May 8, 200422 yr I was just wondering if its possible at all to create a "virtual plane spotter" either using one of say the marshaller figures (even give him a panel and sound folder so he can appear in the FS Menu at startup. Ideally, it would give you a clear ground level view in virtual cockpit mode (as like an aircraft, with no virtual cockpit) but would have minimal frame rate impact when in spot view.(A tiny human figure as opposed to an aircraft)I am currently using viewpoint, which is a bus (The smalles visual object I know of for spot view),set to a radius of 1m, but as its meant to represent a tower view, when you go to virtual cockpit mode, it is naturally from a lot higher up perspective.(undesired in this case)Alternativly. what settings in the viewpoint aircraft config file would need to be altered to bring the view down to ground level (Say to what the virtual bus driver would see, that being an uninterupted view out the front of his virtual windshield) Hope its clear what I am asking, lol! Its difficult to sometimes explain,Cheers Chris MSI Neo 2 i865PE MainboardP4 2.8c HT/800 FSBMSI GF4 MX440 TD8x video512Mb DDR400 in Dual Channels19" Hyundai Q910 Dual ColourFS 2002
