Hi,
With MSFS2020, is there a way to make an aircraft invisible in the external view?
I'm using Wideview on a second pc and would like to do some testing.
For example, can we modify the textures or the model so as not to see the plane?

Thank you
Christian

Hello,

Simply edit camera.cfg to move the  cockpit cameras you want for  the plane you use.

I did use one post on this forum that explains how to. I changed left, right and up view cameras position outside the plane.
You can download samples here to understand how simple it is.

 

Example, IconA5,
left view : my settings

;===================== Quickview gauche QV1 du sim  =====================
[CAMERADEFINITION.4]
Title ="Quickviews - L2"
Guid ="{16CB84B4-0AB6-4C94-B006-8C0640D0E583}"
Description =""
...
SubCategoryItem ="QuickView4"
PitchPanRate =10
HeadingPanRate =30
InitialXyz = -7, 0.04, 1.53
InitialPbh = 15, 0, -90
...

----------------------------------------------

Up view, my settings

;===================== Quickview avant  - vue haute - Qv4 du sim  =====================
[CAMERADEFINITION.9]
Title ="Quickviews - Up"
...
InitialXyz = 0.005, 3.00, 1.53
InitialPbh = -15, 0, 0
...

 

X,Y,Z  : position de la camera (camera position values)

Pbh : angle de la caméra sur X,Y et Z  (camera angle on X, Y and Z axis)

To make the airplane which you want to dissappear you must open up it model.cfg in the airplanes own model folder and edit it by putting something like ; or // in front of the lines interior and exterior then save and start up the sim with the chosen airplane you have just modified.

Now you wont see the plane except if you look around you will see the nav lights red and green, if you see them you are in external view when you wont or see only one of them you are in internal mode.
