How to make a cockpit view unobstructed - solved

  • My home flight simulator cockpit has a hardware canopy bow of its own. This feature makes the AFS2 rendered half-circle bow atop the fighters' glareshield redundant and intrusive.

    By doctoring the 339.tmd file I got rid of the mobile rear half of the frame, the mirrors and the glazing. I never figured out how to blot out the remaining static front half of the frame.

    Can someone enlighten me how to proceed?

    Greetings and thanks.

  • Appreciate your prompt reaction.

    What I want and achieved except for one pursued deletion is to place a single monitor in the upright position (portrait mode) and visualize the instrument panel on the lower half of the display, the top of the glareshield in the middle and the HUD and scenery on the upper half of the display. It is in the scenery part that the canopy frame spoils the free view.

    Thank you and greetings.

    Changed the title of the thread from “How to make a cockpit view unobstructed” to “How to make a cockpit view unobstructed - solved”.
  • Discovered a solution finally myself.

    Search the mb339.tmd file with the insert "true". The first hit reads <[bool][InCockpit][true]>.

    Change true into "false". Done.

    There is some collateral damage on the instrument panel, but nothing prohibitive.

    One may not be so lucky with other aircraft.
