See engines through window

Hi,

Got a great Saab (single prop on each wing). Shift 1 and Shift 3 gives me great view from the L and R windows (cfg copy below) but I do not see the engines. Any Clue on how to adjust panel cfg to move the view and to see the engines would be much appreciated.

Many thanks,

Peter

Is this a freeware aircraft? If so, link or file name? Maybe I can help??

Hi,

MANY thanks for offering your help!

The aircraft came from here:

https://flyawaysimulation.com/downloads/files/3086/fs2004-us-airways-saab-340b/

The panel came from here:

http://simviation.com//cgi-bin/syb2.cgi?section=panels&file=BTSaab2000Panel2bet.zip

Older aircraft but it handles excellently, so plan to spend some time in cockpit.

Best Regards

Peter

Downloading both and will see what I come up with.

 

I'm coming up with a CTD when it tries to load the aircraft at my airport. Looking through the aircraft and panel.cfgs, it looks like your wing views are done in the panel.cfg. (not using cameras).

I would add 2 camera views in the aircraft.cfg.

 

Will look around to see if I can find some camera views examples. You would use the s key to use these views. You can try adding these 2 cameras to your aircraft.cfg. They may or may not be correct.

Are you actually trying to look through a passenger window to see the engines?

Those camera definitions won't work in FS2004 Mr Zippy, FS2004 panel views can only be set in the panel.cfg.

Interesting....that's a bummer!

Many thanks for looking into this gents,

yes I am actually trying to see the engines through passenger windows. Like many other aircraft I have. Sample attached.
