I decided to re-run a couple of the new training flights recently, just out of curiosity. Unfortunately, the child-sized pilot view looks like it’s destined to be the default forever… I realise this is to give a clear view (almost an IFR view) of the instruments for people that can’t easily move the view around, and that ‘Space’ on the keyboard can be used to temporarily raise the seat height.Īlso, I know that you can permanently raise the seat height across all aircraft, in the menu under General > Camera > Cockpit, but … Perhaps if you ask Bev on the PP forum he might investigate buying the charts. It does handle vector charts but they have to be stored on the PP server. This converts the vector chart to a bitmap which then loses resolution as you change scale in PP. It’s a simple fact, the default camera for the “Pilot” view is set far too low in every aircraft, to the point that it obstructs the ability to fly well. I take it that you are downloading the chart by using screen capture. We were actually sitting on the correct side to spot our house at Matongo, but at the age of 10,there was no way to spot a single house or group of houses, without following the landscape from the start.Correction to Default Seat Height - Pilot Camera / Eyepoint / Viewpoint Wishlist I was very impressed by the double controls and all the meters and levers.
#Planeplotter cockpit view free
Me and my brother had the first row seats on the right side of the plane, we had free sight into the cockpit, there was only a curtain between the cockpit and the passengers.
On google maps the distance from Matongo to the rout is is about 5km to the North East.įrom 1968 at the age of 10, I remember the first part of our journey back to Finland, Kisumu -Nairobi with a DC-3. The house was on the hill side facing the Kipsigis hills on the other side of the valley and the Sondu river. In the late 60s, the aeroplane on the route Nairobi - Kisumu was easily spotted from our veranda. OH-LCF, DO-4, 43-48254. This aircraft is on show at the Finnish Air Force Museum, visited 2017. Mechanic to the left, and pilots at the controls.
Warm up at Vasa airfield, OH-LCH Engine 1 Sightseeing trip over Vasa onboard the DC-3, OH-LCH, owned by the DC-yhdistys. The weather was clear and fine all the way home, and we arrived to Kronoby at about 19.00 PM.įilling petrol in the tanks and completing the logbooks took some time before we were back in Pensala. A short walk to a service station for some coffee and snacks in good company, departure to Kronoby EFKK at 18:00 PM. On the way home we visited Kärsämäki, a landing strip is available very near the town, arrival at 16:30 PM. We had food and coffee and a nice stay with various shows of equipment, and discussion forums. Watching the sky we decided to departure at 15:00 PM between the showers. Nice journey to Kuhmo, some rain at arrival 11:30 AM, and some showers under the visit. Two ultralight planes owned by the KIK club OH-U445, OH-U598, and we in the OH-U382. Take off 8:30 AM with nice weather in Kronoby, the weather forecast predicted some rain showers in the Kuhmo area. To load it press ALT and the number chosen. This map includes inaccurate / very approximate positions, errors of 200 nmi or more are not unusual. press CTRL ALT and a number 0-9 in the keyboard to save that view. The plan was to fly to Kuhmo in a group of 3 planes. to leave just the main instruments and part of the outside view, what we call 'landing view'. This was an offer that was impossible for me to turn down, it was a YES!Īn early take off 7:00 AM from Pensala heading for EFKK Kronoby airport. This year Kuhmo Flight club KUIK celebrated 60 years of activity. After the trip in May, the pilot asked me if I would be interested to join him on a trip to Kuhmo in July.Įvery year there are several "Fly-ins", a "Fly-in" is a meetup for enthusiasts or anyone generally interested in flying.
