Virtual cockpits missing from helicopters ONLY?

Featured Replies

I can't imagine what happened, but when I try to fly my Bell helicopter and just about all other helicopters, I cannot get a VC view anymore! I can get a 2D cockpit on some, but when I cycle through the views, I can see a cutaway of the helicopter in somewhat of a spot view. NO VC! It has even happened to some other addon helicopters for some reason. This is not happening to any of my regular aircraft. What can I do to fix this? Have you ever heard of it before?Stan

Check your Zoom factor (the + and - key by your backspace key). Possibly you are zoomed out too far.

I'm not at my home computer now (where FSX resides); however, it would seem that the zoom factor wouldn't change from my general aircraft setting when I change planes. But I'll cerainly check that....I just can't imagine that is the reason, however.Thanks.Stan

Do you have EZdok?? I had to use the arrow keys to get back in the vc and resave the eye point. Happened on all my choppers.

Yes, I do have EZdok. That sounds like a possibility. That's the only thing I changed.Thanks,Stan

THAT was it! I wonder why EZDok does that? I'm back to normal. What would I do without the wonderful simmers on this forum?Stan

One last question: IIs there a way to keep the VC permanent when I finally arrow over to set it up? It takes a long of keystrokes to get the cockpit set up, but when I exit FSX and go back in, I have to do it again. How do I set it up permanently so that I don't have to go through that long process over and over again.Stanps. and I found that it doesn't work on every helicopter. On certain ones, the arrow keys don't even seem to work - no movement whatsoever. This is annoying.
