Outside view without virtual cockpit

[Keith A Holt]

My collection of Skalarki hardware has reached a point now where I can start to think about flying without a virtual cockpit.  I have just about everything I need with the exception of the overhead for which I plan to use the 2D overhead panel, ideally on a touchscreen display.  My goal has been to fly without requiring a mouse or keyboard and I’m almost there.

Is it possible to remove the inside cockpit from the main view such that all I see presented is what is outside the window?  JeeHell FMGS and Pro-Sim do this, but I want to keep using FSLabs.  Is there a way to make this work?

I think it's not officially supported, but have you tried either using a 2D view or editing model.cfg and commenting out the "Interior=" line?

Thanks!  I will be giving that a try this weekend.

click on open bracket [  enter, you will have outside view only. right click then you drag the window to your desired screen.

you don't have to edit anything. very simple windows operation

Have a read through this 5 year old post. Enjoy.

To follow up with a rather late reply, thank you so much for pointing me to this.  It works!

I don’t understand why FSL doesn’t just make this a standard option available in the settings UI, perhaps with the HWInterface.  Everyone who has Skalarki hardware would probably find this solution preferable to Pro-Sim and JeeHell.  Neither of those solutions provides something as basic as a loadsheet with ZFWCG for example, which leaves me scratching my head how to solve.  FSL has a complete solution.
