3-D pits in fs9
« on: July 17, 2007, 07:09:59 AM »
Yo Dumo,
I'm having problems getting 3-D pits to display. All stock are fine,
but almost all my added heavies display only the 2-D panel. All snap-views
are from the 3-D, so I only have the 2-D panel. :'(
I've gone back and looked at the zips, and I believe I installed them all okay.
I do not know what to look for thou, in the aircraft folders. Should it be .bmp's
in the panel folder? Alot of the aircraft folders have different contents because of
how some of the planes are made, and installed, so I can't compare. What should I
look for?
Problem pits are:
AIRBUS A320-232, A380-800
EMBRAER E-170
FLEET CANARIAS DC10-10
IFDG AIRBUS A319-111
LAETICIA A320-214
Thanks,
Roller

Hi Dumo,
from what I can gather from searching avsim and frugals, some of the vc's have not been
made. (Most of the Airbus, 767, and more.)
But this still makes for a delimma in the 2-D panel view. From what I have seen in other planes
that HAVE the VC, it is the VC .bmps that provide the 2-D snap-views.
Some of the ones that do not have the VC, DO have wing views which are nice. ;D
but it would be nice to see the right side of the pit! :D

Hello Roller,

A short answer....
Many freewares have no VC.
Some have it ...(files in the texture folder) but not implemented in the aircraft.cfg....
Generally you will see a line like

// add here VC if you want use the VC model (or like)

You see also generally 2 folders ...as:
Model
Model.vc

Personnaly I don't use often the VC ..as many buttons are not clickables (paywares and freewares ...it's not great differences)
I know anyways few paywares or freewares who hace only VC :)
As payware ..the Marchetti FS 260 from Real Air have only VC (all buttons and commands clockables ...off course)

PLEASE....SURF SAFE....
Military regards.
