Outside cockpit view. I downloaded the "Precious Metal Convair". Nice plane, but the screen just showed a blue or near black (night) outside. After changing the panel I had an outside view. So I conclude, that there is something wrong with the panel CFG.
Is there anyone out there who could help me (and others) to understand the problem and how tho change settings to solve theses issues? Or is there a tutorial for such matters?
Hi Ike. Did you mean the Corsair posted here?
http://www.simviation.com/fsxvintage12.htmI checked it out in the FSX Demo & the panel seems to work fine. Make sure you installed it correctly as the way the file's been configured makes it a bit tricky.
As for the contact points the gear entries are usually point.0 (nose/tailwheel), point.1 (left main) & point.2 (right main). The vertical position is the entry I've marked in red on the example below.
[contact_points]
point.0=1, -8.50, 0.00,
-6.70
, 1600, 0, 0.5625, 46.8, 0.80, 2.5, 0.55, 10.0, 10.0, 0, 260.0, 260.0
point.1=1, -56.50, -6.76,
-8.60
, 1600, 1, 1.0, 0.0, 0.90, 2.5, 0.65, 9.0, 9.0, 2, 260.0, 260.0
point.2=1, -56.50, 6.76,
-8.60
, 1600, 2, 1.0, 0.0, 0.90, 2.5, 0.65, 9.0, 9.0, 3, 260.0, 260.0
The units are in feet & the negative value means it's below the reference point. To raise the aircraft increase this value by a small amount, save changes & check it out in Spot View in the sim. It's a matter of trial & error & gets easier with practice. Always take a backup copy of files you intend editing before editing them.
