October 3, 201510 yr This video Jordon King explains the use of the avatar starting at 8:00. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8WBLBleUr0
October 3, 201510 yr I had to reference that video to enter avatar mode -- CTRL-SHIFT E -- would be nice if there was a built in menu option. Does anyone have a commercial pilot avatar (flying an airbus here) for use? Soarbywire - Avionics Engineering
October 3, 201510 yr Author I was able to use the Avatar in the NGX. I am not sure of what is going on with the 777. Mike Keigley

October 3, 201510 yr Author hmm, mabye I will post in the PMDG forum, or they will notice this little thread. :wink: Mike Keigley
October 3, 201510 yr Aren't you all legally required to use the avatar in a professional manner? What happened to AVSIM
October 3, 201510 yr There's an invisible box around both the ngx and T7 that stops you getting to close. With the Bonanza, the avatar only detects a collision when you actually walk into the wing. Still great for walking around the pmdg birds, but would be great if you could turn collision detection off. Oz Sim Rig: MSI RTX3090 Suprim, an old, partly-melted Intel 9900K @ 5GHz+, Honeycomb Alpha, Thrustmaster TPR Rudder, Warthog HOTAS, Reverb G2, Prosim 737 cockpit. Currently flying: MSFS: PMDG 737-700, Fenix A320, Leonardo MD-82, MIlviz C310, Flysimware C414AW, DC Concorde, Carenado C337. Prepar3d v5: PMDG 737/747/777. "There are three simple rules for making a smooth landing. Unfortunately, no one knows what they are."
October 3, 201510 yr Author In regards to the CTD when walking around the 777 I read on the FSDreamteam forums that using Avatar mode with GSX enabled will produce a CTD. I will try to verify this when I land in Sydney in the next few minutes. Mike Keigley
October 3, 201510 yr Author Confirmed. The Avatar mode works fine on my install when not running GSX. I am sure they will issue a fix soon as they aware of it. Mike Keigley
October 4, 201510 yr Saw this at AirDaily and seems the "invisible box" can be removed. Looks to be able to walk down stairs. http://www.airdailyx.net/fsnewsbreaker/?author=5610f517e4b01402b9069adb https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CQf9AMzUAAAhtwA.jpg:large
October 7, 201510 yr Confirmed. The Avatar mode works fine on my install when not running GSX. I am sure they will issue a fix soon as they aware of it. It's supposedly been fixed with a recent live update, but I haven't had a chance to confirm that. http://www.fsdreamteam.com/forum/index.php/topic,12570.0.html
September 5, 20169 yr How does one invoke this mode? CTRL+SHIFT+E to switch to Avatar mode, then Y for Slew, then F4 for ascend to the Heavens and Y again to start your free fall.
