I'm trying to build a cockpit for ED for VR, but I can't get angles and lengths accurate. I have an X52 Pro to match the in game joystick, but even right there, I can't get it placed correctly. There's no information about how far apart the throttle is from the stick. There's no information about how far forward the stick is from the seatback, etc.
Eventually, I aim to build a chair (likely the one from the sidewinder) so that it can match at least one ship perfectly. I don't know how to get models of the cockpit out of the game (the method on youtube crashes before getting into game, so only the exterior models can be ripped from the game). There is, of course, the Sidewinder walkthrough video which is stunning, but I have no idea how he got the models for the cockpit itself. I know he built the rest of the interior by hand, but either he managed a great recreation of the cockpit, or he was able to get the models from the game itself.
In the end - either I could use some help finding the exact measurements of lengths, distances, and angles that the chair and the hotas are supposed to be oriented at, or if I could find out how to get the models for the cockpit - either way would be leaps and bounds better than my current method (wear HMD, look around, hand seems slightly off, move it, hand seems slightly off in the other direction, move it back, etc.)
