Does anyone know how to make or change windows views on panels??I have a window view on a panel and would like to change the view.If someone could tell me how to do this and what software is required.Thanks in AdvanceMark Oxley

Open the plane's panel.cfg file in Wordpad or Notepad. If it says alias= then open the panel.cfg file in that folder instead.Near the top should be a Views section. It should look something like this:

[VIEWS]VIEW_FORWARD_WINDOWS=0,10002,10001,10003,10004,10005,10006,10010,10011VIEW_FORWARD_ZOOM=1.000VIEW_FORWARD_EYE=0.000, 0.000, 0.000VIEW_FORWARD_DIR=9.000, 0.000, 0.000VIEW_FORWARD_RIGHT_ZOOM=1.000VIEW_FORWARD_RIGHT_EYE=0.000, 0.000, 0.600VIEW_FORWARD_RIGHT_DIR=6.000, 0.000, 45.000VIEW_RIGHT_ZOOM=1.000VIEW_RIGHT_EYE=0.900, -0.100, 0.700VIEW_RIGHT_DIR=4.000, 0.000, 90.000VIEW_REAR_RIGHT_ZOOM=1.000VIEW_REAR_RIGHT_EYE=1.200, -0.200, 1.000VIEW_REAR_RIGHT_DIR=0.000, 0.000, 135.000VIEW_REAR_ZOOM=1.000VIEW_REAR_DIR=39.000, 0.000, 16.000VIEW_REAR_LEFT_ZOOM=1.000VIEW_REAR_LEFT_EYE=-0.100, -0.200, 1.000VIEW_REAR_LEFT_DIR=0.000, 0.000, 225.000VIEW_LEFT_ZOOM=1.000VIEW_LEFT_EYE=0.100, -0.100, 0.700VIEW_LEFT_DIR=5.000, 0.000, 270.000VIEW_FORWARD_LEFT_ZOOM=1.000VIEW_FORWARD_LEFT_EYE=0.000, -0.100, 0.300VIEW_FORWARD_LEFT_DIR=5.000, 0.000, 315.000VIEW_FORWARD_RIGHT_UP_WINDOWS=39VIEW_FORWARD_RIGHT_UP_EYE=0.000, -0.250, -15.470VIEW_FORWARD_RIGHT_UP_DIR=0.000, 0.000, 50.000VIEW_REAR_RIGHT_UP_WINDOWS=42VIEW_REAR_RIGHT_UP_EYE=3.000, -0.100, 5.490VIEW_REAR_RIGHT_UP_DIR=9.000, 0.000, 147.000VIEW_REAR_LEFT_UP_WINDOWS=41VIEW_REAR_LEFT_UP_EYE=-1.800, -0.100, 5.490VIEW_REAR_LEFT_UP_DIR=9.000, 0.000, 210.000VIEW_FORWARD_LEFT_UP_WINDOWS=40VIEW_FORWARD_LEFT_UP_EYE=0.000, -0.250, -15.470VIEW_FORWARD_LEFT_UP_DIR=9.000, 0.000, 310.000

Note that the first line specifies the window idents available for the forward view. The next 3 lines specify the view out the window in forward view. The next lines specify the view out other directions of view. The last 4 sections (39-42) specify Wing Views (39-42 are key codes - these are Ctrl-Shift 1, 3, 7, and 9 (numeric keypad)). In all of these, the EYE line specifies the location of the view, in feet. The last value is forward/back, the other two are up/down and right/left, although I've forgotten which is which. The DIR line specifies the direction of view, in degrees. the last one is right/left, the other two up/down and ?? (twist?). These numbers are not all logical to me, and were derived by trial and error...Hope this helps,

Just to helpout here: the three values in the EYE= equation will position objects within the view- such as an engine nacelle: up/down, sideways and twist. Use caution as moving an object a bit too far can start to place it on another view!The DIR= equation sets Height of the view, Twist the horizon left or right, & Starting angle of the view.Each view in FS is a 45
