June 22, 200520 yr There seems to be a lot of work in depicting the cabin interiors but no way of viewing them, unless you happen to zoom through while going from front to rear view in spot plane.
June 22, 200520 yr There is a program called ActiveCamera that will allow you to zoom all around inside and out. It is payware I believe. Don't use it anymore, but it is a very good program.AdamEDIT: http://www.anticyclone.be/

June 23, 200520 yr thanks for all the suggestions! I'm sure that the long hours that go into designing interiors will be rewarded by viewing them.
June 24, 200520 yr Moderator Why not simply use the default keystrokes for moving around the virtual cabin?Look in the kneeboard key assignment list to find out what they are!Move Eyepoint Back CTRL+ENTERMove Eyepoint Forward CTRL+BACKSPACEMove Eyepoint Left CTRL+SHIFT+BACKSPACEMove Eyepoint Right CTRL+SHIFT+ENTERMove Eyepoint Up SHIFT+ENTERMove Eyepoint Down SHIFT+BACKSPACEYou would simply be amazed at how much information is already on your computer... ;) Fr.

June 24, 200520 yr Get Active Camera: it's awesome. I've bought it at the same time I bought the DF Beech A36 and I really can't live without it anymore! I even use it in the PMDG 737 and plan to use it in the Level-D 767 (which I still haven't installed...). You can look around very quickly. just as if you are there. I never used the VC in those airliners, but once you've experienced the freedom Active Camera gives, you won't be able to live without it. As a matter of speech, of course... ;) What I also like a lot is that you can make your onw view-presets! And the transition between them is really smooth: it's just like you are moving your head around. And did I mention the very handy padlock view? You can click on any spot outside the airplane and you will have padlcok view available: for instance, click on the treshold of a runway while doing a circuit and you will never lose it out of sight anymore (you can switch between the padlock view and the normal view). Also, getting traffic in sight is a breeze because you can see the traffic that's called out with a single keystroke. Etc. etc. etc.You can read all about it and download it from here: http://www.anticyclone.be/active2004.htm You can try the program unlimited ONLY at the Seattle area. But that will give you a good idea of the possibilities.And here's is the AVSIM review: http://www.avsim.com/pages/1104/acam/ActiveCamera.htm which gave it a smashing 4 1/2 stars! All in all it's a must have! :) It's not expensive too, so...And pardon my extreme enthousiasm... ;)
