Cannot zoom in or move around cockpit with mouse.

Recommended Posts

Haven't used FSX in a year and went back in to fly. I used to be able to move the mouse around the cockpit and scroll (zoom in and out) with the mouse. Now, I just get the cross when I hit the space bar. Have researched this site extensively and have tried everything, i.e., hit the space bar, yoke lock, etc, but nothing has worked. I need to move around the cockpit and zoom in to enable certain items. Would really appreciate it if someone could help me enable the mouse to work. Thanks

ok, after looking more, I now can go into virtual cockpit and it will pan and zoom. I swear I tried that before. I wanted it to do this under views, view mode,cockpit, cockpit. I can live with this by switching to virtual cockpit. Thanks poak for your reply. Reed

Try this:

 

File cameras.cfg - Location C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX

Change the red entries only.

 

[CameraDefinition.001]
Title = "Cockpit"
Guid = {B1386D92-4782-4682-A137-738E25D1BAB5}
Description = This is the description of the cockpit view
Origin = Cockpit
ShowPanel = Yes
SnapPbhAdjust = [color=#ff0000][b]Swivel[/b][/color]
SnapPbhReturn = No
PanPbhAdjust = [color=#ff0000][b]Swivel[/b][/color]
PanPbhReturn = No
Track = None
ShowAxis = Frontonly
AllowZoom = Yes
InitialZoom = 1.00
SmoothZoomTime = 2.00
ShowWeather = Yes
XyzAdjust = Yes
ShowLensFlare=No
Category = Cockpit
[b][color=#ff0000]PitchPanRate = 10.0
HeadingPanRate = 15.0
[/color][/b]Panacceleratortime = 0.0
HotKeySelect = 2

 

Be aware: panning/zooming in 2D view only affects the enivironment. The 2D panel and popups always stay fixed.

Should be modified in [CameraDefinition.001] section.

Be sure you edit the file in the correct location! NOT the one in FSX Root!!!

 

If the parameter already exists (eg. SnapPbhAdjust = Ordinal), modify it to Swivel.

If a parameter doesn't exist yet in the section (eg. PitchPanRate = 10.0) , add the complete line.

Leave the guid= {...} line alone.
