VC switches/gauges problem

[jandjfrench]

Hi,

I've never seen a problem similar to what's being experienced here that wasn't due to the eyepoint being behind an invisible (from the rear) seat back. Never heard of the problem being time related.

Hi Jim,

I'm pretty certain it's not eye point position, apart from using the usual zoom, I'm not using the eyepoint move commands, apart from eye commands in the just flight Lancaster in my fs2004 I've never used them.

\I have noticed that the light switches between the 2d panels and the VC are reversed so there are errors in them, it all seems related to this Dreamliner pack as I've not had trouble with the 737-800 at all on short or long haul or any other aircraft in this same way.

The switches for battery/gen in the VC do not move compared to the 2d panel, I have also noticed that no matter which gen I am set to, that next time I load the save back, the gens are not selected, it's set to the battery, so cockpit 'state' is not being saved.

Sat night here, probably won't be on it again until Monday dinner time

Hi Steve,

I had same problem of losing mouse (clicking on things in VC ). By sheer accident , I noticed that by moving your Eye position (CTRL + ENT) or (CTRL +backspace), usually forward a little ," clicking in VC " returned to normal. It happens in all aircraft in FSX .The trick is not to move to far rearward in VC . I noticed this some years ago and I always set this first when in VC.

Hope this helps

Hi,

The problem is with the eyepoint.
I corrected it by editing the Aircraft.cfg this way:

[Views]
eyepoint=37.80, -1.55, 1.75

I noticed that my initial view in the VC was looking straight down.
I edited the Panel.cfg like this:

[VIEWS]
VIEW_FORWARD_WINDOWS=...
VIEW_FORWARD_DIR=4.000, 0.000, 0.000

A starting point anyway.

Hi,

I had similar problems.

I found that by adjusting the eyepoint position (backwards,forward, up, down) the controls were fixed.

Hi everybody,

I have had similar problems.

I think it is linked with the "views-eyepoint position" in the aircraft cfg file and also can be adjusted in flight by the"View Commands" keyboard command changes.

This seemed to resolve the issue with my aircraft.
