Title: Re: Problem with Cockpitview - new one doesn't show up

Hi Mark,

Thx for the info.  ;)

That info helped to solve some of the issues, but it did not solve the problem entirely... but now it is fixed! I will explain below....

  • The way I got this this to work is to use the GUID generator you provided to obtain a new GUID for the new camera section
  • then copy the existing Flight Engineer camera section but then re-number it [CameraDefinition.7]
  • then replace the original GUID with the the new GUID
  • For some reason using the title [CameraDefinition.007] like the other VC cockpit views did not work.
  • Once re-numbered/re-named ("APU View") I was then able adjust the Initialxyz and InitialPbh parameters to obtain the correct view.


Now with this setup the FE has an additional view to monitor the APU and the AUX panel at the same time. :)

Below is a snapshot of the settings in my aircraft.cfg of the CameraDefinition section and attached a screenshot of the new APU/AUX view. I hope this helps others out wanting to do a similar thing.

Thx for your help with the GUID. That was very helpful.

[CameraDefinition.005]
Title = "Flight Engineer"
Guid = {C5F2306E-A4D9-4F36-B984-8085F0B9C35C}
Origin = Virtual Cockpit
MomentumEffect = YES
SnapPbhAdjust = Swivel
SnapPbhReturn = False
PanPbhAdjust = Swivel
PanPbhReturn = False
Track = None
ShowAxis = YES
AllowZoom = TRUE
InitialZoom = .5
SmoothZoomTime = 2.0
ZoomPanScalar = 1.0
ShowWeather = Yes
XyzAdjust = TRUE
ShowLensFlare=FALSE
Category = Cockpit
PitchPanRate=20
HeadingPanRate=60
InitialXyz=0.60, 0.05, -0.70
InitialPbh=15, 0, 90

[CameraDefinition.7]
Title = "APU View"
Guid = {AFA06A0A-7341-4b1f-B486-CE3778336276}
Origin = Virtual Cockpit

SnapPbhAdjust = Swivel
SnapPbhReturn = False
PanPbhAdjust = Swivel
PanPbhReturn = False
Track = None
ShowAxis = YES
AllowZoom = TRUE
InitialZoom = 0.5
SmoothZoomTime = 2.0
ZoomPanScalar = 1.0
ShowWeather = Yes
XyzAdjust = TRUE
ShowLensFlare=FALSE
Category = Cockpit
PitchPanRate=20
HeadingPanRate=60
InitialXyz=0.60, 0.05, -0.70
InitialPbh=25, 0, 140

[CameraDefinition.006]
Title = "Galley"
Guid = {37530007-1A76-4002-8D62-6A52F7880DB2}
Origin = Virtual Cockpit
MomentumEffect = YES
SnapPbhAdjust = Swivel
SnapPbhReturn = False
PanPbhAdjust = Swivel
PanPbhReturn = False
Track = None
ShowAxis = YES
AllowZoom = TRUE
InitialZoom = .5
SmoothZoomTime = 2.0
ZoomPanScalar = 1.0
ShowWeather = Yes
XyzAdjust = TRUE
ShowLensFlare=FALSE
Category = Cockpit
PitchPanRate=20
HeadingPanRate=60
InitialXyz=0.50, 0.50, -1.95
InitialPbh=0, 0, 180
