100% First person view?

Sorry if this has been suggested before!

I think it would be fun to have a better ability to do entire missions in first person view.

Imagine the challenge of landing a lander using only the window and the navball/instruments.

Or imagine your big 400 tonne spaceship which currently takes about 25cm of screen space, suddenly seems colossal as you EVA from the cockpit at the front to a lander in the rear.

It could really make the game more immersive.

But the requirements for that would be a readable in-cockpit map, easier to read instruments, some way to see the distance to other ships, and a new camera part, which you would put all around the ship so you could see the status for staging etc during launch.

I don't think its likely we would get it, as it would be hard to use for novices and squad probably have more important things to do! But I can dream.

You can do the whole mission in 1st person just by switching to IVA. this mode will be expanded in the future

If you want to do a full mission in IVA, check out the mod rasterpropmonitor.

I should have known someone would think of that first!

Thanks.

IVA isnt that useful at the moment I just go in for ground proximity readings.

I'd like to see it, but they would have to add a secret thing where if you clicked on a part of the screen, you could make the kerbal walk or fly around. (Or it loads a scenario.)
