Enable Visible Copilot

[MiRexer]

I worked out getting a visible copilot (in MSFS2024 SU3 anyway) today. I couldn't get her to not interfere a little on either side so I averaged it out and made her interfere with the center of the panel just a bit and her elbow sticks out the door just a bit (at least on mine). Edit the navigation_graph_pilot.cfg file in the bksq-aircraft-baronpro\SimObjects\Airplanes\bksq-aircraft-baronpro*\navigation_graph folder. Towards the top add a ,2 to the nodes in the [MAINGRAPH.0] section:

[MAINGRAPH.0]
nodes = 0,1,2

and then add the following:

[NODE.2]
name = 2
tag = COPILOT
;modelnode = PILOT_1
pos = 1.02,.4,-0.2
massSection = Copilot
interactiveObject = SEAT_DEFAULT_Copilot

[MassSection.1]
name = Copilot
stationLoadName = TT:MENU.PAYLOAD.COPILOT
maxMass = 220

If you want to move the copilot a bit left or right adjust that first number after POS - I'd suggest starting with 1.019 or 1.021 if you want to nudge it just a bit.

Thanks for posting this so others who find this compromise acceptable will have the option. On the other hand, I'm sure you now see why I found this to be an unacceptable compromise due to MSFS 2024's more restrictive system.

100% - if only they had a scale function

I'm surprised she didn't bail on me today lol - it was a little icy in Kansas!! This was at startup - took a long time to get them to defrost so I could see enough to taxi - and almost all the way to the runway before it cleared.
