It doesn't seem like it should be too hard for asobo to do that. They should of had flight simmers consulting with them when they wrote the program.

Thanks. I'll try that.

I've changed lots of things and it works good. You just have to know what you're doing, and learn from you mistakes. No pain, no gain!

The cub x has a nice gps nearest airport feature, where you can goto many local airports, with only the mouse. You don't have to turn any little knobs at all.

Except for the better scenery, fsx was a lot better. You could have your instrument panel on one display, and a spot view of the plane and the scenery on another. The program has many other problems that aren't just bugs. The panes don't fly well in my opinion.

I just noticed today that the plane flies a lot different in autopilot with a 4x sim rate. That shouldn't happen.

No Tower view... remember, this is NOT a MicroSoft produced product, so it's NOT built ontop of FSX. As stated when first announced, this Sim was built from scratch, without MS, by Asobo.

 

As for the top down view, it's in the external camera... Look Down.

 

Yea but I want it in it's own window so I can see it at the same time as other views. You know, like multiple windows.

The big mistake was going to asobo. They should of gotten as many of the original fsx developers as they could, and started from there. All they needed was a fsx with better scenery.

The reason is is overexposed is that 67% of the picture is the inside of the cockpit, which is a lot darker than outside. Any camera photo would do that. Go into external view from outside the plane, and see how it looks.

I don't think so. No top down view either.

I did my japan update, and sure enough they overwrite the camera.cfg files I had modified. So you have to back them up to a different location, or you will have to start from scratch!

So really, with no map and a lack of proper VOR navigation (no DME info) it's really just for flying around pretty cities isn't it.

 

Are you saying french people are stupid?

I guess we have to use simratebandit until asobo adds a sim rate display. It's nice it has a voice calling out the sim rate, so you don't have to change windows.

I notice with altitude and vertical speed switched off, the trim is still moving by itself. Autopilot seems very flakey.

I found out the cessna 150 aerobatic has a good description of what all the numbers we're interested in, in it's camera.cfg file. I think my problem with the dev mode window change aircraft, was I was double clicking on the aircraft name. Just single click it and then click load.

I've found that some planes don't have a "FixedOnPlane_Tail" view. They call it something else. Also the developer mode window to change aircraft doesn't always work. I keep clicking on a different plane and it won't turn yellow. So I have to restart the whole program. Very time consuming. Also I was thinking when asobo does an update, they might overwrite the camera.cfg files you modify, so it might be a good idea to save backup copies of them somewhere else.

There are commands that can be assigned in the sim, but downloading the FsSimRateBandit from the library is a better option.

 

Why should you have to use a 3rd party program to add functionality that any 7th grade programer could add in 5 minutes. That's pretty stupid. Everytime there's something wrong with this program, we're gonna need a 3rd party app to fix it?

I have been here on this forum for 5 minutes and have just read such negativity, the Sim has been live for not even a week, ground breaking tech literally just seen the light of day....I have bugs, quite a few bugs, I'm not worried because they will be fixed.

 

Who cares wether other Sims are this and that, MSFS is less than a week old publicly and already a much better foundation than anything previous.

 

I feel privileged to be a part of something next gen, but I'll head back over to the Microsoft forums where they don't reek of such negative bad vibes, but believe and have optimism as to the potential this Sim has when things start to iron out.

 

If the program worked, there wouldn't be bad vibes!

I must be missing something in this discussion. I just use the external view from the menu when flying and get what looks like the FSX locked spot view which can be moved with the POV hat switch on my controller and zoomed with the mouse wheel. Now if we are talking about a separate window, that's another matter.

 

Can you go as far away from the plane with that if you want?

There seems to be a limit to how far you can be behind the plane. 200 wasn't much different than 20. The chronology of this thread is all screwed up. Oh well.

 

Actually I don't think there is a limit.

I got it working. It's the same as fsx and prepare3d. While testing I ran prepare3d at the same time as 2200 on my computer. At first it worked good, but later I was getting lag big big big time on 2200. Even after I closed prepare3d it was lagging, so maybe prepare3d doesn't free up resources properly. I had to restart 2200.

Thanks gtox. It's working for me now! I thought ctrl shift 1 was the external default but it's not.

 

These numbers work pretty good for extra

 

Initialxyz=0,7,-15

Initialpbh=-20,0,0

 

But now I know how to do. Thanks a million gtox!

That's good I'll try those numbers.

I want to use the direct to flight with Cessna 172. I put in the airport code and click enter. Then the gps says activate, but when I click enter again nothing happens.
