I’ve just had a chat with SimonDR over at the Buda5 forums and looked at the starfury cockpit model (I don’t know if Simon is the creator, though). The cockpit models look incredibly easy to do. In fact, I’m really surprised that there aren’t tons of cockpit mods out there. There are a few issues that need to be cleared up though. As I suspected, the scale the cockpit is modeled at is not the same scale as the ships. My guess is that the starfury cockpit is roughly 200% larger than it should be. This may be a throwback to an earlier scale used during EoC developement (we know several of the original ships disagree in scale), or it may just be to make the cockpit fit better with the internal camera FOV. My FOV setting (which I feel to be more accurate) loses almost the entire cockpit model around the edges of the screen (because now the cockpit is too big).
Overall, I don’t think there should be any problems with using custom cockpit models.
