From: Drew [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks, I'll try that, but I don't understand your description. The view origin is fixed in space as it is. Since the field of view is only 8 degrees horizontally, I figured the .9 degrees would shift the target upwards by about 1/6 the height of the image.

You could write a nasal script that updates target-y-offset-m based on the aircraft's distance from the tower. You can get the tower and ac position from the property tree, nasal does trig, and that's all you need. Josh I'll look into that. Thanks!

Hey All, I'm trying to configure a tower view in FlightGear that is offset in pitch such that the airplane appears above the center of the screen, but still tracks the position of the aircraft. I can't figure out how this is done, as the 'offset-pitch-deg' property seems to have no effect. Here

Hi, 1) I would like to disable the messages that appear on the TOP of screen, the tower control. Is there any property that I could set to disable it on FGFS 0.9.4? 2) I am compiling the FGfs 0.9.8 and I getting errors on JSBSim modules, is there anything that I can do to solve it? Regards,

Someone needs to rewrite the viewer code to allow viewpoints to be added at runtime; then, we can define a tower position for specific airports and allow you to switch to the nearest tower. And as usual, I don't have the time (much less the programming prowess) to take on such a task. I
