me-323 invisible wing - neuro_01 - 10.08.2009

When in cockpit view in the me-323 I see the engines hanging in mid air. No wing. In external view the wing is there. Anyone why this happens, and how to fix it?

The Me-323 was not originally flyable in the sim and therefore it does not have a 'true' cockpit. The cockpit is nothing more than a place-holder that does not fit the aircraft. For this reason you will see inside the model. If it had a proper cockpit this would not happen.

its the same with the small german recon plane, it uses the P-39 cockpit, but it doesnt give major or minor issues as far as i know so dont worry bout it m8

I havnt flown it for a while but i certainly know i can see the wings, and as far as i remember they were set quite far back from the cockpit so you have to look right round, helps if you have 6dof mod. and the engines do stick out of the leading edge of the wing which might explain why you can only see the engines.

Alighieri; There is now a new, and quite nice, cockpit for the Storch. Do a search under cockpits.

Luckily for you the "small german recon plane" has a brand new cockpit. Big Grin

LOL, ROFL, LMAO, and all that kind of stuff.
The wing was actually there!
What happened is that as the me-323 is essentially an me321 with engines, I assumed that the wing would be in the same position as on the me-321 (aligned with the side windows).
So the wing wasnt where I expected to see it, and those "long" engine pods with exhaust pipes (or whatever they are) sticking upwards that looked like the supports for engine nacelles hanging under the wing, gave me the illusion that the wing was missing and the engine hanged in mid air.

The weird part is that I have flown the me323 before and I never noticed. Maybe the difference is that this time I flew the me323 (after a long time without flying it) right after flying an me321.
Anyhow, that is solved. Good.
As for the cockpits, I think I have all the new cockpits that have been published so far but I'm not really sure I do. It would be nice if someone posted a list. Even better, two lists: one of new cockpits and one of 'repainted' cockpits.

Yet another cockpit topic: throwing "appropriate" gauges in "borrowed" cockpits (e.g. German gauges in a B25 cockpit for the me-323). That's a great idea IMO but I have no idea how to do it. Have a look at this thread, and possibly make some cockpits Smile post tutorials, etc.
