Well, I wouldn't call this 'true' perspective tweak as this is really only a matter of preference.I always have the view zoomed out as much as possible when flying VFR (in FLIGHT and FSX) because from RW experience I know that the peripheral vision is extremely important during visual maneuvering.Also the sense of speed is more realistic at a wider angle which is e.g. especially noticable approaching the runway on short final.Can't imagine doing a 3 point landing in the Stearman with 1.0 zoom. That would be pure guessing instead of seeing in the final stages.....

Same here. In FSX I always used 0.40 (wide at true), so I guess that's why I like the default MS Flight view... apart from the position in the VC, that is (which I have to fix with Control-E all the time). I tried the 1.0 zoom, but I feel caught in a box with it! Of course it's great to have all these options!

Would you consider writing up a brief tutorial on this and placing it in the new "Tutorial" section here? It should be filed in the "Microsoft's Flight Game" category, Early Tutorials...http://forum.avsim.n...arly-tutorials/I'm sure it would be truly appreciated by everyone who owns TrackIR......I know I sure would!

Sure, I'm working on it as we speak.

Just noticed that Kabronicus posted this tweak before me in the "Early Tutorials" section. Sorry if I've trod on anyones toes here. Didn't notice this before.To Kolaf: Got GlovePie to work using the script "Mouse.RightButton = not joy.Button1" which maps my Joystick button number 1 to Mouse right. Clicking Joy button1 sets up mouselook a treat as you don't have to hold down the button, just click again to release. Mouse right button still works as it should. You can set this up for any key or button you want.Hope this helps in your tutorial for setting up TrackIR.Using GlovePie I think there is a way to hide the mouse cursor, but i haven't worked it out yet.Using the new 1.0 zoom and pressing backspace works for me - it does not reset to 0.6 view. Not sure why it doesn't work for some of you. Make sure you change "IntialZoom".Cub.

The first version of the tutorial is up, but it is currently marked as "queued". I guess it will become available sooner or later. In the meantime I can show you a short video I created that explains how my current script works.

Edit:Here is the script I use.

if Pressed(Joystick3.Button6) then   if var.look = True then	  Mouse.MiddleButton = 0	  wait 100 ms	  Mouse.RightButton = 1   else	   Mouse.RightButton = 0	   wait 100 ms	   Mouse.MiddleButton = 1   end   toggle(var.look)endif Pressed(Joystick3.Button5) then   Mouse.RightButton = 0   Mouse.MiddleButton = 0endif Released(Joystick3.Button5) then   key.BackSpace = 1   wait 100 ms   key.BackSpace = 0   Mouse.RightButton = 1end

Any source where we can have a clean version of the mouse software? I get a warning from AV about an adware threath?

If you mean GlovePie: http://glovepie.org/glovepie_download.php

Try this link: http://glovepie.en.softonic.com/ click on "Free Download" green button. It comes complete with comprehensive instructions - a great program.Cub.

Thank you so very much! I approved it this morning and made it a 'sticky' so it will remain at the top of the list, along with two other of the 'most critical' of the tutorials/tips/tweaks.

All submissions are placed on hold until I've had a chance to review it and make any needed edits for spelling, formatting, ease of reading, logic flow, et cetera. Your submission needed nothing but my admiration and final "okay," which was quite refreshing.

You are too kind :)

It might seem that way, but honestly I've spent up to an hour or more "editing" some submissions to make them readable in the past... :good:

No problem.Tweaking Flight to all of our needs is going to be a long process, so the more ideas; the better. =)

I hate to rain on your parade n4gix but you missed the spelling mistake on the first line of the tutorial ! lol........... :Hypnotized:Regards,Cub 1.

Why so I did. That's what I get for not having drunk enough coffee yet. I managed to find a stray "m" under some papers here on my desk, and fixed it right up!Thanks! :clapping:

thanks to Kolaf for the tutorial... its working now.Thanks all the others that pointed to the GlovePie utility, nice little one...I changed the script to make it simpler by keeping only the righbutton toggle function. I assigned this to the same button I use to select the cockpit view so pushing the button alternatively toggle the trackir on or off (not perfect but it's much better than no Track IR).

That makes sense, it is not always a good solution to try to cover all the bases at the same time ;)
