Arrived at my destination Cheesy

Continued from part 1: http://205.252.250.26/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1272741994

Seems like the mountains blocked all clouds. While the weather was rainy in the Swiss side of the Alps, the weather here was clear.

Anyone knows how this village is called? I think it's on the Italian side (not sure), looks like a wonderful place.

FSX seems to load scenery much better using aircraft/cockpit views. This shot was taken using tail view(!) and moving a lot. How do I add my own views, for example wing view? I know the position (x, y, z) because the navigation lights are placed there, so all I need to know is where exactly to put it.

Bonus, with a different livery - landing in Aosta (LIMW).

Conclusion: 300MBs of fantastic scenery, especially combined with the Val d'Aosta scenery. Combined, you get photoreal scenery between Mont Blanc, the highest Alp and the Matterhorn, maybe the most famous Alp. Definitely worth downloading.

C & C welcome.

Very nice shots !!

If you want to add your own views, it's pretty simple: use the default planes as templates.
For example, the default Baron has a side view. Those additionnal views are defined in the aircraft.cfg, with the sections [cameradefinition.x].
It's a little bit the same system as for declaring additionnal repaints

The tail, right wing and left wing views are declared into [cameradefinition.1], [cameradefinition.2] and [cameradefinition.3] (or does it start from 0 ? ).
Anyway, just take a look at those sections and copy them into the aircraft.cfg of the Hunter. The parameters inside are quite explicit, so you'll have no problems editing them Wink

Got bloom ?
Got mountains ?
Got damage ?

Thanks. Looking at the cameradefinition.x things, I saw this line:
Guid = {8f9e7d58-1dc9-490a-886e-0456b30d4bf2}
What does it mean, and how do I select the right code?

It's the Hunter made by Dave Garwood. More specifically, this is the newest, FSX-native version of that plane (was already available in FS9 format since several years).
A single-seat version is also available.

The FS9 version is uploaded to Simviation, but it seems (according to the search engine) that the FSX native version is not. You'll find it for example at ClassicBritishFiles.com

So far my number of landings either passenger or pilot equal my number of takeoffs, but that is due to change
