Featured Replies

hey, does anyone know how to add and outside camera veiw of the aircraft as a screen on the flight display in the VC?? If you don't know what i'm talking about watch this youtube vid.

thanks
That was not part of the gauge code... it was added in as part of the movie itself.
how is that part of the movie???? it clearly shows that its a vc panel and im not talking about the the window where it show the 777 taking off.
It's an effect... like a green screen overlay.FS9 has never, ever supported a camera view and the video clearly states that FS9 was used.
ok, i have never herd of that effect before. thanks for the info though!!

I would have suggested that they might have used the "Spirit Periscope" method, except that it won't work at all in the virtual cockpit... :(

Quite a few folks tried it out shortly after FS9 was released, but once it was discovered that it won't work in the VC, all attempts to exploit this were abandoned... :(
