flying_ Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 When I record a flight, I want to look around the cockpit in a smooth way. I tried to move with the mouse instead of the number pad, but occasionally when I use the mouse to look around once I press the space bar, the view takes a sharp jump, and that really ruins the realistic experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Welcome aboard! Had a real good joke that went well with your post title, but I think I'll skip it! If you don't already have a joystick with a hat switch, then that may be your best choice. The hat switch can be set up for the cockpit look mode. Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer!

rishabk97 Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 That jump happens because you have changed your mouse's position. If the mouse's position remains same and you press space bar, there won't be any sudden movement in the camera. http://www.crossed-flag-pins.com/animated-flag-gif/gifs/India_120-animated-flag-gifs.gifhttp://status.ivao.aero/414320.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

napamule2 Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 FltSimCom: 'llivaudais' , Posted: 09/20/2014 Simply, YES. in the Cameras.cfg (the copy in the folder with FSX.cfg) make the 2D camera definition switch from Ordinal to Swivel This will also allow you to simply pivot the horizon (2D 'raise seat') instead of having to use that ridiculous CTRL+Q insanity. ----------------------------- [CameraDefinition.001] Title = Cockpit 2D Guid = {B1386D92-4782-4682-A137-738E25D1BAB5} Description = 2D cockpit view Origin = Cockpit Track = None Category = Cockpit PanPbhAdjust = Swivel // ordinal PanPbhReturn = False // True SnapPbhAdjust = Ordinal SnapPbhReturn = False PitchPanRate=5 HeadingPanRate=15 PanAcceleratorTime=0 // instantaneous pan speed AllowZoom = TRUE InitialZoom = 1.0 // "reset level" SmoothZoomTime = 0 // instantaneous transition ZoomPanScalar = 0 // zps/zoom XyzAdjust = TRUE // I can move the camera ref point XyzRate = 0.25 // m/sec default rate ShowAxis = FrontOnly ShowLensFlare=FALSE ShowPanel = Yes ShowWeather = Yes MomentumEffect = FALSE Transition = No // between views HotKeySelect=1 // my choice to make it F9 instead of F10 ---------------------------------- hope this is what you are looking for...

flying_ Posted November 13, 2016 Author Share Posted November 13, 2016 Well I am not using a 2D cockpit, it's 3D. Will it still work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lnuss Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Well, I was thinking more along the lines of an addon that would solve the issue? TrackIR is an excellent way to do that, both in the video and for just flying the sim. Larry N. As Skylab would say: Remember: Aviation is NOT an exact Science!

evm Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Well, I was thinking more along the lines of an addon that would solve the issue? - EZDOK camera - ChasePlane - to a lesser extent: CameraPosition X (probably not smooth enough for your purposes) Or plug in an additional Xbox Controller and use it to control the views (like you would with the hat switch on a joystick).

napamule2 Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Well, I only re-posted what Loyd posted in 2014. I did not try it (no need). I use the numpad keys (Shift ON) to snap to different view when in 2D panel (which is rare). In VC I use the joy hat switch to pan around. If I am close and I want to locate a tiny grass strip I use 'Top Down View' in a window (press '[' key) and zoom out/in. With that I can line up without changing anything. KISS.
