Mk2 Lightning Cockpit for B9 Aerospace v1.3 (FAR drag fixed)

Mk.2 Lightning

Cockpit for B9 Aerospace

Download

v1.3

- Fixed drag issue for FAR v0.14.3.x

v1.2

- Fixed FAR window issue

- Added DRE config

v1.1

- Fixed "hatch obstructed" issue

This is a two-man cockpit made to fit well with the Mk2 parts from B9 Aerospace.

Inspired by the F-35 and F-22, the module has built-in air intakes, a fully loaded IVA and a huge glass canopy.

You'll be able to clearly see all around you. Just hope it can withstand the vacuum of space.

Accessible through the MFDs are a forward, landing, bombing, and rear view camera.

Big thanks to bac9 for texturing tips (though I will never reach his level), and ferram4 for making a FAR config.

Requires B9 Aerospace and its dependencies, of course.

Wow man, really impressive, I love it!

[SkyHook]

*head explodes* Whoa!

Can we get a stock texture? I'm down for the model and see it should fit mk2 perfectly but I don't really like b9.

Love it. I'll go right with my B9-based planes.

The shape of the connection is slightly different than the SP+ Mk2. It will take a little bit of remodelling. I was thinking of doing it so... maaybe.

Thanks, that'd mean a lot, thanks

Beautiful

My head-a explodes

haiku this is

P.S. It only works if you read it in Jim Carrey's a là Ventura's voice.

P.P.S. Will give it a go.

Sweet, the cockpit looks not only wonderful, but useful too. We needed that!

[AetherGoddess]

Well, now i have a new favorite spaceplane cockpit. the giant red IVA button is a nice touch.

On the fittings, B9 has already said they are going to match the new stock (i.e. the old SP+) mark 2 body, so making it fit that would be a good idea.

+1, to put it shortly. I cannot use B9 for a number of glitchy reasons so I would be totally thrilled if you graciously released one to match the 0.25 Mk2 parts.

It looks absolutely brilliant!

I totally agree, i want a stock/spaceplane+ texture for this, as it looks lame without b9, and b9 uses too much ram to be stable for many people.

I'm assuming it's not exactly far compatible? it seems to not beable to pull the far window up when I'm flying.

@BahamutoD - Do the intakes operate as real intakes, or are they just a cosmetic addition ?

It would be really cool if they were real :-)

Haven't tested it yet, so not 100% positive. BUT, I'm pretty sure that they are real intakes. From what you can see in the pictures, there are no other intakes on the plane, which means that they must operate as real intakes.

Pleeaase doo iitt!

[CyclonicTuna]

OMG! I'm getting so frustrated where did you get those other parts? The wings the front landing gear, I can't find them in B9!!

I'd be a second vote for this. More cockpit options would be great, but no way am I going anywhere near B9. My laptop struggles as is.

If you feel like doing it, a standalone parts pack of a cockpit or three would likely be popular.

Oh, you're right.. I'll look into it. It's supposed to be FAR compatible but I didn't notice this.

Yes, of course they are real.

The wings are pWings and the front landing gear are B9 gear with heatshielding turned on.

[Cygnus X-1]

So when I use the cockpit my plane does loops like crazy! I've been making planes forever and know where to have the CoM and CoL, what am I doing wrong? Do I need to go to KSP Spec Ed.?

[DebatedNothing]

You just don't stop do you Mr Bahamuto, so many amazing mods being made by you right now.

Thank you

[MinorInconvenience]

Not to look a gift horse in the mouth, but can we get a lighted cockpit too?
