Dutch, Why can't I install the FCOM Gauge on your Douglas DC-3C in DC3C Panel  I wanted to fly your older DC-3C cargo because I can see the runway on landing in the VC View. I can't see the runway with your new Acme DC-3C on Landing or TO. That has all ways has been a problem Landing and TO with DC3 the seat sets to low. Thanks hope you understand. Lane  |

I'm not sure why it won't install in that airplane, but I'll try it myself and find out. It's probably because there's a very early and buggy version of what would eventually become FSCaptain already installed there. ;D
You should be able to see the runway okay; if not, raise the seat a bit on landing with the raise seat keys -- the same ones you use to shift the view up and down in the 2D cockpit view.
Yeah - I have never flown in the DC-3 cockpit but I've sat in one, I'm amazed the pilots are able to see anything on taxi. I couldn't without a pile of encyclopedias to sit on!

Dutch,
I guess I could remove FSC and Reinstall? Could there be something from 07.06 Left over?
I installed the FCOM on a Beechcraft King Air 350 today. No problem?
About the seat adjustment on the DC3 on your older Ver 1 DC-3C I could see the runway on landing in the VC view. I hate to set there and hit Shift-Enter on Landings.
For that reason I though about retiring from flying DC3 and Just fly planes with tricycle Landing gears.

If you are comfortable changing the aircraft.cfg here's the solution. Go into the aircraft.cfg from the old DC-3C and search for a line called "eyepoint=" with some numbers after it. Copy that line. Then go into the new aircraft.cfg and find the same line. Copy the old line on top of the new one and presto! Your eyepoint is the same as it used to be!
Hope this helps,
Dutch

Thanks Dutch,
That did help I changed eyepoint= -5.8, -1.512, 3.217 // Changed to Improve Left Rear View from
Cockpit. VC view is back were I can use it on Landings not perfect but I can see the runway when
tail wheel touches down.
