Greetings to the forum. Not sure if this can be done but I want to prune some of the views in FSX, I dont need half of the gimmicky stuff like fuel probe view or wingtip view etc etc, I just want to look where I am going and left & right !! If I could prune the views to the same as those in FS9 I would be a happy camper, can I erase views in the FSX Cnfg file ?Alternatively, is there any way to set my few chosen views to a default setting ?Would appreciate any advice & help on this.Busterbvi.

Hi,Views are in the individual aircraft.cfg files. You would need to do each one individually.

Thanks for the quick reply, thats my weekend sorted then !! out with the pruners !Do I just go to each aircraft cnfg file and delete the unwanted view lines ?Busterbvi.

I would use the ; (semi colon) method before each if the lines so you could easily add a view back in.

Jim, not sure what you mean by that, I am a bit of a newbie to this, could kindly post an example ?Thanks, Busterbvi.

[CameraDefinition.1];Title = "Left Wing";Guid = {3A09FD6C-D406-4d8f-A5CD-FA4F5E0C12ED};Description = View from the left wing tip looking at the cockpit;Origin = Center;SnapPbhAdjust = Swivel;SnapPbhReturn = FALSE;PanPbhAdjust = Swivel;PanPbhReturn = FALSE;Track = None;ShowAxis = FALSE;AllowZoom = TRUE;InitialZoom = 1.0;ShowWeather = Yes;InitialXyz = -7.5, 0.75, 0;InitialPbh = 5, 0, 90;XyzAdjust = TRUE;Category=Aircraft;ClipMode=Minimum

Thanks for that Jim, one final question if I may, I am not clear on the purpose of the semi colon.In the cnfg file, do I simply ad a semi colon before each line as per your example and delete the semi colon if I want the chosen view back at a later date ?Is it that simple ?Thanks, Busterbvi.

it's that simple... You can use "//" too, as in:-[JOBSCHEDULER]// AffinityMask=14AffinityMask=15

[CameraDefinition.1];Title = "Left Wing";Guid = {3A09FD6C-D406-4d8f-A5CD-FA4F5E0C12ED};Description = View from the left wing tip looking at the cockpit;Origin = Center;SnapPbhAdjust = Swivel;SnapPbhReturn = FALSE;PanPbhAdjust = Swivel;PanPbhReturn = FALSE;Track = None;ShowAxis = FALSE;AllowZoom = TRUE;InitialZoom = 1.0;ShowWeather = Yes;InitialXyz = -7.5, 0.75, 0;InitialPbh = 5, 0, 90;XyzAdjust = TRUE;Category=Aircraft;ClipMode=Minimum

You might do a short test and see if you can 'remove' a view by simply adding the '//' to the [CameraDefinition.1] line and not have to do each individual line. If it works for you, it will save a lot of time and some possible typos, which are quite easy to slip into you work, and even harder to find.It would look like this . . .[CameraDefinition.1] before//[CameraDefinition.1] afternothing more should be needed.Ray

This isn't my thread, and there's nothing I can add. I just felt I needed to comment that you guys who've come in to help are just what makes this forum so great for both newcommer and oldie alike.Frendly yet concise helpYou guys ROCK!

Thanks Phil!

I seem to recall, when doing dome custom CameraDefinition entries for a couple of aircraft, that FSX needed to see contiguous numbers CameraDefinition.1 CameraDefinition.2 etc.So, just commenting out the entries may not suffice. You MAY have to adjust the remaining numbers.I'm away from my sim computer for several days so can't test this but just be aware of the possibleneed to adjust the numbers.And I prefer the // method of "commenting out" lines. To me the double slashes are mucheasier to see when scanning a file. Paul

Would just like to underline what Dougal said, Jim, Paul, Raymar & Gypsy Baron, thanks for your help. This is a great forum. This issue has been getting on my nerves for quite some time and spoiling myenjoyment of FSX. I will have a go at this over the weekend and let you know how I get on.Gypsy Baron Paul, please do test this when you have chance and let me know the resultThanks again Chaps, Busterbvi.

-SNIP-Gypsy Baron Paul, please do test this when you have chance and let me know the resultThanks again Chaps, Busterbvi.

I won't be able to get to it until very late Saturday night or Sunday at the earliest. Paul

My way of 'cleaning things up' is Copy/Paste aircraft.cfg (for unwanted wiews) and Copy/Paste panel.cfg for not needed pop-ups (especially 2D Main panel, since I use Th2Go and these panels like to flicker my mouse). Then I delete that things, which I do not want. If You would like to see the results instantly, simply edit and save, then reload the aircraft.As for [WINDOW.xx] section in panel.cfg - they do not have to be continuous. But camera definitions in aircraft.cfg has to be.
