Hi CLS,

Is there a possibilty to make the choise of cockpit panels final ?
I know which one I want to use.. but my VC is gone several times during flight (after changes in views)

Thanks,

Dennis

I have not experiend the view changing during flight. I use EZdok and the VC is always there when I go back to it.

I would be nice, however, if it just remembered your view choice like other aircraft - widescreen VC for me.

My guess would be to go to the Aircraft.CFG and change the

Panel=(whatever it is)

to

Panel=(whatever the name of the folder of the panel you want to use)

i.e

Panel=Widescreen

i dont know tbh, i havnt seen the name of the folders, nor do i know if that will work, its just a guess

But remember, no matter what aircraft addon, scenery, panel.cfg your editing, always take a backup before and name it, e.g.

Aircraft_BUP.cfg - it wont read it in the sim untill you remove the added characters if anything goes wrong.

you'll have to wait for Albert / Missi on this one

It should be changing during flight, unless you click on it. Weird problem. I will ask Nick to see if you can edit the ini so the choice is final

I find the cockpit choices rather confusing, it seems that whichever you choose that's is the only one available. Can I ask why the default option of 2D then VC plus all the cabin/wing views is not available.

When I load the aircraft and select 2D I do not see any cocpit sides or cabin views etc. However if I select VC at startup I get the VC plus all the other view options but when I select 2D panel from the shortcut key I don't see any panel at all only scenery. However if I cycle through all the view options starting with the VC I eventually end up with a 2D panel with cockpit sides etc but the Icon panel is duplicated with the VC one overlapping the 2D version. This would be OK, although I find it annoying, but cycling through the views to the 2d panel sometimes switches off the VC which is probably what others are complaining about.

Please re-think the cockpit options.

Thanks
Phil

I'll have a think about this. We can probably use the configuration utility built-in to the product. A different config.ini would be used according to the uses taste.
I was trying to give an easy way for users to switch the panel for monitor size, as a lot of people have wide screen these days.

Hello;

I have a questio about the blank gauges on the pilot,and co-pilot view in VC(I think),was wondering if there is going to be anything added to fill those 2 blank spots.

I think the idea is pretty good. Just make it available thru a program or utility.
enabling the VC time after time get anoying after a while (happens when using the F9 and F10 keys)

I would say he means the blank space right of the VSI
