2D "Like" Panel

[Woogey]

Hello Gentlemen (And Lady) Hey I was wondering if there is a way to display a Locked view of the Instrument panel from a level, dead center position? I would like to use a touch screen to replicate many different aircraft in one "Multi-use" pit. I do not like the odd angles that the 3D pit gives when looking down into it. I do like the shadows and textures of the 3d pit however. How wold one go about moving the camera position down into the cockpit, to look at all the instruments in a more direct, Head on view. This view should be standard with all the aircraft. Then once I am in that position, how do I save it so that I may hit a "HotKey" and go directly to that view? Any Help would be greatly appreciated! -Woog

Hi Woog!

 

The solution you are searching for is a program called Helios, I myself not completely aware of it's current state of development and compatibility with the current version of DCSW.

 

Also you should some research on aircraft model availability.

 

Anyway all you need is look into it on this link:

And check it on youtube as well to see it action

 

 

Hope that helps :)

 

Cheers

Actually, I would do a search on 'Snap Views'. Helios will not have shadows, nor the full 3d look and feel of the actual cockpit graphics.

The problem with Helios, is 1) Gadroc hasn't done anything with it for a while. 2) it doesn't support all the aircraft. If I can set it so a Hud only view is on my big monitor, then a front panel view only on the 23" touchscreen I would have it made! Snap views eh? I'll check it out thank you. -Woog
