And that wouldnt help you since the referencer point from wich the measurements starts is so different with every aircraft 🙂 i'll talk to Wookiee about it, we'll figure something out. 

Ok, thanks for that.👍 Can you explain that in simpleton mode though? What is it that decides the default view for any given aircraft?

The Goose spawns in pilot view for me its unusual that yours is backwards.

How odd! So am I the only one this happens to? Every other aircraft spawns in Pilot view, and that's on Premium Deluxe. Re-downloading and re-installing it to the Community Folder makes no difference.🤷‍♂️

Its just position and angle from a specific point (called the Datum). Its simply x, y, z coordinates. Its in the camera cfg. Maybe try playing around with some values. You could also do it thru the devmode aircraft editor, by opening a dummy project. But surely the values in your cfg are the same as everyone else, so why its acting up i dont know. You dont have track ir or any other camera mods?

Nope, just the sim running. I can have the community folder otherwise empty and it will still happen.

I did wonder if it might be camera cfg rather than aircraft, but I wouldn't be confident about what to change and by how much.

The default view I'm getting is 'Landing' (If I use the camera window to select a different view - e.g. 'Pilot' - and switch to 'Landing', I get exactly the same view as I'm spawning with), so for some reason my default view with the Goose is 'Landing'.

This line you have to change in the cameras.cfg:

InitialXyz = 0, 0.0, 0.0

With everything zero it indeed defaults to the reference datum.

 

Edit: I'm sorry, I didn't fly the Goose yet, I can't give any valid numbers. The pilots x and z should be negative - anyways 🙂

I thought it was the Spruce Goose and I was gonna get really excited. 🤣

Thanks, that's a big help. I guess the best bet would be to copy the settings from a similarly-sized aircraft and use them as a starting point to tweak till I hopefully get a pilot's viewpoint.

I bet you'd only fly it once though.😉

Still no luck.😕

I picked the Bonanza Turbo mod's camera cfg as a starting point, and entered its 'Pilot' setting: InitialXyz = -0.025, 0.2, -0.08

No difference. Then I just put in crazy values: InitialXyz = -70.325, 0.2, -73.08

No difference. So I put those crazy values in every camera view in the entire file.

No difference. Every camera view was as it was before, not altered and not matching each other.

Seems I'm still getting CTD's using this mod after downloading the current version.  When the mod is in my community folder I get a CTD a few minutes after takeoff on every flight regardless of whether I'm actually flying the Goose or not.  When I remove the mod I do not get any CTD's.  I have only ever installed the current hotfixed version.

Mine takes off OK but after a  few seconds into flight becomes unresponsive to flight controls and veers right or left and crashes 

A work in progress for me

Great work as always Jan. Thank you so much.

Perhaps an update to the Pacific Coastal repaint? They became Wilderness some time ago....
