It's only for the large jets (I think, haven't tried it with others), but go to "aircraft view" then press A 'til you get the desired view. Not sure what your second question is.

wingfold and unfold refers normally to military planes old and new. On carriers in ww2 or so, the wings flipped up to save space on the deck. Modern jets not as sure...if that was your question Wink

Actually, wingfolding predates WW2. Most shipbased airplanes of WW1 had folding wings, for the same reason. For that matter, folding wings were found on many light aircraft between the wars, and many since then.

Most "modern" carrier aircraft have either folding wings or at least outer sections. (Unless they have relatively short wingspans, like the Harrier, and A-4 Skyhawk.

As an aside, the Boeing 777 was offered with folding wingtips, but as far as I know, none has been sold with the option (Not that that mere fact should discourage a flightsim modeller)

" wingfold and unfold refers normally to military planes old and new."

Wingfold and tailhook are standard FS keyboard commands (can be assigned to joystick or other) and operate anything designated by the model designer.

All FSX View Commands are list in the kneeboard (just like in FS9) but instead of pressing F10 to bring it up it's SHFT+F10; e.g.,

FSX VIEW COMMANDS 2-D Cockpit (cycle panels)= W
Snap to Panel View= SHIFT+Num Pad 0
View (next category)= S
View (previous category)= SHIFT+S
View (next view in category)=A
View (previous view in category)= SHIFT+A
View (previous view toggle)= CTRL+S
View (default zoom)= BACKSPACE
Look (snap)= Num Pad
Look (pan)= Hat switch or thumbstick

The model designer may use other assignments; check the panel or aircraft readme file
