Hi,I would like to use a button to switch from the captain's view to the copilot's view and vice versa. I have FSUIPC. Is it possible? Or can I add the copilot view in the view cycle (S key I think)?Thank you.

I did that in the F-111 as a part of the F-111 PIG HUD project its freeware file is fxpiggb5.zip.It has a button on the glareshield of both 2D pilots side and WSO side , is window controlled by ident number inpanel cfg.CheersKarol

Following is XML code .Note the ident number must be unique and not used by another window.The same number in the XML gauge is used in the panel cfg .CheersKarol

<Gauge Name="Panel Icon" Version="1.0">//for F-111 by Karol Chlebowski @2009**   <Image Name="Icon_Panel.bmp" ImageSizes="59,19,30,30"/>   <Mouse><Tooltip>Toggle Co-Pilot's Window</Tooltip><Cursor Type="Hand"/><Click>400 (>K:PANEL_ID_TOGGLE) 1 (>K:PANEL_ID_TOGGLE) (L:Viewpoint,bool) ! (>L:Viewpoint,bool)</Click>   </Mouse>//the 400 = ident in panel cfg **</Gauge>

Please note that the command may be simplified to this:

<Click>400 (>K:PANEL_ID_TOGGLE)</Click>

If this is FSX and you are addressing the view from the VC, the simplest approach is to usea CameraDefinition.xxx statement in the aircraft.cfg file and add a "HotKeySelect=" lineto it. Then in the FSX Controls menu, define the key/button/switch you want to be the"HotKey" for that "View Select".In all my aircraft I have added 3 CameraDefinition.xxx statements and assigned the "hot keys"to the #2 hat switch on my X-45 stick. With a flick of my thumb I "move" from one VC positionto another. The 4th position of the hat switch (left) is set to F9, the default VC view whichis usually the left seat. Paul

Regards the above 'click ' code .The F-111 has a empty ( window 00 ) main panel .The left side pilots panel is at ( window 01 ) with ident 1 .The right side WSO panel is at ( window 05 ) with ident 400 .The click code cycles the panels , switching off one and switching the other on in one command and thereby preventing both appearing at the same time .The shorter and simpler code results in portions of unwanted panel remaining visible due to differing shape ofthe glareshield .CheersKarol
