2D cockpit view problem

[WebMaximus]

Hi all,

Turning to the pros...I hope you will be able to help me with a strange problem I run into.

I'm running FS 2004 and downloaded MelJet's 777-200ER and the plane is really great, but for some reason I don't see anything looking left in 2D view when in the cockpit. Also, I don't see anything through the window looking back/right when using a photorealistic cockpit panel.

Attached is a screen-shot I took using ActiveCamera 2004. The picture looks a bit strange, but I belive the red marks show what's causing my problem if the blue marks indicate the pilots positions.

Please help me, I really like this plane and don't wanna get rid of it just because of this kind of stupid problem.

Best regards and thanks in advance,

Richard

Didn't get one single answer...but did finally solve the problem myself.

Here is how I did if anyone else has the same problem:

In the aircraft.cfg file, change the eyepoint value under the [Views] section. By doing this, you are able to "move the pilots position" relative to the aircraft model. In my case I moved the eyepoint forward past the blocking "walls" around me.

Here is how it looks in my aircraft.cfg now after changing the values:

[Views]
eyepoint = 96.0, -2.65, 2.25

Thanks for that.

I received no reply from Meljet.

Neither did I...

Sure Melvin seems to be a very talented guy when it comes to aircraft building though his communications skills don't seem quite as good ;-)
