With my recent rebooted interest in Euro Truck Simulator 2 and it's tons of controls, I've decided to create a virtual button box so I can use my iPad to interact with the game.

While there are some other alternatives out there, I wasn't really satisfied with them.

You can check more details about it in its dedicated page:

Fergo ETS2 Virtual Button Box

During the past couple of weeks I've been working on a simple VOR and ADF "simulator", that I'm now releasing to the public for free. I initially started this project as something for myself, but then I thought it my be useful for other aviation enthusiasts as well, so I made it "prettier" and released to the public.

Here's a screenshot of it's main screen:

It's also worth noting that this shouldn't be consider a proper simulator for real flight training, as it doesn't simulate some characteristics such as radio ranges, cone of confusion, and so on. The wind is also very basically implemented. It's more of a tool to get a hang of how the instruments work.

I tried to make it as simple as possible to use. Also, please report any bug or inconsistency you may find. I've added a "Help" button that has a basic usage guide.

After a few months in development, I finally reached a state where I can release my Prepar3D addon "Fergo Cockpit Camera".

It's a camera add-on that allows you to setup multiple virtual cockpit views and assign hotkeys to them (so you can have views for FMC, overhead, pedestal, etc). You can then save all the custom views to a preset, which can be automatically loaded when selecting an aircraft in P3D.

For more information, visit the official website below:

Official Website: https://cockpit.fergonez.net/

User Manual: https://cockpit.fergonez.net/user_manual.pdf

Some features of Fergo Cockpit Camera:

• Non intrusive design: it doesn't change ANY files in your P3D installation, not even cameras.cfg. All the input processing is done through DirectInput in a standalone fashion.
• Free look mode: click your mouse wheel to look around and use your directional keys to freely navigate in the cockpit. This key mapping can be changed.
• Use either your keyboard or other game decide to assign hotkeys to your cameras
• Simple user interface
• No clumsy on-line activation

For the complete set of features, please refer to the user manual.

Here's a video demonstrating a bit of it:

It's compatible with P3D v4 and was tested on Windows 7 and Windows 10. It requires .NET Framework 4.6.1. The add-on is free to try for as long as you want, but limited to 3 cameras per preset. If desired, a license removing this limitation can be purchased for 9.90 USD in the official website above.

Enjoy!
