panel question

If this isn't the proper forum for this

I assume this is for FS9. 2D panels with side & rear view windows are intended for aircraft without a virtual cockpit or VC. The VC is part of the visual model, not the 2D panel, & not all 3rd party aircraft have one. This is what you can see superimposed on those side/rear views. It's possible to remove the VC* from most FS aircraft but unless it's really bad it might be better to do away with those extra panel windows instead. This would involve a simple edit to Panel.cfg.

*I've forgotten how this is done now but it's not difficult. I could probably find out if you really want to do it.

Sorry, I should have stated I have fs9.

The problem is that the "outside" windows are pretty large and really interfere with the view.

[Hagar]

What you're describing is the interior view of the aircraft visual model, the VC I mentioned. This is hard coded into the MDL file. No promises but if you tell me the name of the aircraft & exactly where to download the file I'll check it out for you.

In this  case that may not be possible as this is the 767-300 level-d.  I wanted a panel that had a GPS and Nav/GPS switch and that's why I downloaded a different panel.

[Hagar]

Where can I get this 767?

Ah OK. I see it's payware. I would hesitate to mess around with that anyway.

[wyodeacon]

I understand.  I like the way the plane flies and that's why I don't just download another 767 but the panel on it is pretty involved.

Thanks anyhow.

The panel does indeed look very complex. I've just read a couple of reviews of that 767 & they rave over the virtual cockpit. http://www.avsim.com/pages/0505/lvld_767/lds767.html

yeah, it's all based around the FMC.  I've tried to use it but just don't understand well enough to do it justice.  And I like the panel ok except that it doesn't have the gps.

[wyodeacon]

I got it!

[Hagar]

There you go then. Looks like we have a result.
