After downloading a 3rd party airport I'd like to take a look around it and its adjacent scenery. Before, with P3D I would start at the new airport's location, then close the planes' cockpit view, and switch to Slew. Use F3 to gain a 100 feet or so AGL, then use the flight stick to move about and investigate anything of interest. Note that I'd programmed the flight stick's axis commands from P3D's Controls - slew mode page. Can I set up MFS to do something similar? I've programmed the keyboard slew commands, but that's insufficient because (a) I haven't found a way to remove the aircraft from the scene; and (b) the keypad moves the scene too far and too quickly left/right, forward/back, and without a means to change heading. So can the Drone Camera be used to accomplish the same purpose? All I've been able to find in forums and on YouTube is advice to buy an x-box controller to manage the drone camera's motion, which I have no idea how to set up or use. Is there another way to accomplish what was so easy to do in FSX/P3D, without more hardware? (I'm using a Thrustmaster "Airbus" flight stick.) -
Got an e-mail today from the Corvette Museum with information about a sinkhole inside the Skydome. Several vintage Corvettes were destroyed or damage (total damage still undetermined). The e-mail read in part: "It is with heavy hearts that we report that eight Corvettes were affected by this incident. Those cars include: 1993 ZR-1 Spyder on loan from General Motors 2009 ZR1 “Blue Devil” on loan from General Motors The other six vehicles were owned by the National Corvette Museum including: 1962 Black Corvette 1984 PPG Pace Car 1992 White 1 Millionth Corvette 1993 Ruby Red 40th Anniversary Corvette 2001 Mallett Hammer Z06 Corvette 2009 White 1.5 Millionth Corvette "The Fire Department has estimated the size of the hole is 40 feet across and 25-30 feet deep." Here are some pictures of the vehicles that went down into the sinkhole and some readerboard information about each vehicle - https://picasaweb.google.com/104141664400556036641/2014SinkholeInSkydome02?noredirect=1. They also shared some YouTube videos too as they sent in a helicopter drone to access the damage - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5Syfif2eF-PwKw8EkYQ3hW12km1LzacC. Can't believe the size of this sinkhole. It looks like they were lucky this collapse did not occur earlier as the flooring looks very thin and could have collapsed anytime. Fortunately it happened at 5:44 am this morning. My Vette remains safe in my garage.... Best regards,
