Virtual Cockpit and View problem

Postby flyboy_su27 » Sat Jan 13, 2007 8:13 pm

I just got FSX to install properly after downloading the new 1722 fix. However I now cannot access the virtual cockpit in ANY aircraft. Also each aircraft only displays the 2d panel and one other view....I can;t select any other view. I know the virtual cockpit is there because when I look sideways or down etc in the 2d panel I can see the virtual cockpit. I've tried changing the quick keys and I also can't enable in the ALT menu or anything. Any one know how to get around this???
cheers.

Im sure you can change it from 2d panel to virtual cockpit by clicking on display. It should be around there somewhere

key commands:
S=changes group views
A=changes views within a group
W=switches from 2D to 3D
when in the 2d panel mode you should push "A" and switch to the 3d view.
I hope that this has helped some. When I got FSX, I had to get used to the new commands.

F9 should select the VC & F10 the 2D panel view.

It's also possible to choose which view you start flights with from Settings/Display/Aircraft under "Default cockpit view".

Hey. Thanks for the help, but yeah I knew the controls. A fresh install fixed the problem. It wasn't responding to any key commands....but now it's fixed :P
cheers.
