Wing View?

[rpm151]

How do you access the wing view in the BAC-111? I toggle them on via the panel, but I cant remember what the keyboard command was to bring them up.

Thanks

Among the Main Panel sub panel selection icons is one labelled "WV" .... to toggle WV's "ON/OFF".

"So far as I'mm aware" .... selecting that particular icon is all that's necessary.

You don't mention whether you're FS9 or FSX .... although (and again "so far I'm aware") it shouldn't make a difference.

Mark,

I have selected the icon on the sub panel to turn wing views on. When I switch views within the sim all is i get is interior views of the cockpit. I seem to remember when I used this aircraft years ago, there was a specific key combination to access the wing views after you turned them on via the sub panel. Incedentally, the mini icon for wing views is a miniature "airplane" not "WV". I don't know if this is signifigant or not. I'm using FS9.

Thanks.

Solved!

The "wayback machine" is our friend. From the old DM flightsim website:

"In cockpit view, hold down '5' and '7' together on your keyboard's numeric key pad & you will get a wing view.
'5' and '9', '5' and '1', '5' and '3' also give other wing views.
You'll need to have 'Num Lock' ON to use the numeric key pad."

RPM.

Good you found that data on the WBM.

I "assume" the same, or similar, commands "may" also trigger WV's for the TRIDENT's too .... but .... I don't think they apply to the COMET's and VC10's .... although I'm "not sure".

Be aware though that not all of the DMFS data remains intact on the WBM .... it seems some of it was/has been lost or so I found when preparing the data we now offer here.

Again .... good you found that data on the basis of it apparently still being there.

I'll add that particular WV data to our own forum based manual for the ONE-ELEVEN's (and possibly the TRIDENT's too if it can verified to work similarly) once I can get back into FS .... just a wee bit tied up at the moment with other priorities
