default heathrow tower problem

[chris49]

hi guys, so it appears that the default heathrow tower view on my fsx is on the ground next to the actual tower building. this means that most of the time, instead of seeing the plane, you are just staring at a wall.
How can i change where the tower view position is?

That tower view is horrible.........I think the only way to change it is to move the tower using Airport Design Editor or something similiar. It won't move the actual tower, but it will move the camera

If you don't have a program for this..........I have ADE and it would only take a minute to do.
Here's a top down view of the airport.......
Where do you want it?


You will have to give me an e-mail address to send the modified file to

Yes, the default tower view is off.

You can search download sites for an updated FSX 'afcad' for the default Heathrow. There is one for EGLL here, EGLL_1.zip by K Agazi, that updates the airport including the tower view. http://simviation.com/1/search?submit=1&keywords=egll&categoryId=

Or, if you have the FSX-SDK installed you can install the ADE9X airport editor and change the tower view yourself.

The scenery Dave mentioned looks pretty good........I didn't know about it. I think you'd be happier with this add-on than you'd be simply moving the camera

If it doesn't work out for ya, my offer stands
