December 6, 201312 yr Hello Steve,, Thanks for your reply. I did all the processes you suggested to the letter in the 777LR/Cargo and saved it but F10 does nothing. It appears to me that some changes work in some PCs and not in others for whatever reasons. This time, he who dares, -lost. Richard Welsh. 1) F10 could be set to something else in FS, and overriding the selection (not likely unless you set it to something else, by default it's a shortcut to the 2D cockpit view) Actually, I think that the HotKeySelect= function overrides the setting within FS so that's not likely. Hi, Richard and Steve, I think I may have figured it out. The key is that Richard said his F10 key does "nothing." It should have gone to the 2D cockpit by default (looking forward w/ no panel in the T7). So: I deleted the FSX Controls default assignment of F10 to the 2D cockpit, and this made Steve's recommended modification stop working. No more overhead panel coming up. I then restored the FSX F10 assignment to the 2D cockpit, and Steve's modification started working as well -- up popped the overhead panel. So it seems that not only does the setting in the camera entry of the aircraft.cfg file override the FSX default setting -- it needs a default assignment of F10 in FSX (or maybe a different FSX assignment) to override. Richard, I hope that if you go into FSX Controls and set the 2D Cockpit view to F10, it will fix the problem (and curious to see if it does). Edit: Seems that F10 has to be set to 2D cockpit in FSX Controls to make Steve's modification in the aircraft.cfg file work. Mike
July 25, 20169 yr I can't seem to get a mini panel to come up using the 'w' function. Hello, Where did you get that from? And by the way, full names are required on this forum. Romain Roux Avec l'avion, nous avons inventé la ligne droite. St Exupéry, Terre des hommes.
July 25, 20169 yr I bet OP is expecting a 2D panel similar to NGX... the w key is used in that camera to display and hide the 2D panel. Of course there is none in the 777. Dan Downs KCRP
July 25, 20169 yr Ok, thanks. I couldn't find the link with the T7. Romain Roux Avec l'avion, nous avons inventé la ligne droite. St Exupéry, Terre des hommes.
