Views gone crazy

[John White 828331]

I have all the good gear, FS9/FSX XP heaps of HDD & RAM and all programs work fine except for one very strange view problem that started only this week. In the default Cessnas.....the VC has gone and all I can see is that the a/c seems to be about 200ft above the Rwy...this also applies to the normal cabin view, yet the chase plane view shows me firmly on the ground. I was flying a night time ILS today and looking from the cabin view I seemed to be at 3-400ft only less than half a mile from touchdown yet the ILS was telling me to ascend. I landed with a thump to my surprise well before the runway yet visually I was still airborne.....cccrazy! In chase view I was on the ground.

I tried other a/c but they seem to be normal...no probs, so heres a mystery to be solved. I have not altered any parameters in these a/c

Your default view seams to have been located far outside your airplane.

 

Create a new flight by select Cessana again (i.e. dont use your Cessna saved flight ). After succed you can save a new Cessna flight.

 

If it not help then close FS, rename file "C:\Docomeents and Settings\\Application Data\Microsoft\FS9\FS9.CFG". Then start FS again. All your FS setting will be default. You can edit the file FS9.CFG manual if you find the probnlem in the file.

Hey John,

You didn't happen to change the cfg file for the a/c for viewing tower view in VRC did you?

Thanks guys. I compared the 172 cfg file with the 182 cfg file and found that the [views]parameters in the 182 had somehow got corrupted and was reading: -3.95,-0.85,350. The 350 should have been 3.50. How it happened I will never know. That fixed the cockpit view but the VC is still out.

....and, I was able to fix the VC view by simply using the shift/enter or shift/backspce keys. We're in business again.Thanks
