F-86 Canopy colour and T/O trim

Post by FERG » Sat Mar 28, 2020 12:42 pm

HI All

I have the non-TACPAC version of the F-86 and am using it in P3Dv4.5

One thing I have noticed is that the canopy has a very 'blue tint' rather than being clear.

Is this peculiar to P3D ? and is there anything I can do about this please?

Also I would like to ask how one gets the Take off Trim indicator to light.

I can't see a switch or hover point that relates to it.

Thanks for your help

Richard

Canopy colour is sky reflections caused by lighting settings in P3D.
I think it's Dynamic reflections.

I will ask someone else will have to advise on the trim light

Have you tried reading the manual?

Also, all support questions go in the support forums.

Thanks

For trim,
Use your ELEVATOR TRIM control. The control stick will move forward of aft as you press your controls. The red light to the right of the Oxygen Warning will light when you are set for TO
