how to show Pilot_1 with cold&dark situation setting the weight in W&B windows ?

Hi all,

I have in my interior.xml file of my custom aircraft this code for Pilot_1 ( copilot ):

<Component ID="copilot_visibility" Node="PILOT_1">

<UseTemplate Name="ASOBO_GT_Visibility_Code">

<VISIBILITY_CODE>(A:PAYLOAD STATION WEIGHT:2, pounds) 5 &gt;</VISIBILITY_CODE>

</UseTemplate>

</Component>

If I put in flightmodel file a weight for the copilot , loading the aircraft I can see it in the cockpit as well, and if I set to "0" the Copilot weight in the Weight and balance windows the Copilot figure disappear. Good but, If I set to "0" the weight in the flightmodel so to have not the Copilot inside loading the aircraft in the sim ( what I should have .. ) and loaded the aircraft I want to show the Copilot adding a weight in the Weight and balance windows , my Copilot won't appear... why ?

this is the code in flightmodel and Copilot won't appear. I need to set the weight to station load 1 to have the copilot showed .

station_load.0 =160,-1.926,-0.794,0.492,PILOT, 1

station_load.1 = 0,-1.926,0.822,0.492,Copilot,2

station_load.2 = 0,-4.126,-0,0.772,Baggage (MAX 55 lbs),6

thanks ....

Set the copilot weight in the [WEIGHT_AND_BALANCE] to 0.1

Then make the code based on above 0.1 can bee seen and equal or below 0.1 not seen.

<VISIBILITY_CODE>(A:PAYLOAD STATION WEIGHT:2, pounds) 0.1 &gt;</VISIBILITY_CODE>
