Hello All,
XCockpit will be the final name of the XPlane 3D dimensional cockpit PlugIn.
This plugin will allows you to make your own 3D cockpits by using a 3D Software like 3DMax, Carrara,Lightwav and all other 3D Software there allow you to export on VRML or 3DS formats.
We will publish soon the document draft to explain how make your 3 Dimensional cockpit (rules, size, ....).
After done your 3D Cockpit, you can place some aircraft instruments inside it. All are not reproduce but more and more will be available release after release. But, the most important instruments will be available from the Release.
The 3D cockpit is designed on the same XPlane objects formats (Obj7) an the instruments are also designed inside a text file.
All is very simple....
To ensure Flight Simulator creators to convert easilly the FS creation, it existe some tools that allows them to convert FS 3D Cockpit to 3DS or VRML format.
After that, just use one XPlane tool to convert them on Obj7 format and use them has your 3D cockpit.
We include OF COURSE the fantastic TrackIR, mouse move, joystick heat to turn the eyes. The best result is with the TrackIR. You can turn very quickly, very smooth, and all on natural maner.
A simple 3D cockpit mode will allows you to use TrackIR on normal XPlane cockpit. You can look up, center, down and right/left 45�, 90�, 135�.
XCockpit will be free.
Wait a bite to see first screen. We have something real nice for now but we prefere to delay first screen a bit because we are working on a VERY nice cockpit for first screenshot
Cheers,
Stef (GoodWay Team)
