Passenger Windows

Postby lewlew0106 » Wed Jun 24, 2009 6:44 am

Hello All,

I am new to FSX and to this forum. I love it so far.

I am trying to find an Airbus or Boeing plane that has the ability to have views from the inside of the plane from the passengers point of view.  I have seen some in youtube but cant find any.

Can youone point me in the right direction?

Thanks V Much
Lewis :)

I thought most of the default passenger aircraft had passenger window views?

I didnt think they had.  There is no option when you right click and choose what view or i cant find it by hitting the A or S keys.

If so how do you get to it lol?

Thanks

The passenger cabin needs to be modeled as part of the interior model.. kinda like an extended virtual-cockpit.

Then, there needs to be a camera definition for it, so that it becomes one of the available cockpit views.

OR.. you can use the view keys, to "move" your current view around the interior.. but again, if ther is no interior modeled, you'd not "see" what the passenger would see.

The largest default ac to have a modeled passenger cabin is the Cessna Caravan.

For ac that do have cabins modeled you can use the default 'Eyepoint (move *)=' key commands to move around. They're listed in the...Kneeboard-Keys-View Commands or under Settings>Controls. If you have a spare hat switch you can assign movements to it.

Ac with cabins may also have camera definitions for the cabin area.

There are also a couple of utilities that allow you to use the mouse to move around: F1View (free) and 'Walk and Follow' (payware-Google to find it.)

As for ac with cabins, I can't help as I fly mostly ga single engine props.

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.
