I experienced a very strange phenomenon with FS2004 recently. After a fress install, when I fly any default aircraft in 2-d cockpit view, and I look at the side views, in the past I used to see a wing or a propeller or even part of the Virtual cockpit view. Now, there is nothing. In 2-d cockpit view it is as if the default aircraft does not have a virtual cockpit. If I cycle views to go to Virtual cockpit, everything looks fine. It is just in the 2-d cockpit view that all side views disappeared.Has anybody experienced a similiar situation?

FS9. cfg See_Self=1Try that, bet it's on `0`Allcott

Thanks a million AllcottYou saved me a total reinstall of FS2004. This was the problem and it is working 100% now.Thanks againRassie

Rassie and Alcott,After reading your post, I decided to check mine. (Hardly ever use the default) and it was the same, no bitmaps in 2DAlcott, your fix did it, wonder how they get that way eh?Dave T. .........On the Devon Riviera and active 'FlightSim User's Group' member at http://www.flightsimgrpuk.free-online.co.uk/http://www.captainsim.com/user/dl/c130/c130_captain.gifhttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/supporter.jpg

SUSSED!!!Some panels have an icon to remove the steering yoke.When you click on it, it changes the FS9,cfg and removes side views.Dave T. .........On the Devon Riviera and active 'FlightSim User's Group' member at http://www.flightsimgrpuk.free-online.co.uk/http://www.captainsim.com/user/dl/c130/c130_captain.gifhttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/supporter.jpg
