Thanks for narrowing it down, Darksaber. I'm a bit confused when you say it "lunges". Is is a rotation, like yaw, or is the cockpit translating -- moving laterally? I'll check what's going on...
Anyway, I've fixed the damage textures. This is a preview of the next release, so it may still have some bugs:

The preview supports MSAA and is on par with Jeremy's 1.3.8. It also supports AC and a new feature I'm coding too.

Each time you press the keypad 3 key as well as rotating right vertically, the cockpit itself rotates right on a horizontal axis
The green is how the craft rotates in space, the red is the actually cockpit rotating each time you press the 3 key
And so on each time you press the 3 key you can rotate 360 degrees to reset it you press the keypad 5 key to centre the cockpit again

Either I did something wrong, or this preview causes the game to render no geometry at all (all craft are invisible in the Tech Library, and only the background stars are rendered while in-game).blue_max wrote: ↑Sat Mar 21, 2020 7:53 amAnyway, I've fixed the damage textures.

Hello,
Open "hook_d3d.cfg" and replace "IsHookD3DEnabled = 0" with "IsHookD3DEnabled = 1".

Try adding "keyboard_look = 0" in CockpitLookHook.cfg, Darksaber. I'll try to take a look at that today.

This is the new feature I'm working on, dynamic lighting:
I'm attaching lights to the lasers so that they will illuminate the surrounding geometry. In the image above it may seem that the effect is too bright; but in reality, the light follows the laser, so it's a very brief flash that fades away quickly. Here's another sample:
The next release will have this optional feature.

Hi:blue_max wrote: ↑Mon Mar 02, 2020 7:41 pmThanks for reporting the bug, I'll fix it.
EDIT: I've fixed the problem. It was a bug in the cockpit look hook. The new version of the hook can be downloaded here:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/mz979e2q6vdgk ... 2.zip?dl=0
But I've also updated the link to version 1.1.1 above
I apologize if this is not the correct forum/tread or if it was already addresses, but I've installed the "xwa_cockpitlook-1.0.2" and I can't look to the left with the joystick hat, up/down/right work OK, just not to the left. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Hah! Sorry! Yes, I'm an idiot. I found the bug: I mistakenly typed "keypad 3" instead of "keypad 4" in the hook. I think this version should fix it:

Try using the new hook I just posted above (just rename it to "Hook_CockpitLook.dll"), there was a bug in the mapping of the keypad keys.St@rkiller wrote: ↑Sat Mar 21, 2020 8:28 pmI've installed the "xwa_cockpitlook-1.0.2" and I can't look to the left with the joystick hat

I remember playing Rogue Squadron back in the day and being totally blown away how the lasers would light the surrounding geometry. Can't wait to see it here

That looks gorgeous, but in a big fight, I hope it doesn't tank the framerate.

This is a good point. This is screen-space only to a maximum of 8 lasers (the ones closest to the camera). Distant lasers won't have any significant glow anyway, so why track them? I haven't noticed any significant drop in performance either.keiranhalcyon7 wrote: ↑Sat Mar 21, 2020 10:55 pmThat looks gorgeous, but in a big fight, I hope it doesn't tank the framerate.

Here's a couple more samples of the effect:

I may get smacked in the mouth for saying this..... I know all of you all are showing the latest cockpits and they are awesome but when will the masses (us) will get our hands on them? I really love both variant X-wing Cockpits...

Great! Thanks for the updated ddraw Blue Max. That really helped me with the MSAA/3D acceleration smoothing effect when I use the SSAO.cfg file. I did try tweaking some settings as you suggested but the frame rate is still a little choppy and edges are still a little jagged. Noise? But it's a nice improvement. I'm thinking it's just my card, it's an older ATI (AMD) Radeon HD 5670 video card and may not be able to handle these modern graphics. I'll try to post two short videos tomorrow to compare the issue with and without using the SSAO.cfg file. Thanks.

Try setting "MSAACount = 8" in ddraw.cfg (this is probably the default when using Jeremy's ddraw)
Did you try "ssao_type = Deferred" in SSAO.cfg? That option shouldn't have any noise.
