I recently noticed that my Virtual Cockpit and Runyway views were disabled when using certain aircraft. For example, using the FSX Freesky Project 747 these views are disabled. When I use the FS9 version, the view are available. Both of these crafts were using same Panels, Sound, and Aircraft.cfg files. I see the same results when testing on the new Freesky Project 748F, views disabled in FSX, not FS9.I read in the FSX SDK that most "legacy" models are created with an exterior and interior model separately. After some messing around, I realized that when I add an "interior" view, or model, to the model.cfg file the problem is resolved.I had also experienced the problem with the Project Airbus A320, when I added the same model for the normal and interior view, the problem was solved as well.model.cfg:[models]normal=A320_200_IAE_NoVCinterior=A320_200_IAE_NoVCDoes anyone have any idea what else can be done to get the views back without adding an interior model? I am assuming that most FS9 models do not have an interior view. Is there a reason why an FSX model would require an interior model?System:FSX Acceleration SP2 Windows 7 64-bitPS. FS9 models do not cause the issue.Cliff

yeah, there is just no VC, just ground, right? If so, you can only fly using the panel in F10 view.

FS9 models may or may not have an interior (VC) model included. That's entirely up to the modeler. In any event, there is only ONE MODEL with either an exterior or exterior+interior model included.FSX models are always seperate models; one for the exterior, and another for the interior.Furthermore, you can NOT mix-and-match FS9 and FSX models. They are totally incompatible.

Thanks for the responses. My goal is to have only an exterior model and no interior, this way the VC view will just be to look around. I've tried installing the 748 on a fresh install of FSX and have the same problem: Virtual Cockpit and Facility Runyways are disabled. I've attached a picture of what is happening. It seems like any camera that has its origin set to Virtual Cockpit in the camera.cfg file is not available. Any ideas?

If you have no interior model, then all of the cameras assigned to the virtual cockpit will be disabled.The only ways to workaround this would be to have either an "empty model" to substitute for the interior model, or......edit the [eyepoint] entry in the aircraft.cfg file to move it outside of the virtual cockpit.I've not tried this (as I have ZERO interest!), but you might try substituting the C172's interior model. Your [eyepoint] postion will be well outside of that virtual cockpit!
