I love to look at my plane as I fly from ALL views available to me. One of my favorite programs is, of course, Active Camera 2004. As I cycle through my views...2D, VC, Spot, and Active Camera Fly-by, I notice that my plane is inevitably "crabbing across the sky". I cannot see the indication of this inside the cockpit (no slip). What is causing this? It looks positivly unreal and wierd. Is it a problem with Active Camera or is this really happening? I would appreciate some explanation of this or any suggestion of settings that I could check. Thanks, Stan

umm..basically,if you are flying with crosswinds,it should be crabbing,even on autopilot.i do not know for sure it is right,but,my planes do it as well,and as i have winds coming from the left or right,it is crabbing into the wind to maintain track.it's basically something as fi the aircraft pitching 2 degrees nose up,to maintain the most efficient aoa,whereas a lot of people feel it should fly perfectly level.i stink at explaining this,so maybe a guru will step up and say it even better ;-)have fun,
