Can't bring up pre-flight

Post by jetsmell »

I can not bring up all the spread sheets using the Shift + 2 , 3 , 4 , etc. I can bring up a few things. When I go to Views > Instrument panels I get Mini Controls, Maintanence Hanger , etc. I can't get Pre Flight Check Diagram. On the top of the list it says control pane, when I click on that I get nothing.

Prior I deleted all keys in FSX so I could customize my own commands and also because I use EZDOC. That all works fine. Is there a way to get into the A2A 172 files to program my own keys to bring up all the views that you see in the A2A manual? Working with files is still not one of my stronger talents.

Hello,

You will need to go to FSX controls menu and you will need to remap the default functions, they canbe whatever you wish but by default the 2d panels on aircraft are brought up via shift + 2,3,4,5,6,7,8 etc.

thanks,

I did re-assign the keys , now I can bring up the pre- flight screen, but when the check the oil is clicked on for instance, the camera doesn't take me right there and I can't show the dip stick.

I was able to see the hidden actions at the bottom by fooling with the box , however the item to be checked and the camera view don't match. Also some things don't work , for instance I can't tie down the plane even when the rope box in the actions place is checked.

Hello,

Ezdok modify's aircraft files so will mess up any cameras the developer already has placed into there product. This is why the Pre-Flight walk around doesn't work for you. We have a fix upcoming with the help from a community member but it will be a manual install of a file only for EZDOK users.

In the meantime please see;
