2D cockpit view

Featured Replies

Hi. In the 2D cockpit view I can remove the panel to give an unrestricted view ahead, but once I pan around about 45 degrees the cockpit suddenly pops into view. Is there any way of changing this so that I can get a full 360 uninterrupted view?CheersDel

OK, thanks, but that just pans around. Maybe I didn't explain clearly enough. What I would like to be able to do is to look around outside the plane without seeing the interior of the plane.

You mean it switches back to the cockpit after panning around outside?

[Hi There,Yeah I know what your after..I have been after a way of losing the 2d cockpit view whilst inside the plane so as you can look all around without anything blocking your view ie windows etc...in 2004 you had to delete an entry in the aircraft config i believe im just not sure if it was a general one to cover all aircraft or one which you had to do to each plane seperatley. Anyway hopefully someone will understand and help us out..gaz :(

What you are seeing is the 3d virtual cockpit when panning around in the 2d panel view.If you never use the VC, simply comment out the xxx_interior.mdl in the model.cfg file:
[models]normal=Bombardier_CRJ_700// interior=Bombardier_CRJ_700_Interior

Yes I use VC as well - is there any other way of getting round this?

Del,1. This "feature" was added with SP1. If I wanted it bad enough I wouldn't upgrade.2. There was an exhaustive discussion of this some time ago either here or at the "other" site. You should be able to track it down. It worked, I gather, but it wasn't of a sufficient need to me so I didn't test it personally.3. Since the 2D is really a VC now with the front view hidden, on the rare occasions when I want to do what you are describing I just move the viewpoint UP above the cockpit, or below, or out in front.4. you may also create an alternate camera view that is already at one of these locations (to use on these occasions).This one is 10' above the default location and you still lose the panel or instruments after 45

Hooked since FS4... now flying: FSX Acceleration on Win7/64, Core Duo E8400; GA-EP45-DS3R; GTX 460-768MB; 4G RAM; Freezer 7 Pro

Thanks Loyd, I'll check these out :(
