From the included readme file:

F4U-1 (Birdcage) Corsair cockpit tweaks by WxTech


Another "Not an Exhaustive Cockpit Project". The main issues addressed:

- Adjusted the angle of tilt for the rear view mirror.
- Tweaked the 6dof limits in the cockpit class.
- Adjusted the CAMERA viewpoint hooks in Body.msh. (Can be easily adjusted to taste.)
- Provide a different perspex texture, and reverse the surface normals.
- For the gunsight:
  * Add exterior surfaces for 3 sides of the reflector support.
  * Replace the reticle mask with a properly sized and circular mask.
  * Replace the reflector plate texture.
  * Add my dynamic lens reflection.
- For the Gunsight switch box (to the left of the sight), add an upper surface.
- For the canopy frame bars running fore-aft at about head height, use a new texture lacking an alpha channel, so that the Sun is no longer seen through them.
- Replace the instrument panel texture.
- Modify a number of textures so as to tone down the degree of small-scale irregularities.
- Repainted the rear bulkhead texture so as to remove the text which was prominently distorted.


A number of issues remain to fix. Perhaps at some future date?

Now the view of the outside world, especially to the rear, is improved.

In VPmod, you need to rename the folder to F4U-1A for it to work.

Hmmm... Maybe I need to suppply ALL cockpit resources. I included only the stuff I altered.

Another way in which vp modpack would seem to throw a spanner into the works; I'm sure B.A.T. and 4.12 have no such issues.

Any other vp modpack users having the same problem?

[TXZCJSP]

Not sure if 4.13 can use this cockpit
I've heard about the code change, not sure if it affects the cockpit or not.

[WxTech]

Such a displacement as you experience occurs solely due to some difference in one or both the position of the elements in a mesh or the placement of a mesh in the hier.him. Java code differences will not normally do this.

If I supplied all resources in the cockpit folder, instead of just those I specifically altered, all would be fine.

Many thanks WxTech, for your top quality contributions to our game,

Thank you Sir!

It works really well with BAT 4.2.1, and I enjoy using it.
The quality of your work/mods never stops to amaze me.

Cheers
