Greetings:

 

Quick query regarding the front window view position.

 

I've come form the FS9 PMDG version to the NGX so I'm used to the old position of the front window view (see more sky).

 

The NGX front window appears to show more of the runway runway than I am used to.

 

Is this the viewpoint everyone else is getting?

 

Thanks, Iain

Just move your position a little if you want:

 

Commands:

 

CTRL+ Enter, CTRL + backspace

 

SHIFT + Enter, Shift + Backspace

 

CTRL + SHIFT + enter, CTRL+ SHIFT + Backspace

 

CTRL + space =default view

Thanks for the commands :)

 

I was just curious if the window position was the way PMDG wanted it to look when they released the model - no big deal though as you can easily alter the view position, Iain

Yeah, its obvious the position PMDG wants it to be :P

To someone who hasn't used these before CTRL + SHIFT + enter, CTRL+ SHIFT + Backspace are impressive from a display POV considering what we look at is 2D.

If you're seeing it looking straight down at the runway you need to set the WideViewAspect=True in the fsx.cfg.

 

Otherwise yeah, don't compare anything on the NGX to the old NG we did - it was wrong in a ton of ways.

I use EZDock - which alows easy setting of views - I have about 5 different ones for flying the NG _ a take off __ a cruise __ a dedicated instrument view__landing view__and HUGS.

 

All mapped to buttons on my Warthog stick. Works great!

Thank You, Iain

Thank You, Iain

 

Iain,

 

Just checked your blog...... wow!

Wow!

 

Just go take a look at Iain's photography site, that's Wow!

 

He should be working for National Geographic.

The cats and especially the cheetah shots are glorious.

 

Well done, Iain!

Thanks for the kind words on both the simulator and the photography site, Iain :)
