Hi fellow CS727 Pilots.

I just thought that a few people might be interested in a little edit to the aircraft.cfg for the CS727 (all models).

Seeing as there isn't a 2D cockpit I decided to add a line at the bottom of [CameraDefinition.005]. This is the line:-
HotKeySelect=2

REMEMBER TO ALWAYS BACKUP THE AIRCRAFT.CFG FILE BEFORE MAKING MODIFICATIONS!
Just in case you make a mistake.  Shocked

When you press F10 (the FSX default) for the 2D cockpit, you will actually get the Flight Engineers Station instead. Because of the way I fly this bird I find myself quite often switching between the Captains Station and the Flight Engineers Station and this just makes it quicker and easier.

For those that are might be worried, you can still get to the 2D view using the A and Shift+A keyboard shortcuts.
