Two new Cockpit views for the Avro Anson

Post by BiBa »

I have just bought this nice plane and went directly to work...

I was always curious to see how does it look like sitting in the Gunman Tower, so I worked first on its parameters, but unfortunately found out later, that its inner 3D object does not exist in the Virtual Cockpit!

So I worked on two other extra views, one is a "Stooping Copilot" to ease the view to the right side of the plane and a funny pooping look down thru the small nose window for targets ahead, and also ease up Taxiing!

The other one is "Luggage", with an exotic view thru the whole Fuselage up to the front. Also it's the Parachutist corner, with a great look down when the cabin door is opened!

All you have to do is to go to your (standard FSX installation)
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\SimObjects\Airplanes\AF Avro Anson\Aircraft. cfg
and open that file, scroll to the end, mark the following two blocks:
[CameraDefinition.001]
Title = "Navigator"
[CameraDefinition.002]
Title = "Navigator"

and exchange them with the following four blocks:
[CameraDefinition.001]
Title = "Stooping Copilot"
Guid = {195EAB58-9E4A-3E2A-A34C-A8D9D948F076}
Origin = Virtual Cockpit
MomentumEffect = Yes
SnapPbhAdjust = Swivel
SnapPbhReturn = False
PanPbhAdjust = Swivel
PanPbhReturn = False
Track = None
ShowAxis = FALSE
AllowZoom = TRUE
InitialZoom = 0.5
SmoothZoomTime = 2.0
ZoomPanScalar = 1.0
ShowWeather = Yes
XyzAdjust = TRUE
ShowLensFlare=FALSE
Category = Cockpit
PitchPanRate=60
HeadingPanRate=60
InitialXyz=0.5, 0.15, 0.0
InitialPbh=20, 0, 0

[CameraDefinition.002]
Title = "Navigator"
Guid = {195EAB58-9E4A-2E2A-A34C-A8D9D948F078}
Origin = Virtual Cockpit
MomentumEffect = Yes
SnapPbhAdjust = Swivel
SnapPbhReturn = False
PanPbhAdjust = Swivel
PanPbhReturn = False
Track = None
ShowAxis = FALSE
AllowZoom = TRUE
InitialZoom = 0.5
SmoothZoomTime = 2.0
ZoomPanScalar = 1.0
ShowWeather = Yes
XyzAdjust = TRUE
ShowLensFlare=FALSE
Category = Cockpit
PitchPanRate=60
HeadingPanRate=60
InitialXyz=0, 0, -1.3
InitialPbh=0, 0, 0

[CameraDefinition.003]
Title = "Radio Operator"
Guid = {195EAB58-9E4A-3E2A-A34C-A8D9D948F078}
Origin = Virtual Cockpit
MomentumEffect = Yes
SnapPbhAdjust = Swivel
SnapPbhReturn = False
PanPbhAdjust = Swivel
PanPbhReturn = False
Track = None
ShowAxis = FALSE
AllowZoom = TRUE
InitialZoom = 0.5
SmoothZoomTime = 2.0
ZoomPanScalar = 1.0
ShowWeather = Yes
XyzAdjust = TRUE
ShowLensFlare=FALSE
Category = Cockpit
PitchPanRate=60
HeadingPanRate=60
InitialXyz=0, -0.1, -2.8
InitialPbh=0, 0, 0

[CameraDefinition.004]
Title = "Luggage"
Guid = {195EAB58-9E4A-3E2A-A34C-A8D9D948F079}
Origin = Virtual Cockpit
MomentumEffect = Yes
SnapPbhAdjust = Swivel
SnapPbhReturn = False
PanPbhAdjust = Swivel
PanPbhReturn = False
Track = None
ShowAxis = FALSE
AllowZoom = TRUE
InitialZoom = 0.5
SmoothZoomTime = 2.0
ZoomPanScalar = 1.0
ShowWeather = Yes
XyzAdjust = TRUE
ShowLensFlare=FALSE
Category = Cockpit
PitchPanRate=60
HeadingPanRate=60
InitialXyz=0.6, -0.2, -3.3
InitialPbh=0, 0, 0

And don't forget to backup the Aircraft.cfg first!
By exchanging the CameraDefinition number you can change the order of the views.

Have fun! :P
