atr_42_500 Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Hello fellow simmers. I'm looking for a tool for making the walk around the FSX planes that i use, as a real pilot :). Is there a freeware one? I think both DBS Walk And Follow and EZdok are pretty expensive for what I need, but if no freeware or cheaper available, what would you recommend of the two? Thanks Somebody put something in my jet fuel Mircea http://img256.imageshack.us/img256/8481/mynn8.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toriu Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 I don't think Bob will work as your aircraft will not be shown when Bob is active. Ray http://www.oncourse-software.co.uk/forum_images/fdc_pfe_supporter.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdf369 Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Try FSRecorder, it has a camera system that uses FS2004 view modes in FSX. You can use a Tower camera and set it to the aircraft location, or a free spot view camera might work. You can move the camera around much like moving the camera position in the VC. And best of all, it's free! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atr_42_500 Posted February 3, 2016 Author Share Posted February 3, 2016 Thanks a lot, I will check FS recorder. Indeed Bob does not do it. Somebody put something in my jet fuel Mircea http://img256.imageshack.us/img256/8481/mynn8.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScatterbrainKid Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 ..I'm looking for a tool for making the walk around the FSX planes that i use, as a real pilot.. Not sure I understand. You could just go to default external view and pan around the aircraft, and use zoom ('-' and '='), and move camera position in/out with (ctrl '-' and ctrl '='), it gives you great flexibility, plus of course there's tower view which is zoomable.

atr_42_500 Posted February 5, 2016 Author Share Posted February 5, 2016 Thanks, but I was looking for something that gives more flexibility, like Active Camera in FS9.

evm Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 I am using EZDOK for this, it is a very useful tool. The walk arounds I do with TrackIR active while moving the camera with mouse and the keyboard - much like in a first person game. Feels very natural. It does have its quirks though. For example, the aircraft camera that I am using for the walk around, is tied to the planes' attitude. So walking round a taildragger is weird, as your normal view is tilted like the plane is. Maybe there is another option, but I haven't found it. But in the cockpit, especially with TrackIR, it is indispensable. By the click of a button I can switch between captain, FO and engineer, define fixed views for FMC or other instruments etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScatterbrainKid Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Another option- get rid of the instrument panel (there are several ways to do it) then you can use the slew keys to go to any point in the 3D world like a cameraman buzzing around a wedding party.
