setting up and saving a custom view in FSX

[hsv]

Hi all

 

I want to set up a custom view for the cockpit of my helicopter. I wont to look out the left side and down to simulate looking at a under slug load.

I moved my eye point to the view I want and saved the flight. I want to be able to replace the default views so when I cycle through the views I have just the virtual cockpit and my custom view.

Question is

 

When I set up the view I want, do I save this is a new saved flight or over wright the current flight with the new view

The coordinates of the new view where are the stored and where to I copy and paste when so I only have my new custom view and virtual cockpit

 

 

Regards

Have a look at this (payware) utility:

I know nothing about the link above, but without add-ons you'll need the SDK and you can create a new camera view, either for every aircraft or just for an individual aircraft. In the aircraft.cfg file, you'll see entries such as:

 

[CameraDefinition.0]

Title = "Right Wing"

Guid = {C690EAFD-223A-42d0-99E0-681ADF93BB59}

Description = View from the right wing looking at the cockpit

Origin = Center

SnapPbhAdjust = Swivel

SnapPbhReturn = FALSE

PanPbhAdjust = Swivel

PanPbhReturn = FALSE

Track = None

ShowAxis = FALSE

AllowZoom = TRUE

InitialZoom = 1.0

ShowWeather = Yes

InitialXyz = 11.5, 0.7, -0.2

InitialPbh = 5, 0, 275

XyzAdjust = TRUE

Category=Aircraft

ClipMode=Minimum

 

which define specific views (note the Description line). There can also be similar segments in the cameras.cfg file which, in my FSX, is located in C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX. How to do this is in the SDK.
