Pilot & Co-pilot invisible in freeware Edgley Optica

Hi,
I have just made the move to MSFS so apologies if this is a stupid question.

I have the freeware Edgley Optica from Jonx. I think it is the V2 package. It has the dog in the cabin and is a 688 Mb zip file that I got from Flyaway Simulations.

In the screenshots in the package the external views shows a pilot in the cabin but my cabin is crewless. The poor dog is doing all the flying by himself.

I realize it is a trivial thing but it makes me wonder if there is something else I have done wrong.

I created a folder in my Community folder called Jonx-optica-msfs and dropped the content of the Aircraft folder from the zip file in there.

The aircraft is appearing and seems to be working.

thanks for any help.

That's a common complaint with a lot of planes. Personally, I'd rather not see myself, since the eye point would be inside the head and I'd have to move to an unrealistic viewpoint. My copilot on the other hand... I like having her in the cabin with me, and my two go-to planes allow that. One is the payware Kodiak, and the other is the stock DA62 with the freeware DA62X mod installed.
 
Hi Tom,
I'm not talking about the view from inside the VC. I agree, the last thing I want in the VC is to be inside my own head (as it were).

I am talking about the external view. In the package there are screenshots of the external view that have a pilot and co-pilot. When I go to external view the pilot and co-pilot seats are empty.

Thanks
 
Check the load page before starting the flight. Are there weights assigned to the pilot and copilot positions?

HI,
Yes I had checked that (took me a while to think of it tho )

I finally figured it out (sort of). I changed the sim settings so that a specific pilot was called for in all models rather than the default, now the pilot shows up.

So I am assuming there is a small typo in the config file. Haven't had the chance to troubleshoot but I will sort it out.

I know it is trivial but it bugs me for some reason.
 
Yeah, I think JonX hasn't updated the freeware Optica because of the payware release. The payware one is really nice; much better than the OrbX version, which I also own but wish I hadn't bought. :)
