Nobunaga Cockpit (Public Beta)

1,580 Pajamas720  3.1 years ago

Another Demonstrator with the n-word title on it lol. Really its just my same ol plane with a modified Wasp/ Vertigo instrument panel. Originally I was gonna make my own instrument panel, but pretty much right after i planned this the vr mode was announced. Then the public beta for all the gauges was released, and since i didnt (and still dont) have time to make the instruments, im just gonna use the beta stuff instead. so with that, there is a whopping one handmade measurement panel and its the central console, with all others being either stock or slightly edited gauges and readings. the "Generic" gauge next to the navball and the central panel are used to track your currently selected target without the simpleplanes gui. basically its low tech radar but it works nice. The plane also carries guided bombs that can also be dumb dropped. I used 25's, because 50's will not track targets accurately unless you do the old fashioned dive bomb technique, or lob the bomb at high altitude, at least against ships.

now to figure out how to make this look good on a stealth plane :/ also, i know i ripped out what would be an important console irl. i think its to send commands either to the plane itself or to crew and wingmen, but idk so lemme know what i just threw out.

Controls (also labelled in-game):
A1: Arrest Hook
A2: Refuel Drogue
A3: Canopy
A7: AutoGun
A8: Thrust Vectoring

Panel Guide:
Left: Weapons (same as Wasp)
Center: Front Radar
Right: Speed, Altitude readings (Modified from wasp to include distance traveled and ground speed)
Bottom: Throttle, Flap and trim readings (Modified from wasp to use brake control to measure brk and vtol for wing sweep)

Gauge Guide:
Left side, read like a book: compass heading, altitude, throttle, Vertical speed, fuel.
Right Side: Radar, Navball, IAS (Max 600 Kn), GS (max 2000 Kn), Side slip.
