If you prefer your Challenger 650 screenies with pilots.

Quick mod of the Q4xp pilot mod for external views thats available on the org that will gives us pilots in the external view of the 650.

Follow the instructions in the mod with the exception of the positions listed below.

Use these positions instead and all of a sudden you will have pilots in your Challenger not a drone.

External screenshots are massively lacking with a vacant cockpit this fixes that.

Nice Darren,,

I didn’t see this for the DH8D - have just added I think it does finish an acft nicely.

I take it you are enjoying the Challenger? 

Have you been doing some rw flying - we have had a few 788 from ML up to the GC.

awesome, yea I was going to ask for this to be added (even optional for those that don't want em) especially as the TBM has a pilot . the 650 is so small it's hard to avoid a screen shot that doesn't show an empty cockpit

 

Thank you!

I tried to open the 650 in Plane maker.. and it said there was not enough graphics memory. It worked on the Q8 no problem. and I was only running plane maker not XPlane so it is odd. Anyone else have that problem?

Thanks for the info! Love to have 3d pilots now!

It really works, great! Depending on the Computer screen resolution, the last digit where you have to enter the position "00015" may not be visible as Planemaker appears somewhat distorted on the screen (it was so on my Mac M1 Max Powerbook), I just clicked 5 times the upper arrow (to produce a 5) and it worked fine. Now, I have a real plane, not stupid drone!

[Matto715]

I placed the pilots as instructed, perfect! However, using x-camera external cams, they are not visible - how can I change this?

[jacksparrow]

Can anyone that has this working upload a screen shot of

how their setting are in planemaker?

Would be a fantastic help.

Does this work in XP12????

I've done what the information here said to do...... but no pilots.....

Cheers and Blue Skies to ya......
