Where's my wing tip gone!?

Featured Replies

For some reason, when I look back out of the pilot's window from the VC, I can no longer see the wing tip!!! Not on the FO's side either. The external view of the wing is there, I'm just not able to see it from the VC. Very odd... does anyone have any ideas?

I can only see it from the Captains side in the 700. Can't see it in the 800 or 900. Don't use the 600 so not sure there but I would think you could see it from the Captains side. Which aircraft are you using?

Hi Richie, I always used to be able to see it. I have always flown the 800... maybe I'm going round the bend, but I don't think so...

Are you using Opus cams or Ezydok Howard, that can effect  your seating position. I use Opus, and can see the wing tip, but my settings are probably different to yours. Your not losing your marbles :lol:

In your performance manager for the NGX you want to have it set to high detailed VC model. The low detail option takes the wings and nose out.

Thanks!

Aha, yo da man! That's what it was! I made a few changes recently and one of those was changing the performance manager. Thanks Nick...
