  • Special Server Maintenance

    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

AH DHC-1 Chipmunk Chippy has landed 6/24

In order to have a pilot in front of you if you choose the rear cockpit or a pilot behind you if you choose front, we have to have the pilot nodes in the interior model. This differs from having those nodes in the exterior model as normal. This is why you are seeing the pilot in your custom view. The only way we can change that is to lose the ability to have pilots in view when in the VC. We do not want to lose this feature as it has been asked for by many people. :engel016:

So something between a plague disease and a smallpox, no choice is right :very_drunk:. Ok Baz, it makes sens for me, it sounds resonable. So maybe I'll do new default view for myself. Where can I edit this default view in virtual cockpit? Can you suggest something?

I can suggest you read the manual. In particular page 3. You are looking for an eye catching red box which details exactly how to remove both or either figures.

RTM please! Time and effort was put into it and it answers this very question.

It was posted before here, but 0 lb removes also pilot from external view, what is worse even. :biggrin-new:

YoYo, I've had this problem before with other aircarft, a simple fix is to change your view to something like the Landing view (I have a button assigned to it for just this very purpose). It always works for me.

Ian, I checked, but "landing" here is external view over the left wing, not from VC view.

BUT I finally solved it, I created new pilot position and now is much better, I dont eat front panel ;).

Go to (for example) to civilian version:

MSFS\Community\ah-chipmunk\SimObjects\Airplanes\AH-Chipmunk-CIV , open cameras.cfg

and in the [CAMERADEFINITION.0] so first position change this lines:

InitialXyz= 0, 0.113001, -0.19139
InitialPbh= -4.17872, 2.026807, 0.758479

Save it. You can do the same for MIL version. Now its great! :wiggle:
(more about how to modify default views https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/setting-your-default-vr-head-position/341582/11)

btw.
Pls dont do the same in DC-3 with pilot body. Custom cameras are very useful.

YoYo, I think it's just changing the (internal) view kind of resets the cockpit view. I've had this problem with a few aircraft including one of the "stock" aircraft. Glad you solved your problem.

Yes, that is a great scheme. I look forward to re-painters getting busy. There are so many neat RAF colours for the Chippy. Interestingly, look at the very front of this example. Looks like a hint of the Red/white/grey scheme in a replacement part.
 
Chippy International Meeting (MSFS style)

Apart from the fact that I still get the single pilot in these shots (using a replay system)... This is a nice set to celebrate Canada Day.

Hi Ken,

It's Jan, remember ?...:)

When you click 'Insert Image' you get two options. If you select 'From URL' below the address bar there's an option 'Retrieve remote file and reference locally'.

By default it is already selected. Just unselect it en your picture will be displayed fully.

Good to see you here ! :encouragement:

Cheers,
Jan
 
Wow Jankees, I think you've made Beaufighter very happy with that Portugese repaint!

My dear friend... How could I ever forget one of my fellow VIP pioneers, and our meeting in Amsterdam when my wife and I adopted our daughter from Romania. I trust you are well, and I shall now digest your info on the screenshots. - Kenneth
