UTILISATION




Once you've run X-Plane,  choose a plane with a 3D cockpit.

NOTE:
Loading a cockpit can be long the first time (up to a few minute !), if the cockpit.nml file is not present.

Don't worry ! the plugin has not crashed X-Plane but he is creating the cockpit.nml file from the obj file, and computing time depend of the complexity of the 3D cockpit.
Then, the file is saved and futur loading of this cockpit will be then very quick ;-)

HOW TO USE XCockpit?
To alternate between the 3D vue and 2D panel view, press F8 key.
You can use also joystick button to alternate views.


You can move the view with mouse, arrows key, joystick buttons, and ( for windows only) a TrackIr2.


The F12 key activate or desactivate  the configuration menu.
