February 15, 201214 yr Okay, I've been wondering long enough... Why is the cockpit of the NGX contained in a box? Does it have to do with the HUD or something like that?-boeing247 -Bram Osterhout
February 15, 201214 yr I would imagine it works with a whole bunch of things. There is the HUD, the steam gauges reflecting clouds off their surface, and the front windshield (likely among others). It lets them work realistically.Speaking of that, does anyone know why or what purpose making the front shield an "object" was for? You can see this when you have been in outside view for a while and go back to VC and the textures/objects have to reload, and the front shield blacks out as well but the side windows don't.

And I suspect the front shield is a major FPS killer. Would love to disable that. Caio Belmock Mascarenhas de Campos
