TMF F4U-1 Corsair ''Birdcage'': alternative cockpit position

[+Coupi]

Hello,

 

I like the TMF modded F4U-1 Corsair with its "birdcage"!

 

I propose an alternative cockpit position with the possibility to see the antenna from the ''birdcage'' inside:

 

 

 

1) The modification In the cockpit.ini:

 

[CockpitSeat001]

ModelName=F4U-1PIT

Position=0.0,-0.016,0.96

ViewAngles=0.0,0.0,0.0

 

2) The modification in the aircraft.ini:

 

[Fuselage]

ModelNodeName=Fuselage

ShowFromCockpit=TRUE

HasAeroCoefficients=TRUE

 

Best regards,

 

Coupi.

Set[01].Value=-6000.0

The only odd thing I see is the floating rearview mirror.

because in Real Life ™ the mirror is located INSIDE that little blisther at the top of canopy, and not attached to main framing
