4 Kerbal Airplane Cockpit


Madrias

Recommended Posts

One of the more minor things I've stumbled into with 1.0 is that the new aerodynamics are, well, rather intuitive. If it looks like a real plane looks, then it will most likely fly like a real plane flies.

My main problem is that, while there are passenger plane cockpits out there, they tend to focus straight to airliners, or it's a one-pilot deal with no extra seats.

My request, thereby, is a 4 kerbal passenger aircraft cockpit/fuselage. Traditional pilot/copilot layout up front, reasonable visibility over the instrument panel, reasonable visibility from the side window. Two passengers, directly behind the pilot and copilot seats, each with a side window with reasonable visibility. Internal fuel storage would be highly appreciated, as would be a tail boom, if the size is increased outside of the standard 1.25m frame.

Ultimately, I'm looking toward something like the Cessna Skylane. Yes, I know, the Skylane has a prop, and we don't have props. I am fairly sure Firespitter will be updated, and thereby have no problems with the fuselage simply having an attach node on the front. Alternatively, an engine in the tail boom along with a suitable intake at the front would be fair.

I would do so myself, but I have no knowledge of 3d modeling, so I have to leave the idea up to the community.

Blender or wings3d ain't so bad once you get used to them (texturing totally sucks though that's why I just make expansions :P)

anyway the closest thing that exists to what you are asking for is the Kerbonov Kn-2 Cockpit by sam hall. It only holds 3 but it fits in a 1.25 frame, has excellent visibility, and a bed with space blankets! :D
