Got a nice view of my wireframe Cobra due to a game glitch ;)

[QuantumTron]

EDIT: Yeah the glitch happened (pad didn't lower into hangar) - and I didn't know about the keypresses to switch the HUD off, nor the technique to raise the pad whilst in Outfitting mode - read replies below )

So last night I was playing ED after having bought the wireframe skin (I'm weak).

After docking, I requested to enter the hanger, BUT, the platform didn't go down, however, I was still able to go to Outfitting - which enabled me to take screenshots of my Cobra Mk.III whilst still on the raised landing Pad. <--- that's the glitch

And here's a couple of screenshots:

you don't need a glitch to do those screens

Read again - it's on the raised landing pad

When you go to outfitting, the pad usually lowers into the hangar

what do you mean above landing pad?

that video has ships above hangar

So if not a glitch, how was he able to record that?

easy, turn your hud (L CTR+L ATL+G) off and send your ship to surface (comma, when you are in outfitting screen in hangar)

Press " , " when in hangar....

Ah that is new knowledge!

My pad didn't sink down in the first place, which is why I mentioned it as a glitch.

still nice shots

You might want to bump up your AA a bit, you could saw logs with those jaggies.

I have no idea why it's like that - looks smooth when I play the game.

Testing... here's a new one, using the technique above to switch the HUD off...

Nice!

Anyone know if there's a list of any more undocumented game functions/commands?

comma

Interesting....

Hi-Res versions

Righty then, figured out the screenshot stuff.

The low-res ones above were in individual folders called PiplineDump, in which there are numberous files, some of which appear to be masks, HDR versions, and other things, so I was using a different keypres combination to take those

These next ones are the proper, less-jaggy, super-Hi-Res versions, converted from BMP to JPG. Warning - they're big
