Cabin Window Frame and Wall

Anyone know how to put a actual cabin view as if looking thru a window from inside the cabin? I am speaking about the wing views on right and left side of the cabin.

Thats easy if you are using EzDok camera. Plus it'll give you some cool effects of shaking and so on, but it needs to be tuned a little to work properly, and its payware under 40$.

If not using it, you must define new view camera in aircraft.cfg. It needs to edited by hand then. And it'll require a lot of "trial and error" editing. But its free Smiley

Here is the passenger seat view from the aircraft.cfg file:

[CameraDefinition.006]
Title = "Passenger Seat"
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=0.83, -0.05, -18.25
InitialPbh=-1,0,0

The InitialXyz=X,X,X is the location of the view in feet from the eypoint. The eyepoint is the the pilots view in the VC. So that means that the passenger view above, is 0.83 feet to right, -0.05 below and -18.25 feet behind the pilots view.

Next we have the InitialPbh= which is the Pitch, Bank and Heading of the view: -1o (down 1o), the view is not tilting, and it is looking directly ahead.

Play with them to get them in a position near the window and you will probably only need to chang the heading so you are looking out the window.

To create a new CameraDefinition, you will need to get a new GUID (Guid = {FDADCBDB-0D5A-41B9-BBC1-5BF18E74A443}) to add to it. You can't use the same one more than once. So you can just copy the one above, change the CameraDefinition.XXX, add the new GUID, and play with the Xyz and Pbh numbers to have another passenger view.

I get my new GUID's generated here: http://www.guidgenerator.com/
