PMDG 737-800 fisheye issue

[jasonboche 7]

Hello, Every once in a while I get this fisheye view on the external spot view of the PMDG 737-800. I don't know of any way to fix it while in game. It is very annoying. Zooming in or out using the +/- keys or hitting Backspace doesn't resolve the fisheye zoom issue. Quitting FSX and starting a new flight resolves the issue. If you know of a cause/fix, I'd appreciate it. Thank you.

This always happens to me (when it happens) on a second flight without completely restarting FSX.

For some reason the external cam point gets bugged.

 

If you plan on flying multiple flights but are changing aircraft/location, restart the entire sim. Fixes the issue.

Exactly the same for me.

Good tip,,, I think you may be on to something. I mean that, when I do sparsely have the issue, it's when I'm flying an additional leg after a previously flown one without restarting. I'm not positive but that sounds like it might fit.

 

Thank you both for replying!

Out of curiosity... Do you use 'Locked Spot' on the external cam?

Pull the view point back and zoom in. I think it's Ctrl+ the + and - keys (Alphanumeric, the ones hnear backspace and above letter P [ and ].

Thanks for the tips - I'll try them next time this happens!

I just wanted to follow up with some closure here - it happened again last night and CTRL + SPACE and then a followup zoom in or BACKSPACE worked like a charm. Thanks again.

Glad to see you fixed it Jason, blue skies and smooth sailing!
