IVA HUD/Glass Avionics

[Commander Wilmot]

For the IVA view, could we get better consoles, possibly as upgrades? Currently the IVA dashboard dials can be too small to make out in detail (I have a 1280 x 720 resolution for the screen on my Envy 6) it would be nice to be able to zoom in by double clicking like you can on the window in the Mk. 1 capsule. Furthermore, ultimately it would be nice to be able to get, either as upgrades or as new command modules and cockpits, or both, a control panel with glass (digital) avionics and readouts or with a Heads Up Display that would allow easier access to the information. In career mode, they could be balanced as an upgrade or module by having less weight and being better with regards to user interface with a suitable addition to the cost.

Also some selections of remote cameras would be nice, such as some drone cams for probes and satellites with a heads up display or some other way of giving flight information so that probes and satellites would have an equivalent to the IVA view; (maybe a computer screen with this information and footage from the camera so it would seem one is sitting at desk "cockpit/control panel" in the KSC?) maybe a telescopic camera for surveying terrain and landing sites from orbit with probes, satellites, and space craft, last possibly a general camera that be selected from either internal or external views for docking, looking around with turning the ship and wasting fuel, or providing a view into a ship's blind spots (especially with capsules like the mk. 1 or mk. 1-2).

Can't you right click to zoom in and look around? Or something like that. I'm pretty sure you can zoom in absurdly far, too. I think you can even zoom out kinda far, even @.,@

Either way, I wouldn't mind IVA control panels being upgraded as technology improves. Or maybe the first command pods you use have certain control panels then command pods you unlock later on have high-tech looking interiors. Would be good, methinks, if only to make it feel like your space program is actually progressing through time and technology.

I think Scott Manley said that you can see Jool from cockpit view if you know where to look.

You can use the scroll wheel and press the middle mouse button to zoom in in IVA.

On topic, I agree that IVA needs some work. For example, I'd like to see buttons for custom action groups. Probe cameras with HUDs sounds like a good idea too.

Ok, I didn't know that you could zoom in as I play on a laptop and don't have a middle mouse button so I never realized that. I guess I will have to start using my usb mouse more often. The rest still stands as having improved cockpits would be nice for the aesthetics of technology improving over time, but I also think having digital readouts would be better than reading analog dials and gauges.
