Virtual Cockpit scrolling -- question

Featured Replies

Hello everyone,Most FSX aircraft have at least a VC-captain's view and a VC- first officier's view. What I noticed (also with the PMDG MD-11) is that the VC-captain's view is always very "nervous", when scrolling through the cockpit with my POV hat; while the VC- first officier's view is much better to control with the POV.A wonderful exception of this behaviour is the PMDG B747-8i. In this aircraft, the VC- captain's view scrolls also very smooth, using the POV.My first question is: How did PMDG manage this for the 747-8i? My second question is (of course): Can I change something in the panel.cfg myself, to achieve in other aircraft, this smooth scrolling as it is in the 747-8i?Very interested in an answer.Kind regards.Henk Altena

I don't understand,Are you talking about the pan rate with the hat switch?

Sorry, I was not clear enough. On my Saitek flight yoke, there is this button, which let me scroll up/down and left/right in the Virtula cockpit and also during spot plane.But indeed, you did understand it right though,talking about the hat switch. Hope, my quesions can be answered.Henk

You´re talking about the gradual acceleration on FO view using a pan command, versus the constant pan speed of the Captain´s view, right? I really don´t know how to configure this, but there may be an answer in the FS Developer community. But wait and someone here will appear with an more useful answer.

I think the slow-scroll is true with any non-captian view. Take the FSX 738 out and go into the tail view. It scrolls slowly. Its an FSX thing.

I've noticed for those slow slew views, that if you move your hat switch (or whatever is tied to your slew) back and forth just a little it will speed up very fast. However, if you stop moving in any direction it will revert back to it's set slew speed. So in example what I do is move my hat switch left, then immediately right, then left again and it is fast. You can use this method to speed it up pretty fast actually.
