Change of view.

I've come across this view in a panel for FS2004 & I'd be grateful if someone who knows about these things can tell me what the numbers stand for ?

Fixed Window37=Camera View

 

VIEW_DOWN_WINDOWS=37

VIEW_DOWN_ZOOM=0.500

VIEW_DOWN_EYE=0.000, -5.000, 0.000

VIEW_DOWN_DIR=45.000, 5.800, 0.000

 

[Fixed Window37]

file=vinten70mm.bmp

file_1024=CameraView.bmp

size_mm=1024,768

position=4

visible=0

ident=30

sizeable=1

render_3d_window=1

 

I would like to change the view to look less down & more straight ahead towards the horizon....................

Mank thanks.

The first number in the View Down Dir line is the angle of the vertical axis in degrees:

VIEW_DOWN_DIR=45.000, 5.800, 0.000

That's the one to change.

Hello. Thank you. Can you tell me what the other numbers do ?

 

Cheers.

Terry.

Yes, the three numbers are degrees of pitch, yaw, and bank. In other words: rotate up or down, swivel left or right, and lean left or right. If you put a number in and the view's moved the wrong way, add a minus symbol ( - ) to make the number negative and the view will move the opposite way. Edited February 19, 2020 by tiger1962

I've been playing before you replied and now you've explained it all is now clear !

 

Thanks.
