal but makes hitting the so called button hot spots easier. Just an idea would have to see it in action in a helo sim to see if it works well. Condisder bobII cockpits only had minimal knobs to twist
