I've asked several times now, and on several forums, but still haven't had a response that helps. So if you've any ideas on this, I'd be mega grateful...

 

I'm just trying to find out HOW to get smooth, slow panning in spot view for making FSX videos. Using the HAT switch on the flight controller gives a jerky response, unlike I've seen on many other videos.

 

I don't have Track-IR but do have Ezdok, which can be used to change VC panning, but I can't see how to do this in spot view.

 

The short YouTube example below shows what I mean....

 

Switch on mouse look, either by holding the spacebar down and moving the mouse, or is you wish you can toggle the same function on and off with Shift+O (not zero).

 

I think you can adjust the sensitivity of the mouse movement in the control settings menu in FSX, I seem to remember the mouse has some sensitivity sliders there somewhere once you have selected mouse in the axis/joystick drop down box.

 

EZdok also has a mouse look facility built in too.

Many thanks for that Andy, will go check it out. Don't think i've ever used that before!

An example of a video with panning done using mouse look with the spacebar, recorded with FRAPS, and then camera shake was added afterwards with After Effects.

Make sure you are in *Locked Spot View*. Too, you can slow the simulation rate down to half speed to record frc files or FRAPS clips.
