Interior Overlay

[archenemy_6]

I know a lot of people were hating on this feature before 1.1 but after playing 1.1 I've really grown fond of this feature. I am playing with a modded install but I think this feature is great regardless. What are your experiences with it?

I like it, great for a quick head count before undocking or staging (soyuz/shenzou-alike re-entry)

Super awesome with the mk1 cockpit, you can see the kerbal piloting your plane screaming his/her head off!

I like the concept and, because I rarely fly IVA, I think it's a good way to appreciate the interior details.  However, Kerbals in the cutaway are inanimate objects.  In actual IVA, they're constantly moving around as shown on their portraits but in the cutaway, they're statues.  Once I get over looking at all the interior details, I start noticing this and it just seems creepy, so I never look at it for long.

Really? Though I saw my Kerbals move?

Pretty sure I remember seeing the kerbals moving in the cutaway, myself. @Geschosskopf, it's possible it is that way for you because of some driver limitations.

I love this feature myself, especially with space stations. Actually seeing them populated from outside really brings the place to life.

Yup, with full graphics turned on the kerbonauts do everything they do in the profile pix, and in the IVA. I almost never use IVA, and I think the cutaway views are just the cutest darn things!

I do like it and for flying aircraft I think it looks pretty cool;

That is...until you bank or pan the camera under the craft and realise that you can see the overlay through all parts of the craft

But apparently this is a limitation of the way the overlay is done. It's not called and overlay for nothing, it is actually overlaid over the objects in the scene and can only be excluded by the part that it applies to.

It will have uses in screenshots: If photo-composite two shots ( 1 with and 1 w/o it) you can just look through the windows.

(actually it should have a windows-only mode)

I love it   Watching the expressions of my BadS pilots while the passengers are having a little wee in the back is the highlight of my flights. The portraits are good, but the contextual fear on their little faces is so much more entertaining.
