A/C Preview

[aeronca1]

The mind may be going... When you load FS and select an a/c, you see a preview of the plane. I know I once used a utility to change the view to show the a/c closer. Does anyone know what program I might have used?

I'm trying to improve the preview of the MiG-21F-13, as it's a small spec in the preview window.

Thanks!

AFCAD

Open AFCAD
Select "Tools" / "Aircraft Editor"
Scroll down until you find your desired aircraft and select
Change the Aircraft Radius (m) to a [-edit-] smaller [-/edit-] number to increase the view size
Click "OK"

AFCAD will change the perimeters in the "model" for that particular aircraft. A backup model (original) is also created.

Increasing the number will make it even smaller - decrease the number to bring the view closer.

LOL! Oops! My bad. That's what I meant to type, but the darned devil jumped up again. :mixedsmi:
(must be my copy of D-AFCAD...dyslexic afcad...hehehe...)

..........and, note that the view is in Meters. Figure a meter to be a Yard (if you are American).
