How to access Cabin Views in FS2004?

Postby ac12345 » Fri Mar 25, 2005 8:46 am

Many of the add-ons to FS2004 include detailed views of the cabin of the aircraft (not just the cockpit but the actual cabin). However, I don't know how to access these views through FS2004. The simple switching views from Cockpit to VC to Tower to Spot, etc. isn't giving me the interior view. Does somebody know how to access these views?

Thanks.

yeah, cycling through views wont get you it. You've gotta go to cockpit view, then pull the hatswitch either straight back, back to the left, or back to the right, its normally one of those 3.

if you dont have a hat switch, or dont have a joystick at all, make sure the numlock key is on, then press numpad 1,2, or 3.

Sadly, no. When I pull my hatswitch on my joystick all the way back, all I see is a rear view of the cockpit, not the actual cabin of the aircraft. Any suggestions?

Then you need a software like Active Camera (payware) o F1view (freeware, but sadly I have no idea where it's archived).

With the help of one of those softwares you'll be able to walk inside your aircraft and even seat at a passenger seat.
There's but one real cure for human stupidity. It's called DEATH.

To do it with FS9 controls, it must be modeled into the ac..

In the VC, the key combo Ctrl+Enter or Backspace move you fore and aft. (Shift+Entr/Bksp = up/down and Ctrl+Shift+Entr/Bksp = right/left).

If the model allows you can move aft of the cockpit. Only a few ac i have allow this, in most your confined to the cockpit.

If that doesnt work, I believe your only option is to use Active Camera, available here:

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.

We use F1 VIEWS from Flight-One. If the cabin views are included with the plane, (yes, any addon) F1 View will get the job done.
