peterhayes Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 I use BOB a LOT and I am wondering if there is any way to tell which way BOB is facing at any point in time? Very often after taken screenshots of various airports from different camera views/pans, when I return to BOB in VC view and set off he goes backwards or left or right (but never up or down) and this can be quite disconcerting. It would be great if I knew which way he was pointing or should I press CTRL + Space to return to the default front view? Thanks PeterH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Manhart Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 The only thing I could see doing is adding a Heading Indicator like below. Add this to BOB's panel.cfg after the last line in it. -------------------------------------------------------------- [Window Titles] Window00=Heading [Window00] position=7 size_mm=631,100 child_3d=1 background_color=0,0,0 no_luminous=1 ident=Heading gauge00=Cessna!Heading_Indicator, 0, 1 -------------------------------------------------------------- You can toggle it on and off with Shift+1. Other than that, resetting view to the front is probably easier... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Manhart Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 No problem my friend. You could replace it with any other gauge like the GPS or even add another gauge if you look in the default 172's panel.cfg. You'll get the idea! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
