1. Start off by thinning your fuselage down to .5. 2. Put your .5 length 1.5 width fuselage behind the cockpit. 3. Add the nosecones to the front and back of your fake cockpit. 4. Paint your fake cockpit. 5. Take your central fuselage size back to 2 (that is, the original size of your fuselage. Notes: .5 and 1.5 can be different numbers, depending on your desired cockpit size. Be sure to add a camera on the front if you use cockpit view. You may need to try multiple times to get the look you want.

    Fine tuner (mod) is a much easier way to do this! Still a great technique though

    I found this very helpful when I first started, and now I am using similar techniques to put realistic cockpits in fighter craft. Thanks bro.

    i have a much easier way to do this and you don't have to use a cam for cockpit view.
