Directory
Use this tool to jump to any
geographical point (airport, nav-
point, etc.). The directory is a
stripped-down version of the
Departure/Arrival Dialog Box
(see Flight Planner, p. 32).
Toggle cockpit
When in Cockpit view, use
this feature to hide your entire
instrument panel from view.
When the panel is turned off,
you will have a full-screen view
of the landscape in front of your
aircraft. To maintain your essen-
tial controls, you might want to
bring up your Mini-Cockpit
Window (p. 30).

Setup Aircraft

Toggle Full Screen
Switches between full-screen, zoomed in-window and
desktop in-window modes. Keep in mind that 3D hardware
acceleration will not be used when running in windowed modes,
resulting in lower frame rates.
Cockpit Camera
For most pilots, this will be their primary view of the world.
From this view, you can look around your cockpit as freely as if you
were there (especially if you have mouse scrolling activated, see
Scroll with Mouse, p. 15).
Spot (Chase) Plane Camera
This is a free-motion cam-
era. Activating it immediately
transports you outside your
plane to watch it in flight. Use
the camera control keys to zoom
and pan around until you find
the view that suits your needs.
You can even save your favorite
positions to a hot key.
Fly By Camera
This is a stationary camera
that observes your plane’s
approach, pass-by, and depar-
ture. When you go out of range
of the camera, it assumes a new
position and starts its pan again.
