XP12 v1.0: cupholders!
-
There's a snag with the cupholders - when they're in the default, forward position they block view of the station boxes in the sill panels:
But as of XP12 v1.0, they can only rotate through 120° or so, which isn't far enough and they're still in the way in this position:
Just for contrast, photos of BAe 146s with the station boxes relocated from the forward pedestal to the sill panels, the cupholders are generally swung round against the cockpit wall completely out the way:
Or removed entirely:
Can I suggest the rotation limit be fixed so it can rotate all the way to the cockpit wall - but also that this be the default position when the station box is in the sill panel?
It's not a huge deal as I think I can modify the .obj file and hide the whole thing easily enough!

Yup, easy to remove the cupholders as a DIY mod, making it slightly easier to see the station box:
