2d Panel View Fix

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi all,

I have a little fix that allows a better view of the runway etc when using the 2d panel.

If you open up each of the panel folders in;
Microsoft Flight Simulator X/SimObjects/Airplanes/jf_Tristar and jf_Tristar_FMC
Panel.100
Panel.500
Panel.100_FMC
Panel.500_FMC

and look for the line in the panel.cfg

VIEW_FORWARD_DIR=4.00, 0.00, 0.00

You will find it under the [VIEWS] section. 

All you have to do is change the first number from 4 to 7 ie;

VIEW_FORWARD_DIR=7.00, 0.00, 0.00

This will rotate the view down a little so that the view out the windscreen in the 2d panel is about the same as the view in the Virtual Cockpit. This tweak makes it so much easier to see the taxiway/runway during taxi, takeoff and landing.

Cheers,

Nathan.
