Most A320's I've been on have had 4-6 monitors scattered throughout the cabin up high. They would play TV shows usually.

How about you just have a property that goes with the livery somehow, that if they have video screens (like Virgin America), something is set, but if they don't have video screens (like United), something else is set. When the livery thingy sees true on screens, they show up, if it's set to false, they don't show up.

Simba has a good point as well, on United, the video screens fold down from the overhead area with the AC and lights.

You could make the livery-selected. That way, livery painters can define in their livery's .xml file whether the monitors should be displayed or not. Something like:

Livery .xml
Code: Select all
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<PropertyList>
  <sim>
    <model>
      <livery>
        <name type="string">Lufthansa </name>
        <texture>Liveries/LH.png</texture>
      </livery>
      <A320>
        <monitors>false</monitors>
      </A320>
    </model>
  </sim>

</PropertyList>


Model.xml

Code: Select all
<animation>
      <type>select</type>
      <object-name>monitors</object-name>
      <condition>
         <property>sim/model/A320/monitors/property>
      </condition>
</animation>

Now is the little screen part a separate object?

Is it possible so we could select an inflight movie to play? And can we have drop down screens as well please? :P

Joking aside, I think what you have done so far is fantastic! How's the cockpit going?

Currently, it is completely usable for IFR flying. I'll try and model an overhead panel later.

It's REALLY, REALLY basic- just a single color.

Are you making an interior for the 717? :)

They were ripped from the 733, which is GPL2, so no problemo! 8)
