mabe5454 Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 I got this new development. If you see the attached picture that's the max I can sweep/pan right (I can't get to the nose of the plane for viewing), when I press Space-bar and move the mouse all to the right. I used to though. BTW, if I press Shift + 8 (num pad) it does show the nose view. Any ideas, Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Using Locked Spot View you can do what you want using the spacebar and mouse. Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mabe5454 Posted April 27, 2015 Author Share Posted April 27, 2015 Nope. And by the way that is the view in contention. I can only view from 90+ to 270- towards the rear or 180 degrees. From 90- to 270+ towards 0 degrees front/nose is for some reason impossible Verboten. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Just making sure I'm on the same page as you. So...starting looking at the nose of the aircraft, you cannot do a 360 degree walk-around/pan-around of your aircraft ending up back at the nose? Like in my rather basic video?

mabe5454 Posted April 27, 2015 Author Share Posted April 27, 2015 You got it. I can only do 180 degrees from the tail to the wings. It will not cross the wings towards the nose. As I said before, this is new cause I didn't have this problem before. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you using EZDOC cameras, by any chance? Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mabe5454 Posted April 27, 2015 Author Share Posted April 27, 2015 Actually it is less than 180 degrees, more like 160 degrees. Spot View is still stuck. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mabe5454 Posted April 27, 2015 Author Share Posted April 27, 2015 No to both items. The last one I do not even have (EZDOC). BTW, it happen with any aircraft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 This is the Locked Spot view from the camera.cfg in the same location as your FSX.cfg. is yours the same?

mabe5454 Posted April 27, 2015 Author Share Posted April 27, 2015 The "Space" bar has become different or reset somehow to what I had described. I can get to the nose view like you with the shift and the numpad keys (8 or arrow up). I keep digging... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

napamule2 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 You can use your joystick hat switch to pan around when in locked spot view. Tried that?

mabe5454 Posted April 28, 2015 Author Share Posted April 28, 2015 Mr Zippy: It is assigned as in your picture. Napamule: Not that easy. FSX doesn't take the Saitek inputs sometimes only some. I know is weird too. As for FSUIPC4, no it is not register. It doesn't need it for me. This is a biggie one, I can feel it. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScatterbrainKid Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Like Napamule said, just use your hat to pan around in external view. Try cycling key 'S' to it. Make sure you haven't cycled to a fixed external camera view, that one only has very limited range.

mabe5454 Posted April 28, 2015 Author Share Posted April 28, 2015 Sorry for the delay but $ comes first even with FSX. Doble J: I do not use the Saitek Profile, too much reading too little benefits. I use the Saitek Control Panel for verification purposes. It works for me. ScatterbrainKid: Yes, I use S and A always so I know how they work. I can use the panning as in your link since your shots are from the tail. Thanks, I'll keep looking... Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
napamule2 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 HELLO!! If your hat switch and 'mouse look' are not working then your CONTROLLER is NOT WORKING and you either need a new controller (not likely) or LEARN how to set up you CONTROLS in FSX. Pulling on the cables or wires and hitting the side of the case DOESNT WORK (I've tried that..hehe). Seriously...it's not that hard to 'fix'. Disconnet your (USB?) controller cable. Wait 20 seconds. Re-Plug and see if Windows will 'recognize' the controller. If it does, it will load the 'drivers' (Windows) for it. Done.

mrzippy Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 I gotta ask...In your locked Spot view, where do you start your pan? The thing I noticed and also showed in my "Mickey Mouse" video, to get a full 360 degree pan, left or right, is to start at the nose of the aircraft and then pan completely around, either direction. If the pan is started at the tail, then only a 180 degrees of pan happens. Other starting positions will vary the amount of pan you get. No worries, a new version of Pan, by Disney, is coming this Summer.;) Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mabe5454 Posted April 29, 2015 Author Share Posted April 29, 2015 No go. I can get to the nose view by shift+8 but the moment I hit space, it goes to the last position I left when i used space+mouse (mouse look?). ...Pan, by Disney, is coming this Summer. Thanks I'll pass that Pan for sure. LOL! PS: I do not use any button or switch in my Saitek for viewing. I learned to flight MSFS with the keyboard first.

napamule2 Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 I get the impression you don't know what a 'hat switch' is. Or it sure sounds like it.

mabe5454 Posted April 30, 2015 Author Share Posted April 30, 2015 At the end I bit the bullet. I let FSX rebuild the FSX.CFG. That did it, I got full swing again. Thanks, Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
