Cycling Views in Downloaded aircraft
Hi All,
I'm slowly learning the basics of downloading aircraft but I have several questions. One of which is occasionaly I will get an aircraft and install it with no problem; it shows up in the list of available aircraft and loads properly. The cockpit view shows the panel and guages correctly but when I cycle through the views nothing else appears except the outside terrain- no cabin in the rear view or wings in the side views. The virtual cockpit does not exist, either. Am I not configuring something correctly, or is this more likely the way the aircraft were designed? Is the a way I can tell if the aircraft will have all views 'before' I download it, and if so how? I realise the views probably will not affect the flyability of the aircraft but it does detract from the immersion factor and the overall completeness of the aircraft. Thanks, Timmy |

You can add your own side views by changing things in the panel.cfg (no time
to go over it prop'ly), but unless you can get a .gmax (or whatever) version of the model, add it, then recomplie it: you're not getting a VC. MelJet's 777 V2 is excellent, tho' best with AC2002, so that you can explore the cabin! Oh, and AFV\PM2's Concorde deserves a mention as well (it even includes a virtual bathroom, flush, toilet sink taps, et all! "Gnasher" wrote in message ...

Thanks, Timmy That's because they didn't include a virtual cockpit in the downloaded files. Only some top notch 3rd party providers are skilled enough to do good virtual cockpits. |
