Title: Window seat
Post by pj747 on Apr 14th, 2011 at 11:07pm
Does anybody (Markoz) have the proper coordinates for a window seat in the 767-300, for business class?

Well, I'm not Mark and I don't have coordinates (I'll look for some when I have time)...  ;) but you know how to move the viewpoint while in FSX, right?

I know where to do it. Will probably get ezdok though.

No, I mean change the viewpoint with key commands while you're flying the plane.  ;)

I know I told someone how to change the location from the aisle seat to the window seat a while back. I'll look it up and post the link here if I find it. If not, I'll redo it and post the result here anyway. :)

Hi pj747.

Business Class window seat:

[CameraDefinition.008]
Title = "Business Class Cabin"
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 = .3
SmoothZoomTime = 2.0
ZoomPanScalar = 1.0
ShowWeather = Yes
XyzAdjust = TRUE
ShowLensFlare=FALSE
Category = Cockpit
PitchPanRate=30
HeadingPanRate=75
PanAcceleratorTime=0
//InitialXyz=1.20, 0.20, -7.00
//InitialPbh=13, 0, 200
InitialXyz=2.47, -0.5, -7.00
InitialPbh=0, 0, 90
xyzRate=0.5


Coach Class window seat:

[CameraDefinition.010]
Title = "Coach Class Cabin"
Guid = {FDADCBDB-0D5A-41B9-BBC1-5BF18E74A443}
Origin = Virtual Cockpit
MomentumEffect = YES
SnapPbhAdjust = Swivel
SnapPbhReturn = False
PanPbhAdjust = Swivel
PanPbhReturn = False
Track = None
ShowAxis = YES
AllowZoom = TRUE
InitialZoom = .3
SmoothZoomTime = 2.0
ZoomPanScalar = 1.0
ShowWeather = Yes
XyzAdjust = TRUE
ShowLensFlare=FALSE
Category = Cockpit
PitchPanRate=30
HeadingPanRate=75
PanAcceleratorTime=0
//InitialXyz=1.40, 0.1, -41.00
//InitialPbh=2,0,0
InitialXyz=2.47, -0.5, -39.79
InitialPbh=0,0,90


Red text = add the // at the begining of the line (comment it out) so is isn't read by FSX. It can be deleted if you prefer. Back up the original aircraft.cfg FIRST!
Blue text = the new location (first line) and the view is set to 90o right to look out the window (second line).

Would it be possible, with basic tweaking to those codes (change title, change camera Definition Numbers ), to make a completely new view from that position?

Yes it is. Be aware that for each new CameraDefinition.xxx you need to have a new GUID. I get them from here: http://www.guidgenerator.com/online-guid-generator.aspx

[CameraDefinition.008] as a general rule, but not a must do, the [CameraDefinition.x] is used for external views and [CameraDefinition.xxx] for internal (VC) views.
Title = "Business Class Cabin" this is the window name, it appears in the top right hand side of the screen when the view is first entered
Guid = {37530007-1A76-4002-8D62-6A52F7880DB2} the GUID must be enclosed in these { } type of brackets
Origin = Virtual Cockpit Interior views always have Virtual Cockpit as the Origin, while external views always have Center as the Origin.


InitialXyz=2.47, -0.5, -7.00 as far as I am aware, this is the location of the view in relation to the "eyepoint" location listed in the [views] section of the aircraft.cfg
InitialPbh=0, 0, 90 P=pitch (tilt up/down), b=bank (tilt left/right) & h=heading (turn left/right). So 0,0,90 would mean your head is NOT tilting forwards, backwards nor tilting to the left or right, but you are looking 90o to the right the nose of the aircraft

Hope this helps.

Yes, it does. Thank you Markoz. ;)

Hye Markoz, do you have one for the business class cabin that isn't the bulkhead?

I don't know if Markoz has the codes, but I do. Here they are:

[CameraDefinition.009]
Title = "Business Class Cabin Window"
Guid = {006e6e15-ecfe-4913-86ff-b8d4209ff67a}
Origin = Virtual Cockpit
MomentumEffect = YES
SnapPbhAdjust = Swivel
SnapPbhReturn = False
PanPbhAdjust = Swivel
PanPbhReturn = False
Track = None
ShowAxis = YES
AllowZoom = TRUE
InitialZoom = .3
SmoothZoomTime = 2.0
ZoomPanScalar = 1.0
ShowWeather = Yes
XyzAdjust = TRUE
ShowLensFlare=FALSE
Category = Cockpit
PitchPanRate=30
HeadingPanRate=75
PanAcceleratorTime=0
InitialXyz=2.47, -0.5, -8.25
InitialPbh=0, 0, 90
xyzRate=0.5

I have highlighted in blue what to change for just the window. I've highlighted in red what to change for a completely new view.  
Note: I'm using the window as a different view, so it has a different title, GUID, and Camera def. number. You could do this too, just remember two things: if you put this code in the middle of the others, number the rest so they stay in order. Also, always back up the aircraft.cfg. Hope these help! ;)

If you move the viewpoint while flying, is there a way to find your xyz coordinates so you can use those to create a new viewpoint (so you wouldn't have to guess where it is)?

The only way I know of doing that, but haven't used, is using EZdok Camera Addon (EZCA). You can by it from Flight1 for $US34.95. I own a copy, but it isn't installed at the moment. From memory, when you save a location in the VC/Cabin, it saves the (I think it actually shows) the co-ordinates. Please don't quote me on that. I really should install and learn how to use it. I'm just too busy flying all the time!

Is EzDok easy to use, or is it like that EzWalk, which you have to do all these different eyepoints and places :o
