Aircraft Size on Screen

[Pierre_NC]

Hello,

I am using Allen's P51B Mustang as AI Aircraft on my FSX. The issue I have with it is its size on screen, see the attached pics below :



It's too big. Is there anyway I can fix this so that I can see the entire aircraft on my screen ?

Thank you very much for your kind cooperation and help.

Cordially Yours,
Pierre_NC.

Well, you appear to be in the Sim, so try hitting the minus key.

I've had this issue with several aircraft in the sim.

Either the viewing distance was too close or too distant.

Here's my original post .... http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/showthread.php/126835-External-View-Distance?highlight=
The fix is to use the RADltor tool and change the radius figure to suit. You'll probably need to do it several times to get something suitable.

" Look for RADItor on SceneryDesign.org
RADItor is a small tool to adjust the radius (RADI) setting within a FSX MDL file. Aircraft developers sometimes need to adjust this radius to make the aircraft show correctly in the aircraft selection window. "

I hope this helps

The immediate answer is to simply tweak the chase distance, which you do with the CTRL -/= keys. If you want to change the default for that aircraft it probably means adjusting this parameter in some aircraft-specific config file.

Being that the aircraft was made for CFS2 the collision bubble is vary small and I guess the cam will be close or too close in FS02/FS04/FSX.


You should be able to use MK_MDLC and MDLC for 64bit systems to edit the collision bubble using z/ Set visual Model size.

Hello again,

I"m sorry for being silent those past days but I had my PC upgraded with a new graphics card and i got it back only today.

Thank you sq much to all of you do answering me, the solution was with Allen's MK MDLC_DosBox that worked perfectly and I have now a P51-B Mustang very well sized on my screen.

Again, thank ypu all for your kind coopzeration and help.

Glad it worked!

Most the credit should go to Ivan Hsu (MDLC) and Morton (MK_MDLC). I wouldn't let it die and start digging into programs/tools to keep it alive since Win 7.
