Re: Wideview without panels
Hi Andi, sorry if I misunderstood. You need to send a command through a gauge in 2d panel using 3d virtual cockpit ? If you press A repeatedly you should get to 2d view, send the command, then A again and get back to virtual cockpit for flying, what did I miss ? I am also planning to use 2 monitors but after some test with wideview I am more oriented towards triplehead2go, in order also to get a 3rd monitor in the future. Best wishes Massimo
Re: Wideview without panels
Hi Andi,
I saw your post at the Wideview Forums and I also use Wideview, in the Wideview configuration page, there is a box to tick that removes the aircraft panels while you are in virtual cockpit view.
Kind Regards

Re: Wideview without panels
Thanks Bernie,
I had no idea it was that simple, so are you using Project Magenta? if so how have you edited your .cfg file because for Project Magenta to take control of the aircraft, FMS and MIP I have to edit the .cfg file so it looks like this:
[fltsim.6]
title=B737-700 Easy Jet - Stairs
sim=B737-700
model=
panel=pm
sound=
texture=U2
By doing this the panels are removed but still remain in the Panel folder.
Thanks in advance :)

Re: Wideview without panels
Hi Andi,
No, I use Prosim737 and have done for quite some time now. I am also running FSX so my Wideview is slightly different to yours in the way of configuration screens. I am glad you have now sorted out your issue.
Kind Regards
Bernie.
Re: Wideview without panels
Hi Bernie,
Thanks for all your responses but I'm not understanding much at the moment :(
My modified panel which I renamed 2D Cockpit+pm in the aircraft selection process (for easy location) I've noticed that the Wideview control panel doesn't list 2D models and I think this could be the root of my problem.
I don't think it's possible to add the Wideview switch in a non visible panel / Gauge setup and without this edited .cfg file Project Magenta wont fly the aircraft so I'm thinking I can use one or the other but not at the same time even though the manual does suggest Wideview can be added to any window I just wish it could be added to the outside view :)
I will still try your suggestions and I very much appreciate you helping with this :)
Kindest regards
Andi
Re: Wideview without panels
Hi Andi,
can you explain this Wideview on/off switch that you are referring to as I don't think this is the same in my version. I might have a better idea of what you are after if you can explain this switch you are talking about.
Kind Regards
Bernie.

Re: Wideview without panels
Hi Bernie, I have attached a jpeg of the Wideview Switch inside a panel of a Cessna as an example, it appears at the top left.
Just had a thought have you got Wideview in FS9 along the top in modules where FCUIPC resides? , I don't have it on mine although I seem to remember there used to be in previous installations of FS9.
Thanks :)

Thanks also for your input and suggestions :)

Re: Wideview without panels
Hi Andi,
I have FSX not FS9. I did say this in an earlier post. I have been looking at the Manual for Wideview 2004 and I can't see how this would not show on you screen even if you take the panels away. I will have a better look at this again but at the moment I am in the middle of my Simulator Rework. If I think of a way for this to work I will get back to you.
I will make a post at the Wideview Forum and hopefully Luciano will get back.
Kind Regards
Bernie.
