Camera Position

Select the Student RadioButton to look directly over the nose of the student aircraft. When the Student RadioButton is selected the Up, Down, Left, Front and Right Buttons will be enabled. Select the Up or Down Buttons to look above or below the nose of the student aircraft, or select the Left or Right Buttons to look to the left or right of the nose of the student aircraft, or select the Front Button to return to looking directly over the nose of the student aircraft.

Note: Each selection of the Left or Right Button will turn the camera in 22.5 degree increments. The current direction being looked at is displayed at the top of the 3D View in the first column and includes the aircraft heading. Each selection of the Up or Down Button will tilt the camera in 10 degrees increments. The current direction being looked at is displayed at the top of the 3D View in the second column and includes the aircraft pitch angle. When the Student RadioButton is NOT selected the Up, Down, Left, Front and Right Buttons will be disabled.

Select the Airport Ident RadioButton to place the camera at the center of the airport identified, 250 feet above the ground, and always looking at the student aircraft. When using this mode, it might be useful to select the Zoom In and Zoom Out Buttons found in the Zoom Gro

Spider Web

Select one of the mutually exclusive RadioButtons in this GroupBox to determine where to center the spider web. Only one spider web will be shown at a time.

Select the Off RadioButton to turn off the spider web.

Select the Aircraft RadioButton to place the spider web centered on and moving with the student aircraft's ground track.

Select the Airport RadioButton to cause the spider web to be re-centered to the airport identified in the EditBox.

Use the EditBox to select the airport to use to re-center the spider web.

Erase W Track

Select the Erase W Track PushButton to permanently erase the Wing aircraft's track. The track will then immediately begin to re-draw starting with the Wing aircraft's current position.

Erase L Track

Select the Erase L Track PushButton to permanently erase the Lead aircraft's track. The track will then immediately begin to re-draw starting with the Lead aircraft's current position.

Zoom

Select the Zoom Out PushButton to make the aircraft being looked at appear further away from the camera.

Select the Zoom In PushButton to make the aircraft being looked at appear closer to the camera.

In the instances where the student and possibly lead aircraft are at a great distance from the camera position, (like when the camera is centered at the airport), it might be useful to turn off the scaling of the aircraft so as to see the relative positions of the student aircraft to the lead aircraft. Deselect the Scale A/C CheckBox to turn the scaling of the aircraft off, but don't forget to turn it back on for most normal viewing.

Instrument Displays

These displays show what the instruments in the cockpit were showing at the time of recording. However, power-up and test conditions are not repeated. The exception is that the range of the VSI/TAS instrument may be changed manually using the TAS RNG UP/DN buttons.

TAS RNG Buttons

The TAS RNG buttons may be used to change the display range of the VSI/TAS instrument. The buttons function the same way they do in the airplane. The UP button increases the range, and the DN button decreases the range. The available ranges are the same as in the real instrument, namely, 3, 5, 10, 20, and 40 nautical miles.
