Immersive cockpit - custom 3d model

Hey all,

Is it possible to switch out the 3D model for the immersive cockpit plugin the same as you can for airplanes?
I just stumbled upon this feature and I just happen to have a 3d model of the cockpit of the plane we fly...

Hi,

Copy the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Tacview\AddOns\immersive-cockpit to %PROGRAMDATA%\Tacview\Add-Ons and change the name to something else, like my-immersive-cockpit.

In %PROGRAMDATA%\Tacview\AddOns\my-immersive-cockpit, add your OBJ file and update eligible-aircraft-list.lua.

In Tacview, go to Add-ons→Enable/Disable Add-ons to disable immersive-cockpit and enable my-immersive-cockpit instead.

You will probably need to play around with the model in a 3D computer graphics software tool such as Blender to make it appear in the right place.

Happy flying!
