jamesjsmith Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Hi. I tried to make a window with this tutorial but I went into fsx and selected the plane and there was no window just the wing view the plane I used was the pmdg 737 and the aerosoft a321 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Have you tried the same procedure on a default aircraft before trying it on a payware product? Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesjsmith Posted April 4, 2017 Author Share Posted April 4, 2017 no i have not tried default i will try now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
il88pp Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 I didn't view the youtube, not saying it's wrong. Are you adding a window surrounding like a popup? Like this? If so the thread may be worth a read. https://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/showthread.php?290596-Passenger-cabin-window-views-where-are-they-hiding [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

il88pp Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Had a quick look at the video. It explains how to make the window image, but not how to install. This is an addon in the File library that adds a cabin view. Image included I expect. It will show youu how to install.

il88pp Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 did you read the install instructions in the file I gave? Did it not work? Or could you not find the library at all? Explain things. When you just say: "that did not help" we have no idea what we need to help you with. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesjsmith Posted April 5, 2017 Author Share Posted April 5, 2017 I found the file and the instruction I read it and I tried installing it like that but it did not work. after making the view I got an AEP file and when I click on it adobe after effects opens and loads the view but I dont know how to get the view in fsx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
il88pp Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 If you add the view as: [window04] you make it show by pressing: shift+5 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesjsmith Posted April 6, 2017 Author Share Posted April 6, 2017 but where must I put the file or do I leave it in my documents folder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 but where must I put the file or do I leave it in my documents folder An AEP file is a video file. I just guessing here, but I'm thinking you would not add this to FSX, but it would be added to an overall video of your flight. Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer!

evm Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 but where must I put the file or do I leave it in my documents folder The YouTube vid in your OP shows how to make a video of FSX, not how to change FSX itself. Nothing that you do in Adobe After Effects can be added to FSX as anything, certainly not as a view. So my question is, what exactly do you want to do? Are you trying to make a video of FSX or do you want to have that passenger window view when you fly in FSX? A wing view in FSX is implemented as described in the download that il88 gave you. You add a Window definition to your panel.cfg, and by using the images that were supplied with the download as 2D panel popups you have a "frame" around your viewpoint where you can see through and look at the scenery. It can be challenging to place this view (=the camera definition) correctly when you want to actually see the wing of the aircraft. You may need a tool for that. And please note that not all addon aircraft actually have a wing when you are in the cockpit view - sometimes only the external model shows them and you have to place an external camera just right to get a nice view.

evm Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 As a follow up: I have just now downloaded the passenger wing view v12 and added it to the Aerosoft Airbus (A319). My observations: - Adding it to the panel.cfg is straight forward enough, no surprises there - But the AS Airbus does not have a wing modelled when you are in a VC view - As a consequence I had to create an external camera in the "Aircraft" category and position it just right to get the correct view over the wing - Then I called up the 2D popup from the "Views->Instrument panel" menu and got the result shown above. I was only able to do this in a reasonable amount of time (10 minutes) because I used a visual camera position editor. Without such a tool you would have to guess the camera definition x,y,z and p,b,h values and eventually arrive at that position by countless trial&error sessions. Here is the camera definition created for the screenshot above: [CameraDefinition.036] Title = "Right Passenger" Guid = {5C0C951B-B02B-4859-9EE5-1608AC19B505} Description = Right side passenger view Origin = Center ShowPanel = Yes SnapPbhAdjust = Swivel SnapPbhReturn = No PanPbhAdjust = Swivel PanPbhReturn = No Track = None ShowAxis = No AllowZoom = Yes InitialZoom = 0.30 SmoothZoomTime = 5.00 ShowWeather = Yes InitialXyz = 1.16, -0.12, -3.40 InitialPbh = 0, 0, 87 XyzAdjust = Yes XyzRate = 0.25 XyzAccelleratorTime = 5.00 AllowPbhAdjust = Yes ShowLensFlare=Yes Category = Aircraft MomentumEffect = No ZoomPanScalar = 1.0 PitchPanRate = 20.0 HeadingPanRate = 60.0 Panacceleratortime = 5.0 Transition = No ClipMode = Minimum chasedistance = 30.0 chaseheading = 5.0 chasetime = 15.0 CycleHidden = No Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

il88pp Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 If you make a video of an fsx flight, you can edit that video after flying. To edit the video you made you can use adobe. ---------- If you want a view in fsx while you are playing and flying, you will need to use the method evm just explained. Or use the file that I gave the name of. From the file library. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evm Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Or use the file that I gave the name of. From the file library. Hi il, I did. Those files only contain the 2D "frame" of the passenger view. They do not set up a suitable camera position or make a wing appear where there is none. This must be done by the user. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
il88pp Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Yes, thanks for that bit! I may even try that out in a posky. (though it is likely the coordinates won't fit. There are just so many posky planes. I may try some manual adjusting. I also installed a program recently to see coordinates (of lights) that may help too.) I only mentioned that file as response to the James. To show I agree with what you said. (I saw you mentioned the same file).

To show I agree with what you said. Hi il, I know, I didn't mean to critizise you! I just find it important to mention that if someone downloads and installs these files, he will NOT see what is depicted in the screenshot. All the he/she will get is the window frame painted over the normal view. Unless the aircraft.cfg accidentally has a camera definition in the right place, you will have to find that out yourself - and for many users that will mean entering a world of pain when they have to continually alter the aircraft.cfg until the correct spot is found. I was using CameraPosition X, so I was able to set up a camera definition and find the right place for it visually in a matter of seconds.

il88pp Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 :) Same here! We are both just helping out.:) I didn't feel offended at all. But it did make me realise I was on the wrong track at first. Originally I thought the youtube vid was about creating a file to install in fsx.. I'm glad you and mrzippy cleared that up. Thanks! Happy Flights! il.:cool: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
