I have now got to the point where I can load cockpits as well as planes.

So I need to set the camera to the correct location.

Anybody know what position the camera is placed at?

[just champi]

hi Stainless, normally, the base or main part of the cockpit (often called body.msh, but can have some other name)
will have some hooks attached to it, they will determine camera position:
(example is from body.msh for B5N pilot cockpìt)

[Hooks]
CAMERA <BASE> <-- viewpoint of pilot (the one you asked for)
CAMERAAIM <BASE> <-- viewpoint when looking through the sight (gunsight view in game)
LAMPHOOK01 <BASE> <-- each of this hooks marks the position of a lamplight in the cockpit
LAMPHOOK02 <BASE>
LAMPHOOK03 <BASE>

[HookLoc] <-- orientation and location of the above listed hooks

Thanks, I can grab the location of a hook very easily.

I love the F4 cockpit by the way.

I am going to extend the scripting system to allow testing of cockpit dials.
