@@peterrowney5180 looked good to me. If only I could see you !!!

I think I was listening to some of that and detected a little frustration coming from the tower. Sounds like an aircraft wasnt playing nice !

OK please feel free to reach out if I can assist any further.

??

thanks Howie. I must have a significant audience in the USA as majority of people dialled in for the last 30 mins of the stream. .... Thanks for your ongoing support, greatly appreciated.

Not quite. Initially I used a combination of dimensions that I grabbed from various internet sources, plus the side profile of the C172 from the Pilot Operating Handbook. Purposely, I made the windows larger than normal to take advantage of the 55" screens. Its pretty close but not 100%. The overall width (inside) is about 70mm wider than normal C172.

Thanks mate. Appreciated. Due to the physical frame size and proximity from glareshield to rear TV you cannot move closer on my setup. The side TVs are about 30mm from the outside edge of the frame so pretty close. Have a build series where I show the Fusion360 model which may be of value to you....thanks for watching..

Thanks for the feedback. I have done some historical walk thrus, but certainly due for an update. Will look to post something soon....

thanks mate. Although targeted as a "Silly" video, you are correct in that points out what airspeed does with respects to generating lift....thanks for tuning in.

@@CessSim Silly, perhaps, though many seem oblivious to such concepts which we understand as basic physics. Similarly to those "supersonic" Atlantic crossings by 777/A350 etc passenger jets fortunate enough to encounter decent jetstreams! I've seen little Cessnas with 65-70 knot IAS readings showing 5-10 knot groundspeeds in the opposite direction, but never a vertical takeoff or landing. I assume that although these would be perfectly feasible, you'd be hard pressed to find either a responsible pilot willing to take off or land in winds anywhere close to V2/climb out or landing speeds, or such winds stable enough or aligned well enough to not have at least some gusting or crosswind component sufficient to deem an attempted takeoff or landing a bit too risky for any pilot wishing to remain alive let alone certified! Though what a sight to behold that would be! Thanks for the vid.. I'm wondering if any other sim external views would be available to show this with decent enough perspective to see it in action in a way a layman might be able to wrap their head around what is actually happening!

@@flightsimdeskuk Thanks and yeh I get that. Point was to put a C172 in a 50knot head wind which you wouldn't do....hence Silly !!

@@CessSim Yeah, I saw the point. Maybe I read it wrong, but you seemed surprised it took off so quickly. Lol. Would be interesting to compare with x-plane 12 doing the same thing. I believe they have been working on the model for interacting with water recently.

I have 3 cameras working in parallel (Logitech C920). I use Streamlabs OBS for recording and streaming. Dont use VR although I have heard is pretty good.

HI and thanks for tuning in. I have a few plans of general layout dimensions etc but not full detailed engineering drawings. This will take some time as modelled in Fusion360. Will look to develop this over time. If you want to reach out via my about section (contact email) I can perhaps help with some general layout drawings but will be brief.

Yep. Definitely..

Cheers Peter. I am so rusty.....!!

now that is Silly !! Like your thinking though and will add it to the list...........

trust me this series is going to get a lot sillier.........

Good idea, but considering you thought of it first, I challenge you to do it !! I will be waiting.......

@@CessSim you got me…challenge coming up..

thanks for the feedback. Yes is quite snug and that is on purpose to replicate the "feel" of being inside a C172. Is a great hobby and many many many hours have been put into it (and still do !!).. Thanks for watching.......

Looking forward to doing some flight simming one day in VR. I hear ya !!

Send me an email via about and may be able to help you out Trust you are a subscriber to the channel ??

@@CessSim I am a Subscriber. Not sure what email address to use. thanks!

@@rmm9676 got to my channel page and click the description of the channel (is the greater than sign 3rd line down). Should display "About" and from there you can get the email address.....

Sounds good mate. Keep me posted...........

Apologies for the late reply. Running off the same PC as the sim, with separate monitor, desk and keyboard.

