liner simpilot Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 I only did this one pic on a flight from SNA-OAK on a actual flight. Sorry I didn't do my usual wing views as I use a modern cockpit that usually gives me good passenger wing views, but this one puts the wing out my pilots window. I would like to edit the cfg so it could put my wing out the passenger window. I uploaded a copy of the cfg if someone could please help me, I would be grateful. Here is a pic showing wing view & cfg. I tried the double forward slash as I thought that is what that meant. Thanks again Kenny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomTweak Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 That's one of the rare "Mid-Cockpit" 737's. Very few made, but the pilots are able to interact with the passengers more easily :D Just kidding. Wouldn't the problem be in the Camera sections of the aircraft.cfg? I am not at all familiar with that part of the file, unfortunately. I am sure there are a number of other people on the forums that are very good at this sort of thing, however. I am sure one of them will give you the answer very easily. Pat☺ [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Had a thought...then there was the smell of something burning, and sparks, and then a big fire, and then the lights went out! I guess I better not do that again!

NMLW Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Kenny, I don't know much about wing view, but the double forward slashes actually disables the function that follow them. try removing the double slashes and see what happens. Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazyclown Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 That's where WINGS should be, right out by the pilots window, that way they can see their Flappers & Aileron thingy ma' jobbers move back & forth and see if any ICE is building up on the Wingy Thingys !!!

liner simpilot Posted August 2, 2016 Author Share Posted August 2, 2016 Thanks Pat, Larry & crazyclown for your responses. I will continue to read all the responses to hopefully resolve this issues. I have never had this issue before. Kenny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copperpen Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Which panel are you using, as the aircraft comes aliased to the default -400. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liner simpilot Posted August 3, 2016 Author Share Posted August 3, 2016 Thanks copperpen for asking what panel which is 7377_pnl.zip, I know it is for a b737-700, I thought when I read window views in the cfg with 2 backslashes in front of certain places, that would fix it to making it right. I have never edited cfg before but this seemed right, I tried it different ways still not. I like doing wing views as well as outside views hoping I could use this panel. I don't like using older style panels made for this type of liners. Kenny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copperpen Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 I have loaded the 'plane and panel for a quick look. The problem is caused by the position of the cockpit relative to the model of the 'plane. It is located just aft of the main gear. I will have a fiddle tomorrow and see what I can come up with.

adamb Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Nice livery anyway Kenny, i'm sure someone knows how to fix it. :) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copperpen Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 The answer is in the aircraft.cfg, specifically eyepoint. I have changed it to eyepoint=34.1286, -1.85, 8.00 which moves it to the front of the aircraft and raises it a little bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liner simpilot Posted August 4, 2016 Author Share Posted August 4, 2016 Thanks to you Adam for your response to my post, thanks copperpen I appreciated what you did, I edited the eyepoint view I would have guessed that it would be in the panel cfg. I edited per what you put down. I tried it and it did what I wanted on the right wing view, now if I can get the left wing out the passenger window that would be great. So when you have the time maybe you can fix that & I would be a happy Cowboy. Kenny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rupert Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Wow Air California flew thrust jets? When I left the Smogville Valley, in the late 60's, all they were flying was Electras! Being an old chopper guy I usually fly low and slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liner simpilot Posted August 6, 2016 Author Share Posted August 6, 2016 Thanks Rupert, when living in Socal I sure miss this great looking B737 with Air California markings. It must have been something flying those big roaring Electra's. Kenny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
