The Zero Cockpit Experiment Continues
Had the luxury of large blocks of free time this past weekend, so I dived into upgrading the Zero cockpit. In the stock FlightGear Zero, only the front control panel, the stick and the throttle quadrant were detailed. There’s a lot more that needs doing. Here’s where I ended up…
See full size, 1024 x 768
I haven’t started the texturing process yet, so it’s quite a bit hard to see. But still… you get the point. What’s still missing is:
There’s a large unit on the wall with many dials and toggle switches and lights on top, on the left pit wall, near the throttle. I reshaped it, but haven’t added the rest of the doohickeys to it.
And on the lower forward right there are two or three radio/electrical panel boxes and a series of pipes and conduits for the backup hydraulic system that I haven’t gotten to. That area looks a bit bare at the moment. Then, after that, I need a bunch of wiring and pipes to finish the cluttered, claustrophobic pit, and placing fuel gauges on the right panel.
I added the thin back headrest (even though it’s not really visible in game), the proper rudder pedals (the actual foot pedals need to be made wider though), and I made the seat more accurate. Oh, yes…. before I forget…. GUNS! They’re also a bit undefined, but two 7.7mm machine guns are now there in the cowl, with their cocking handles.
I’ll post more as I add the missing final elements and start on the textures.
