Virtual Cockpit

[Paintwagon]

I Design and use my own Panel.cfg in a lot of planes. The cockpit view shows all my gauges that I want. The tower view and spot view are also OK. However, when I display the Virtual Cockpit window, a cockpit from the original plane is being displayed. Where is this scenery coming from. In my panel.cfg, the area of "Vcockpit01", 02, etc. does not have these bitmaps. Any idea??

The virtual cockpit is part of the 3D model. Depending on the particular model you are limited in how much customizing you can do.

Hope this helps,

Thanks for responding, Joe. Is there any way of removing or deleting these bitmaps from the cockpit view??

Might be, what sim and plane are you wanting to edit?

Dennis,

I found a Falcon 7X by Peter Brun & Mario Coelho, I am assuming this is the one?

This plane has no virtual cockpit. The only way I know to add one would require having the original source code for the model. And even if we had that, I wouldn't know how to do it.

Now, in the 2D cockpit this plane does have fixed windows, meaning if you have Numlock on you can use the keypad to look around and you will see parts of the plane. Is this what you want to get rid of?

If so, open the panel.cfg in the panel folder with Notepad and find this -

[Window Titles]
Window00=Main Panel
Window01=GP System
Window02=Yoke
Window03=Throttle
Window04=ServInfo
Fixed Window31=FORWARD_RIGHT
Fixed Window32=RIGHT
Fixed Window33=REAR_RIGHT
Fixed Window34=REAR
Fixed Window35=REAR_LEFT
Fixed Window36=LEFT
Fixed Window37=FORWARD_LEFT

Add 2 backslashes in front of each instance of "fixed" so it looks like this -

[Window Titles]
Window00=Main Panel
Window01=GP System
Window02=Yoke
Window03=Throttle
Window04=ServInfo
//Fixed Window31=FORWARD_RIGHT
//Fixed Window32=RIGHT
//Fixed Window33=REAR_RIGHT
//Fixed Window34=REAR
//Fixed Window35=REAR_LEFT
//Fixed Window36=LEFT
//Fixed Window37=FORWARD_LEFT

Then close the file saving changes and you should be good to go.

Hope this helps,
Joe
