It's enough to make your head spin. Move your head, look at panel, keep it still long enough to move the mouse to click the tiny butt...darn I moved.
There must be an easier way than this. What about combining the mouse mode and disable TrackIR for the duration of the action? Hmmm. Not an easy one.
I cleaned the UFD font so it's less blurry, still hard to read, and the MPD screens are a more natural colour though smudge free. The cockpit has been optimised into a hirearchy to ease performance which seems to work well. I applied the pilot/cpg_root "show and hide" fix. Really helps.
More work on the mouse to cockpit interface tomorrow, and I need to nudge my MPD button labels to make them match the physical buttons. Here are a screen from today with added TrackIR 6DOF head tilt.
Agree. Font is much better and the MFD colour is really life-like. Im not telling Ive seen Apaches MFDs for real, but it just looks better. Just didnt understand that thing about CP/G_Root...:-o
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you think it's more natural, it's hard to be objective when you look at these things all day. Even the blurry font was starting to look good :)
ReplyDeleteThe cpg/root thing is just optimisation stuff I was pointing out to the art "department" (who consists of one guy).
I see. Thanks again for explaining. I also liked that blurry font. Really. It had the look of camera taken footages from real cockpits. But this one is more readable. Thanks again and good luck!
