annoying towerview getting stuck behind buildings!!!

Featured Replies

Is there anyway to change the default tower view of a particular airport?Im sure im not alone here, but 5 out of 10 airports I land at, when I select the tower view, it gets stuck behind a bloody building or wall, and I miss the actual touch down.The aircraft only comes into view about half way down the run way... but by then I'm just rolling to next exit.Is there anwyay to bump the altitude of the tower view up a few feet to get over the top of the bloody buildings?I loved all the other FS's how you had freedom to move the tower to wherever the #### you wanted it via the map screen.Now it seems we can only set it to a particular airport and it uses its own fixed tower position.Its really frustrating because I (used to) enjoy watching my replayed landings, especially in tower view for the touch down :/-tibbz

That info is in the core utilities section of the SDKOr in the cameras.cfg found in the "....All Usersapplication data...."

thanks for that mate.I'll see if I can edit it ;)

hmmm, I looked at cameras.cfg and It doesnt seem to be very direct when it comes to the default tower views at airports.I thought it would be a similar format for every airport with variables for hieght etc.also I dont really know how to mess with the SDK stuff.man is there no other way to change the default tower heights at airports? why the f*k did they remove the free placable tower anyway?://////
