Moving around inside airplane??

Postby sabotage » Mon Feb 16, 2004 10:27 pm

I thought this is what slewing was, guess I was wrong.  I've downloaded planes that say there are flight attendants and such as that.  I see that new panel for the 747 with the upstairs cabin the lower cabin ect.  I've seen a panel that said you could serve your passengers a chicken dinner.  My question then is this.  How do you move around inside the airplane to see all this neat stuff.  It seems as though I am strapped to the pilots seat and can not move.  What if I have to use the restroom??  Can this be done or is it just a function of the POV hat that shows you all this neat stuff??

You need a program called "Active Camera 2004" Its a great addon but it is payware (it used to be free)

Actually you can download Active Camera 2004 from the Avsim website.  I just have so I don't know if it works yet but it is there!  Just go to the library and search for active camera.  (Hope it's ok to mention another website!?)

There are also controlls to move around in the VC if thats what you mean.

In that case its

shift+enter to move up
shift+backspace to move down

Then its basically combinations of shift ctrl alt and enter/backspace  to move back left right forward.

They will be listed in the commands menu.

Yes, unfortunately ActiveCamera has gone 'greedware', as Hyperion so aptly put it!

unfortunetly the shift and ctrl +ent or bkspc will not move you out of the cockpit area..............i.e., will not take you into the cabin area.

Cheers,

At that time [1909] the chief engineer was almost always the chief test pilot as well. That had the fortunate result of eliminating poor engineering early in aviation.
