Does anyone know where the original cockpit modeling thread went?
well… i just started a new one
i’m pretty much done with my exams now, they all went very well fyi 
so now that i can devote a lot more time to this stuff, things will go a bit faster again
here’s the first little update on the cockpit
ahh you see if its missing its beacause of one thing.
you only have your borwser set to display things that have been updated in the past 30 days. if its older you are gonna have to crank it up to 60 or so.
looks nice though.
JIII i just tried that,
but the old thread really seems to be gone unless i’m missing something here
It’s still there you just have to set the display to “beginning” and then go to page 2 to find it.
Interior is looking good BTW … look forward to more updates on this one. 
Is the HUD’s going to distract his view? the driver’s view? if it’s going to be part of the view, shouldn’t it be like…bigger? or smaller, if it’s not going to be part?
just a thought, and I have no knowledge of how it would go in real life, my car doesn’t have HUD’s, only D.E.N.T.S
can’t wait to see those guys sitting in there 
this is the pilot’s pov btw, looks pretty ergonomic to me 
thanks guys
well, the seats… RiceManX was supposed to send me some seat-models, but that was a few weeks ago
i guess i’ll just have to give it a shot myself now, so we can let the animating commence huh? =)
tell me if i’m posting too many tiny updates :wip:
edit
oh no… i just noticed that i modeled an old chair design… shame on me
but i guess this is a good thing because they just don’t seem to fit in
want me to find some references for more cartoonish seat designs? I might be able to find something you can use…:shrug:
EDIT: oh, sorry…
nah, kirt already designed some others (they’re in thee space ship concepts thread), i already asked him for a more detailed sketch of a final design
Great job Fist, I am glad to see so many guys working hard on thei project, now only if MaDeuce can get his stuff done (HAHA)…
Any more help then YELL at me… Congrats on the hard work:beer:
HEY StevieG-
Well cars aren’t the only thing I model!!! You guys are doing fine though, oh, Steve cough, cough…
fist - You’re still doing an excellent job on this cockpit. If I can’t get concepts to you in time, go ahead and take a few liberties with the design and I’ll let you know if there’s something that I don’t like. You’re doing great!
There are a few things that I think we can change right now though (see image below). First the leading edge of the console (red line) would probably fit the retro design better if it was consistent through the curve. You have it parallel to the bottom edge as it moves out from the center console. Try and keep the ‘V’ shape (green) all the way around.
The handgrips (light blue) can be shortened up some. Remember that our pilot alien has some really long arms so we’re going to have to make some space for him. Also, move the entire steering wheel closer to the console (purple) after shortening up the grips.
The seats look pretty good, but I still don’t like the design and haven’t come up with anything better yet. These seats are the only object in the cockpit that aren’t rounded and curved. They look out of place. Anyway, you did a good job interpreting the design. The side restraints could be angled out more and the bottom seat portion shortened (yellow) but I wouldn’t work them too much as I may end up removing them anyway.