@@CessSim All good and thanx for responding. What I should of asked is are you using something like FS Flight Control?

@@user-lt7lt1qu4h no. Its just a dedicated monitor and keyboard so I can set up the sim and then get in and start the aircraft cold and dark without a keyboard and mouse in the cockpit.

Cheers mate and yes is a bloody shame this doesnt work for everyone. I have had to turn off icing effects in FS2020 so the option is no longer. Also I interpret rain through the sound as you correctly state the windscreen effect is gone. With that in mind though, a much better experience with the virtual shell now gone. Thanks for tuning in.

cheers mate. Have a few of these "Silly" videos coming out to hopefully add a little humour to the community. My wife doesnt completely agree though !!

you aint seen nothing yet mate.........stay tuned

I agree. Rain doesnt really bother me but icing does..just need to watch that temperature !!

that wouldnt have been a good experience !!

Thanks for the feedback. I only fly C172 so can only talk to that aircraft. Looks like models are built up slightly differently. Shame not the same approach for the C172 as used for the DA42.

@@CessSim I'm currently sitting in the MSFS C172 with a windscreen, but no inside shell (modified the Model build files)...I'll keep in touch with how far I can go with this :-).

@@seattime4075 Cool. Keep me posted. Love to hear.

glad you liked it buddy...!

Fingers crossed although I dont have high hopes personally.

yeh bit of a pain in the proverbial, but I can live with it if flying with FS2020. Not an issue in XPlane........

@@CessSim I was just about to ask if you had ditched Xplane... :)

@@ScottDube1 No still fly both but if I am to be honest I do feel much better about FS2020 now with this mod. Certainly brings it out more.

cheers buddy. Yep one of my pain issues with FS2020 that whilst not perfect, is much better now..........

cheers buddy. Appreciate the feedback.

cheers buddy. Great tips and thanks very much. You are a legend mate !!

Hi c310sim6 - I am Tim - I use AirManager - this tweak works fine as AirManager gauages are rendered outside of MSFS so not effected by the interior model being removed

Excellent!! That’s great news, I’ll give it a go when time permits. Thanks for that, and thanks again for sharing this tweak. I currently move my viewpoint in my 310 to the centre and poke my head up through the roof to have a view of left and right wings (no good for a high wing of course) but this makes the view a bit weird and unrealistic. Thanks again.

Depending on your set-up you could also try removing the exterior (the line above interior) - these together will remove the entire plane. (Obviously tweaks at your own risk)

Hi Shaderrehomesim - I am Tim - my thoughts are that this only stops the default interior being rendered, so if you have an "external" GNS530 (ie an add on) then it may well be fine as the variables for those displays are still all calculated - this should only remove the default interior model - may be worth looking to see if there is a freeware "bolt on" GNS530 and maybe trying it

Thanks for that. Have used these to setup current view. I reckon have it as close as I can get it to look fairly good.

cheers mate thanks for the feedback.

I did test rain and from memory was ok, but you have raised my attention on this again. Will test that again today.

Hi mate. Tested and you are quite correct in that rain/icing will NOT work with this mod. I will post another short video to advise people. Fortunately for me I rarely fly in rain conditions so I am fine with it.......thanks for pointing this out.

Yep. I think this proves to us cockpit builders that FS2020 isnt really geared or setup for us. I dont think it ever will be to be honest.

Thanks mate. I know strange right?

Hi WillsWings (I am Tim) - Yes this should work on any aircraft that has the models.cfg - generally fsx legacy aircraft (some payware may not work as they compile the models differently to stop mods/tweaks)

Asobo only care about Xbox $$$ and taking commissions from selling dodgy products on the marketplace.

I'm curious if your GTN750 will work with this enabled. Hopefully it can be opened from the top menu with the cockpit disabled?

Sorry mate. I reckon you should still make the video though as you have a different aircraft.........

@@Charlienofun video coming soon

So... flight simmers discovering wall hacks? 😎

@@BekoPharm something like that...!

Yes absolutely !!

Welcome buddy.
