Viewing Problem
Posted: 24 Mar 2011, 13:29
Got a bit of an "issue"..
I bought the B-17 AccuSim yesterday and after twelve hours of reading the manuals, help pages, etc., trying to get "things" to work (like my controllers), I thought I start with a simple "area" first.. "Viewing""
Below are two pictures.. One is the FS9 B-17 Cockpit View. the other is the FSX B-17 Cockpit view..
Question: How do I make the FSX Cockpit look (and function) like the one in FS9??
Okay.. the Message Board keeps telling me the "Message Board Quota Has Been Reached".
Hopefully, you guys will know what the FS9 WOP B-17 2D Cockpit looks like, verses the FSX A2A AccuSim B-17 VC Cockpit..
When attempting to "fly" the FSX AccuSim B-17, I cannot see, much less "access" any instruments I may require.
Any information that will help my situation would be greatly appreciated..
Same with any and all information on how to get the FSX AccuSim B-17 to "acknowledge" my controllers (I had no problems with my FS9 WOP B-17).. I have the CH Yoke and Rudder Pedals and two Saitek Throttle Quadrants (with plans to fit two more). I can throttle-up the engines, but the VC Throttle levers do not move and the "Engine Pitch" does not change. If I try to adjust the Mixture or Props/RPM, nothing happens.. Black Smoke is boiling out of my engines!
When in VC, I cannot "read" the gauges because they are WAY too small. If I zoom in close enough to read a gauge, that's all I see.. THAT gauge.. Kinda makes a "Half Needle Turn" rather hard to do when one cannot see the needle, attitude gauge AND out the windscreen at the same time!
Sorry to say, but so far I am totally unimpressed with the FSX AccuSim B-17.. Please help to change my impression.
