Oh, From the choice box dest is char




inline static char dest[50]; inline static char str[50]; static bool ChoiceBox(void* id, char* str, void* data) { sprintf(dest, "%s", str); return 1; }

As I understand it. If dest =1 attach the UACS to the TCAR attachment.

Trying to figure out why this is not working. I have put debugging hints. But still no clue.

What works. is the guy opens the doors and goes to the area. open a choice box. pick 1

This is where it breaks. if 1 go to attach UMMU. I have debug hint of TCARDEST sets for different things. according to debug the guy is attached but he isn't

On the Eagle. Re redid the cockpit so it resembles the show. I added 6 MFDs.

I have the cockpit and main body set as VC and cockpit. So that when in the Cockpit you can see other meshes.

BUt in VC mode you only get the MFDS not the full screen HUD.

@BenSisko

It sounds like I need to add the thrust level,... to the vc mesh And do a fake mesh for the pitch ladders,.....

 

[Urwumpe]

What is your goal with the Eagle? Do you want to make a VC with the elements from the show? Or do you want to make a generic cockpit, that justs adds some more realistic looking MFDs to the background?

 

[gattispilot]

@BenSisko
I think what we want is a functional craft.

What I did and put working MFDS 2 on the Pilot and 2 on the coPilot side. and 2 in the center.

the VCHUD was from my Interstellar LAnder. But the rcs,..... is painted on the dash.

So it sounds like I need to put a HUD mesh.

 

[jedidia]

But... why not slap the HUD on the pilot window? Why do you need it to overlay the entire cockpit, rather than be a part of it? That's the thing I don't get here. Maybe I'm missing something embarassingly obvious.

[Buck Rogers]

I guess you need two HUDs, pilot, copilot?

Yeah, that would be my first thought.That would be a perfectly normal hud. I'm not sure if you can have two without some hacking, though. Not much experience with VCs.

Should work, but maybe look weird, when you are in the opposite seat, just like the real one.

 

[gattispilot]

Thanks. So I added a mesh group for the HUD. But I don't see anything on it.

It is the right group. If I select another group I see the mesh

static VCHUDSPEC huds = { 1,93, { -1, 1, 13 }, 0.5 };
oapiVCRegisterHUD(&huds);


So weird what were group I select becomes transparent?

 

[Boxx]

Nice interior! However, in my understanding/memories, Eagles' views to outside would rather be a hemispherical glass in 2 halves (left and right) offering a large field of view (90°x90° left and 90°x90° right), than 2 flat tiny windows, aren't they?

 

[Boxx]

Hence, a HUD similar to DeltaGlider's HUD would make a lot of sense

 

[gattispilot]

Well Technically the pilots could not see out of the windows as they are too low.

But I think what we want is a screen that shows the pitch ladder. There would be one for the pilot and copilot.

I did this for the Lander for Interstellar. But the hud doesn't display in 2016. Not sure why?

 

[gattispilot]

So is so weird. Using the DG code. But still no hud in VC. I know the DG has it. My Endurance Ranger and Lander no HUD in VC. But they do in 2010,

 

[Donamy]

This may be a stupid question, but did you press cntrl + H ?

 

[gattispilot]

No change with that. It is odd the what ever mesh group I make fo r the hud. It makes it transparent?

 

[Buck Rogers]

The stock space shuttle has 2 HUDS.
IIRC, the windows are flat (but I last watched it years ago!)
I think the dragon has the stepladder?

My concern is that the HUD inset in the windows would be too small to be of any value flying the ship.

No, the interior shape of the cockpit viewports in the original show was supposed to be slightly different from their external appearance. According to the show, they were actually monitors. We're modeling them as windows though.
