I have recently changed PC's and come to realise that my fs9.cfg was heavily modified in various ways. However having not make a backup of the fs9.cfg before wiping my old system I am having difficultly in recalling the text required to allow the 2D cockpit view to remain "locked" after pressing one of the numeric keypad keys;i..e To look left in 2D you press four however when releasing the key the view reverts forward. I am sure there was a mod that allowed the view to remain until you pressed one which moved you back, looking forward.Does anybody have the required text to add to the fs9.cfg?

HelloIf you download a freeware FS9/X tweaking program called FLUSIFIX one of its many options is one that will do exactly what you describe I.E. when you use the numeric keys to select a view in 2D that view will remain there without you having to hold down the key.To revert to normal 2d forward view just hit the space bar.You don't have to do any manual CFG editing yourself,just select that option and FLUSIFIX will do it for you.I don't have web site link for flusifix,but either google it or somebody here at AVSIM will probably supply it.cheers Andy

This is not a cfg level tweak but works well for me: If I hold my joystick hat switch so that I am looking in the appropriate direction and press 'S' to go into VC view, then release the hat switch and press 'shift-S' to go back to the 2D view, the viewing direction / window will be locked to wherever it was when I first pressed 'S' ... until I press the hat switch again which resets it to normal...Geoff

A new trick from an old dog. If your in the 2D mode and you want to say hold down a view that you pull up by keying one of the number key pads, say the 90 * right hand view, press and HOLD down the #6 keypad key and while still holding down the #6 key, press and release the "number lock key", then let go of the #6 key and the right 90* view will be LOCKED into place. (I think, I'm going from memory here) do the reverse steps and you'll have your original view back. jerrycwo4

Hello chapsI still reckon FLUSIFIX is the best option.No fiddling with other keys,hat switch etc just hold down one numeric key for each view.IMHO of course,cheers Andy :(

The FS default "Look-----" commands (see Assignments) uses the numeric KB keys (with Num Lock on) to set up a view. To lock a view in place, use Control + a Num key.If you change these View assignments to Shift + a Num key, each Num key stroke by itself, will both set AND lock the view. Very handy- especially when setting up triple views. <grin>Alex Reid

You can use FlusiFix if you want to, but it is not necessary. A very simple edit to the FS9.cfg file is all that is required.I explain what is involved in this post at Flightsim:http://forums.flightsim.com/vbfs/showthrea...d=1#post1446287Hope that helps.

HA!Why bother with all that CFG fiddling when flusi will do all that for you automatically and reverse the process for you if want as well.AND! You can try all the other tweaks that FLUSI offers as well.BEAT THAT THEN!.Andy :(

Because I prefer not to try to figure out the German on the interface and I like to make my own edits rather than "trust" a utility to do so.Different strokes for different folks as they say.

I've used Flusifix to make the changes to fs9.cfg.Can't believe I;ve not come across this program before.Thank you for all you help.

Hello!There is an another method: Just reasign each and all yours num-lock buttons inside FS9 to exatly as the same as std. config. Next time you hit f.i. #7, the views locks at forward left. To get out, just hit #8.Thor Henning Pauslen
