September 14, 200916 yr I have the new PMDG Jetstream and am really loving it BUT I find it hard to read the annunciator panel.How can I move across so I am in front of it please? I know you can zoom in but being on an angle my 67 yo eyes find it even harder for some reason; silly old git I know!!!Is there a way please.regardsRichard Richard Binns MSFS 2020 & 2024- Asus ROG Strix Z390-E - Skylake i7 9700k - Asus Geforce RTX 4070 Super OC 12gb, 64gig G.Skill TridentZ DDR4 - Thermaltake Thor 850w Platinum PSU - Corsair H150i AIO Liquid CPU Cooler - H150i AIO Liquid CPU Cooler - Thermaltake V71 Case - Samsung SSD 850 EVO M.2 500GB - 2 x Samsung SSD 970 EVO Plus V-Nand 1TB
September 14, 200916 yr Richard,You can move to the FO seat (with pressing A or shift+A) and zoom in from his position. You have a good view from there. Once zoomed in the next time you only have to switch to FO seat to see the CAP in front of you.
September 14, 200916 yr Ctrl, Shift, and Backspace control direction of movement in FS.From memory (in class now) Shift+Backspace and Shift+Enter is up/down. Ctrl+Backspace and Ctrl+Enter is forward and backward. Ctrl+Shift+Backspace and Ctrl+Shift+Enter is right and left.Not sure about the order, but i know those three keyboard keys control VC movement.Good luck
September 14, 200916 yr Richard,If you still have the default keys setup spacebar will control mouse look. Press and hold spacebar, then you can use your mouse to look around and the scroll wheel on the mouse to zoom in.
September 14, 200916 yr Looking around is a cinch with a joystick hatswitch.great product...fantastic plane !
September 14, 200916 yr Author Thanks to all below for your help. :( :( :( From Chaos81 - Press and hold spacebar, then you can use your mouse to look around and the scroll wheel on the mouse to zoom in.From KylanWalters - Ctrl+Shift+Backspace and Ctrl+Shift+Enter is right and left.From CapP - You can move to the FO seat (with pressing A or shift+A) and zoom in from his position. You have a good view from there. Once zoomed in the next time you only have to switch to FO seat to see the CAP in front of you.And yes I can also use the hatswitch on my Proflight Yoke in any of those new positions - Fantastic.Gosh what a differance you have made to my enjoyment in this SUPER aircraft.Now the jolly old eyes dont have any diffuclties.kind regards to allRichard Richard Binns MSFS 2020 & 2024- Asus ROG Strix Z390-E - Skylake i7 9700k - Asus Geforce RTX 4070 Super OC 12gb, 64gig G.Skill TridentZ DDR4 - Thermaltake Thor 850w Platinum PSU - Corsair H150i AIO Liquid CPU Cooler - H150i AIO Liquid CPU Cooler - Thermaltake V71 Case - Samsung SSD 850 EVO M.2 500GB - 2 x Samsung SSD 970 EVO Plus V-Nand 1TB
September 15, 200916 yr Already posted it in a couple of threads, but I thought I would post it here as well in case you didn't know about this: There was a thread in which Armen told us about X-Mouse. Which basically allows you to look around the cockpit by pressing the "wheel" on your mouse alone. It's awesome! I have used it only for the past few days and I am loving it.Download and install X-Mouse HEREThen in FSX controls, assign ENTER (instead of SPACE) to "Mouse - View Direction". You will see 3 of them but just change the first one. And in the X-Mouse control window, assign ENTER to the Wheel Button on your mouse. Now you can look around the flight deck by pressing the wheel. You can even zoom in while looking around the flight deck all by using the wheel on your mouse.
