Panel View Switcher

The Panel View Switcher function is used to quickly skip to pre-defined Camera Views used by the PMDG 737 NGX.


To configure the Panel View Switcher, please follow the following steps:


1. Locate the Aircraft.CFG file for your desired PMDG 737 NGX model(s).

2. Note that each PMDG 737 NGX model will have its own model folder and its own individual Aircraft.CFG file.

The PMDG 737 NGX models are located in this folder:

Microsoft Flight Simulator X\SimObjects\Airplanes


 
3. To be safe, make a backup copy of any Aircraft.CFGs you wish to edit.

4. Open the Aircraft.CFG file for each model with Notepad.

5. Scroll down and locate the sections with [CameraDefinition] in the header, for example:

[CameraDefinition.001]


6. Note that there are may different camera definitions, one for each possible camera view.  Each Camera Definition section has as 'Title' entry, so you know what Camera goes with which Definition. 

7. Add the following entry to the bottom of each Camera Definition section, right below 'ClipMode=Minimum".

HotKeySelect=X
