hey guys

i have a question,AXE(Airbus X Extended) has something that i really amazed with that,a VC view which named "Landing View"

this view is an eyesight,near glareshield with a great and detailed view of PFD and ND

could someone please make this view(like the pic i attached) for ngx?thanks if your answer is "Yes"!

Regards

"Landing view?"

 

When flying, your seat stays in the same position at all times (once you've adjusted it to your body). The only reason panels in the past had different views was due to convenience. The 2D panel took up too much space on the screen, so the different "view" showed less of it. In a 3D view, your visual cues around the flight deck are extremely important.

 

All that to say, you should get used to the proper (default) camera view, and figure out how to fly in it.

i see,but because of my small 13" screen,if i want to have PFD clear and visible,this is the only way

 

seems no one isn't gonna help me,PLZ!!!

You need a program that allows you to set new camera definitions. I only know of EZdok. Its a payware program developed some time ago, and support is almost 0. But personally I could not live without it, especially with the NGX. Then you can make as many new camera views you like and make keyboard shortcuts to switch views.

 

I have one especially for landings, its a HUD zoom.

 

Good luck!

Like lots of guys I have many views in the VC, with each one being easily accessed via Ezdok. Apart from separate panel views and window views, I also have a closer VC view, which is probably similar to your landing view. I simply click a button on my stick and it draws me a little closer to the windshield and brings the PFD and ND's bigger in the bottom of frame and makes the whole landing experience a little easier and clearer to view. But for evey other aspect of the flight I sit in the correct position in the pilot's seat, a little further back with a wider view.

What do you need the PFD for? Landing is accomplished through looking out the window.

FD for manual flight,LOC/GS and . . .

You can also have a look at Opus FSX which is a weather engine (more realistic than AS2012) and has camera's features more easy to setup than EZCA IMHO.

thank you stefltt,i'll try it an hour later

This is true during the flare, but during the approach, especially if you handfly the aircraft, you need to look at the PFD to check the speed, the altitude and the vertical speed on Cat I approach, or an NPA.

Except if the aircraft is equipped with an HGS, you can fly the approach by looking out the window ;-)

True, but do you really need a specific view to address this? I highly doubt that. Just look down and watch it until you transition your eyes outside. If anything, just look down, perhaps zoom in, or if you really need to, click on the PFD to get the pop up. A fully new view, though? I wouldn't exactly say that's fully justified, and is just making the process that much more difficult.

 

...it's your plane, though.

You could always just edit in your own camera view in cameras.cfg.

could someone please make this view

 

There is really only one answer to this just like Scandi426 said - EzDok (EZCA).

 

With EzDok you can set as many different views as you like as well as have the ability to move freely anywhere within the cockpit or sim world. There is also an AOA EzDok profile for the NGX that you can download which has all the views you need already preset. There are a few great videos on youtube showing how to set up and use the application which were a life saver to me at first. At the cost I would say that EzDok is a must have add on. I can't imagine flying in any virtual cockpit without EzDok - especially the NGX.

finally i made it by myself with hands:

I'd say the answer is OpusFSX, as Stéphane suggested. You get everything that EZdok has, PLUS a great weather engine. Or in fact, it's primarily a weather add-on with a great camera tool included for free :wink:. Either way, I'm enjoying Opus big time and wouldn't want to miss it. Had REX plus EZdok before, now I dumped them both for Opus.
