FSX planes in FSW

[Dangerous Beans]

They seem to have made some changes to the view system and it works through the Camera Definition's now

What works for me is to delete the [Views] and the [CameraDefinition.X] sections.
Then paste in this one copied from a default plane, then start tweaking the InitialXyz=0.00, 0.00, 0.00 line to get the view in the right place.


[CameraDefinition.0]
Title=@ID_CAMERA_PILOTVIEW
Guid={C95EAB58-9E4A-4E2A-A34C-D8D9D948F078}
Description=Default single occupant PIC cockpit, VFR view looking out and straight ahead
Origin=Virtual Cockpit
MomentumEffect=TRUE
SnapPbhAdjust=Swivel
SnapPbhReturn=FALSE
PanPbhAdjust=Swivel
PanPbhReturn=FALSE
Track=None
ShowAxis=YES
AllowZoom=TRUE
InitialZoom=0.4
SmoothZoomTime=2.0
ZoomPanScalar=0.75
ShowWeather=Yes
XyzAdjust=TRUE
ShowLensFlare=TRUE
Category=Cockpit

Panacceleratortime=0
InitialXyz=0.00, 0.00, 0.00 //<-----------
InitialPbh=0, 0, 0
Transition=Yes
HotKeySelect=1

The first number is left/right, the second is up/down and the third forward/backward

I have the Cessna Soloy, the Realair Legacy, the SOH C-47, the Alabeo Aztec, and the OrbX Vans RV all working. They all have a VC. May I suggest that perhaps you need to assign a different key. Some of the old FSX assignments have changed. Have you tried simply cycling views with the S key ?

Hi,
the keys work fine with the default aircraft. Cycling the views will bring up the secondary VC definitions but never the main VC_0 display.

I imported the Thor's Hammer Rafale M last night following one of the guides on Steam. It doesn't have a VC so most have merged the FSX FA-18 cockpit into it. But the gauges seem to be 32-bit so nothing works. The aircraft flies fine though I don't like the external noises they seem to feel they need to add. I'll have to run it in P3Dv4 and see what the ContentErrors file says. Probably only that FA-18.dll file is 32 bit and a 64 bit version is required.

Biggest issue besides no instruments was no visible pilot. But that might be a setting I need to figure out.

I need you for a test

Hi,

Does anyone can try my Dewoitine D371 model avalaible at Royale French Navy : http://royalefrenchnavy.restauravia.fr/RFN-Avions.htm#Hel

Gauges are all 3D using xml animation and no dll is used. No main 2D panel (F10), only CV and some popup like GPS!

Can you try disabling DSD sound system commenting these 3 lines in the panel.cfg (VC01 part)

gauge00=dsd_fsx_xml_sound!Sound, 2,2,2,2, \dsd_d37_sound.ini
gauge01=D37!roulage, 0,0,1,1
gauge02=D37!freinage, 0,1,3,3


If successful can you show me some screens.

Thanks,
JMC

Hi,
got it in FSW (sort of, it is kicking up a couple of errors in the xml, and I still haven't got the main VC setup).

and the VC (using one of your camera views) seems to work but nothing is clickable in this view.

I had to mangle the aircraft.cfg a bit. Discovered that you also need a full [General] section in order to get the model to show up on the selection screen

[General]
atc_type=Dewoitine
atc_model=D-371

ai_selection_bias=0.0

Performance line is just from default Cub for now.

Thanks, it seems that there is no compatibility with the regular interface (mouse events) of FSX because there is nothing special, just calls to entry points clearly documented.

D-371 vc

Hi,
Adding this to the Aircraft.cfg of the D-371 gives you the VC

Thank's to all testers of my D371. I was wondering how to design some planes for this simulator without open SDK avalaible, mainly french aircrafts of the 1930's.
