September 16, 201015 yr Hi guys,I have just updated my rig and am running 4 displays. I use 1 for the 2d panel below the windscreen. When I start a flight, I switch to the 2d cockpit and drag it to the lower display, so I have a full view out. Here is the problem, I cant pan view, only snap view. Is this normal or is there another way to open the windows, have no vc view and still be able to pan? thanks
September 17, 201015 yr The original cameras.cfg (which you didn't mention - so I assume it is still unedited) has the pan function for the 2D cockpit set to the Ordinal method so it works the same as the buttons - in 45° increments.The original PanPbhAdjust = OrdinalPanPbhReturn = Trueneeds to be changed to PanPbhAdjust = SwivelPanPbhReturn = Falseyou will also probably want fixed panning speed so it will have to be addedPitchPanRate=30 // as desired- degrees per secondHeadingPanRate=75 // as desired- degrees per secondPanAcceleratorTime=0Of course, as soon as you pan past 45° from front, you will see the inside of the aircraft because the 2D is really just a variation of the VC.If you want to pan an unobstructed 360° view, you will need to move the viewpoint below or above the aircraft so the view stays outside.To move it easily you should add a rate parameter (which is absent in the original)XyzRate = 1.0 // meters per secondI typically just modify the tail view with the same movement control parameters and recode the location to be just under the fuselage. Lets me pan 360°, watch landing gear and pick leaves when I'm close enough to treetops.here's my ultralight "modified tail camera" parameter changes if you'd like to try an easy one...InitialZoom = .60SmoothZoomTime = 0.5ShowWeather = YesInitialXyz = 0.0, -1.8, -2.0 // 1.8m down, 2m backInitialPbh = 12, 0, 0 // 12° down from levelXyzAdjust = TRUExyzRate=0.3 // .3m/sec movementPitchPanRate=5HeadingPanRate=30PanAcceleratorTime=0Category=OutsideMomentumEffect = FALSEadjust any value to your preference.Cameras.cfg in the same folder as FSX.cfg: C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Microsoft\FSXLoyd Hooked since FS4... now flying: FSX Acceleration on Win7/64, Core Duo E8400; GA-EP45-DS3R; GTX 460-768MB; 4G RAM; Freezer 7 Pro
