778: Pilot Camera Positions

| Tom Tsui

I know the first 4 definitions in an aircraft’s camera.cfg define the positions of Pilot (VFR), ClosePilot (IFR), LandingPilot and Copilot in the virtual cockpit respectively.

But I always mix them up and don’t remember what keyboard commands are used to activate them, even though I modify them from time to time.

253: My Cockpit View Switcher

  2. Cameras.CFG

  1. fsx.CFG,  fsx-Normal.CFG,  fsx-Wide.CFG
    (Prepar3D.CFG,  Prepar3D-Normal.CFG,  Prepar3D-Wide.CFG)
  2. Cameras.CFG,  Cameras-Normal.CFG,  Cameras-Wide.CFG
  3. aircraft.CFG,  aricraft-Normal.CFG,  aircraft-Wide.CFG

Then, I could separately Continue reading →
