@HaydenTheGordonI’d assume this would be a feature, as most games let you hide the hud if you want to. But it would be very hard to operate with recticles and stuff...
Oh and good luck on your project, hope it turns out well!
- @HCarbonic It’s not the HUD that I worry about, it is the in-game cockpit😬 if I had a real life cockpit, and an in-game cockpit it would break the immersion. You are right that it would be hard to operate, but it might could be a different experience!
- @HaydenTheGordon Yeah, I meant the cockpit in my post. The cockpit would be the major problem, but if it’s an option to turn off it should be fine
- @HaydenTheGordon The other problem would be the advantage given to those without the cockpit, but as you said it should only be in single player to prevent an advantage. You might just want to colour in a dot and stick it to the screen for the recticle, I dunno.
- @HCarbonic I guess we’ll just have to get a hold of EA!😂
There is a simple ritual to summon our friendly neighbourhood dev... I think it’s EA_Spectre or something,
but the tag won’t come up so @Straatford87 could you clarify this over here? Not sure if this is your area of expertise though.Nevermind found it, @EA_Spectre could we have some clarification?
The easy option is VR. If you wanted to take it a step further you could position the stick and other controls in the same location as they are in the cockpit (I think people have done this in Elite Dangerous). Nothing could beat that as you would be able to look around inside your cockpit and still feel the joystick etc
- @RuStyMoNkeY96 Good idea, but in my opinion, nothing beats the real deal, which I will hopefully build
- @HaydenTheGordon @RuStyMoNkeY96 Both ideas are valid, but I’ve noticed a problem with both: with VR, unless everything is perfectly placed it’ll distort the reality completely. And with the real build, how would looking around the cockpit in game be like? That’d be sure to cause some disruption...
- @HCarbonic The plan for the real build is to build a rather big projection screen that is curved around the cockpit, so to look around, you would just tilt your head.
