When adding hardpoints, you get a red box, now i know you have all the orientation tools to manipulate the red box, but it would be nice if one side of the box was a different colour to make it easier to see which way was UP if you know what i mean. Especially helpful when rotating the box as there's no way to know if you've rotated it correctly without loading up the project and checking in FL, would save a load of time

just create a revolute hardpoint and use that to get your orientation - for most equipment hardpoints you can just use revolutes - select the correct fixed hp name,then select revolute and voila - easy to see orientation

w/o an indicator i just rotate the hardpoint 15 degrees on any axis to figure out which way it points(which is sometimes backwards or sideways on some ship components,which can be confusing until you try it with revolute points)

Ok, i'll try that lol, i can see the wisdom in that but i still like my idea

Try the following keys: X, C, P and see how that works for you.

hmm, i seem to recal a version which had orient markers on it, as well as the ability to centre the view on a specific hardpoint, what hapened tothat one?

i can only say im good, nothing more...

Several of the latest versions have that feature.

Good news! A new version of HardCMP will soon be ready for testing and then release!

GAH! This program is excellent for small ships, but i make big ships and i can't see a thing. can you make it not focus on the center and be moveable or make a hardpoint at your mouse?
