Getting familiar with FSX... guess it's about time, ha! From what I gather there is no longer a spot view you can select like in FS2004 that you can have in a fixed position (the camera view does not move as you turn the aircraft). Is there a way to create this type a view?

Not sure about this, but perhaps you should try the "locked spot" view?

In the 'locked spot view' part in your cameras.cfg (NOT the one in the FSX root menu, but the one where your fsx.cfg is) change the line 'track' to:Track = FixedChaseLockedThat's the (much nicer) old fs9 versionBest regardsBernt

Excellent Tip - Thanks for sharing!

Thx Bernt,Not quite what I was looking for. That is still like the Locked Spot option.The view I am looking for is NOT to have a fixed view of the aircraft when it turns but the camera view is stationary - does not follow the angle so you are always looking at the same view of the aircraft. In FS2004 you could select VIEW, VIEW OPTIONS and then you had a drop down box where you could choose either ROLL, LOOP or FIXED. I am wanting FIXED. FSX seems to only have the ROLL option (which is more like FIXED in FSX).But now I see where adjustments can be made in the camera.cfg file so I can experiment. Unless someone already has done this to there cfg.?

Ah, found the answer. If you go into the camera.cfg, [CameraDefinition.003] for Spot View change the 'Track = FlatChaseLocked' to 'Track = FixedChase'. What's funny is it's not in the SDK, I just made up the term (what I thought would be common sense), and whoolaah it works, ha!
