• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

P3Dv4.5 - Adding Wipers ONLY to Virtual cockpit

Hello,
i have a Homecockpit with P3Dv4.5 and using Prosim737 for the Switches and so on.

Now, the Aircraft, providet by Prosim, has nothing in the VCockpit01 Section. So, because of we are using a
Homecockpit we normally do not need any Instruments in the Virtual Cockpit.

But i want to have ONLY the Wipers in the Virtual Cockpit View.
Does anyon know if that is possible ?

Thats the VCockpit section in the panel.cfg:
//[VCockpit01]
//size_mm=1024,1024
//pixel_size=1024,1024
//texture=$737_1
//background_color=23,17,52
Click to expand...

I have attached a Picture of my Homecockpit to give you an idea what i mean :)

Thanks for any Help
Matthias

Hi, Matthias,

I have only done this with props and hoods, but the principle should be the same.

You will need to create your own animated interior model, or modify an existing one for your personal use.

You should look into the advanced 737-800 VC by Alejandro Rojas Lucena.
The model can be viewed and edited in ModelConverterX.

Matching the geometry for the windshield effect to your physical model, might be tricky. You might need to customize it.

Look up Windshield Effects in the 4.5 SDK

For more advanced interaction between wiper and raindrops, you will need to dig deeper into the matter. Perhaps this is something:
