Copied from the text file on the DBS walk and follow I uploaded, a few months ago.

Alright here is how it goes:



1. Make sure you see the "DBS Studio" option on your menu (Alt)

2. You should see Cockpit Walk, something else (can't remember) and Walk and Follow.

Follow mode is when you can walk around, but when the aircraft moves, the camera follows it.

Walk mode is when you can walk around, but the camer doesn't follow it (kinda like real life aircraft spotting)

Here is how to use Walk and Follow:

NUMPAD / = follow mode

NUMPAD * = Walk mode

To look around = Click (left click) and HOLD on your mouse. Move the mouse (while holding) to look around.

CTRL + SHIFT + 1, 2, 3, etc = save views in Walk and/or Follow mode. (Note) you can only store 10 views in Follow and/or Walk mode.

CTRL + 1, 2, 3, etc = go to your saved view in Follow and/or Walk mode.

CTRL + NUMPAD - / + for Traffic walk (this is pretty much walk mode exept it is with AI planes [multiple])

NUMPAD 8 = walk forward

NUMPAD 2 = Walk backward

NUMPAD 7 = look up

NUMPAD 1 = look down

NUMPAD 4 = Walk left

NUMPAD 6 = Walk right

NUMPAD 9 = go up

NUMPAD 3 = go down

Numpad 5 = Return to Initial point (where you started from)



Note: These controls are the same for Follow and Walk mode.



Hope this helps :]

Ok right so I fly for BAVirtual.

In order to complete the flight at the stand you start at you have to turn the engines off, and once you pushback you have to start them up again.

However, when you start them up again, the autothrottle switch does not arm, meaning that the autopilot can not control the speed of the aircraft.

This is in a PMDG 737-800.

Can anyone help? Usually I have to re-load the aircraft, meaning I have to do all the FMC again. +rep to any USEFUL replies.

Surely they cannot tell if your engines are shut down etc.. ? Does BA have some sort of program connected to FS?

Yeah its the BAV Acars
It detects if your engines are not off etc, and it's really annoying.

Right Matt being a BAV Pilot to all do is load up with the engines on then just cut the fuel turning the engines off, then put them back ready for when i need to start. then i puush back and starting the engines when they both started you have to go in to your over head panel and turn turn your APU on back on because when the engines are turn off it turn off your APU.

then cick on the autothrottle come on

[cocaine]

Ok cheers Dan I need to spread.

And do you "cut the fuel" as you said or can I just press CTRL + SHIFT + F1?

[Recursion]

Just use the 2 lever things under the throttle controls on the pedestal. Im number 14 in the waiting list for BAV :/

So:
Cut fuel > push back > un-cut fuel lol > turn apu on > turn apu off???

Can't you just cut the fuel, push back, un-cut fuel lol then press ctrl + e? :S
