I would think you could just comment out the [Vcockpit01] section and that would keep it from loading. It may not be that simple, but I don't see why that wouldn't work.

I have to admit, I saw the header "How to remove VC?" & my first thought was that Robert Duvall always recommended napalm & "The Ride of the Valkyries"!!!

you have to go into the model folder and find the model.cfg and edit out, add "//" in front of the "interior=" entry. So for the default 747 it would look like

[models]
normal=B747_400
//interior=B747_400_interior

What if it isn't a native FSX model though? Portovers wouldn't have an "interior".

ive noticed with a few planes they usually have a sub VC view that is clear for 2d popups. instead of removing the VC, could you just add a 'clear' cockpit view?

Remove VC from a non native FSX plane

Hi, can anyone inform me how to remove the vc?

For a FSX native aircraft Simkid22 method is very effective and quite easy. No need to change anything in the panel. You might want to remove the useless VC camera definitions in the aircraft.cfg file.

If you are using a FS9 port over to FSX (or non native FSX plane), you'll have to use a Hex editor like "Hex Workshop", open the .mdl file, search the string "0022003900", and in the second occurence of this string, replace it by "0022003800" (38 instead of 39). It works! Thanks to RBLeDoc from pilote-virtuel for the tip.

I've been wondering how to do this for fs9 planes, good info, thanks.

I've been using this method as well for quite a while now, but I use 00 instead of 38, and that works too. Don't remember where I got my information, but that's what it said to use.

Thanks all for your repy's in fact the plane i'm talking about is the Captain sim f-104 and is a port over from fs9 (should have mentioned that in the first place)

I'm moving this post the the FSX Guides subforum.. Theres a ton of great information in here and I dont think it should be allowed to disappear off the end of the page so rapidly..

VC Removal

Do a search for Clive Ryan in FS9 who hates VC's in his wonderful C-130 panel. Several year's ago he did a step by step VC removal procedure using "Hex Editor" which was 100% effective.......sbp.......:salute:

OK, I have Hexeditor and I'm looking at the number strings. I'm not seeing "0022003900". All the strings have 8 digits instead of 10...there's a "00220390" and then there's a "00220030" which goes up in 10 unit increments, such as "00220040" and "00220050" ect.

I can't find any strings that consist of 10 digits, so I guess I'm going to have to go into experimentation mode. Lol.
