October 24, 201213 yr How is Opus in setting up its weather engine when it starts? How long does it take before you are ready to fly into real weather? Once you have Opus weather configured, you shouldn't have to do anything other than launch it. That's it. I launch Opus before I start FS. By the time the sim loads, weather has already been injected and I'm ready to go. Regards, Kevin LaMal "Facts Don't Care About Your Feelings" - Shapiro2024
October 24, 201213 yr I know that you cannot use Opus and EZCA Sure you can. If you want to use EZCA just turn off the cameras in Opus using the configuration tab. You still have Opus weather. I'm still using EZCA only because I haven't set up the cameras in Opus to my satisfaction yet.
October 24, 201213 yr Also I am convinced of this great adonn, go purchase it also. :lol: I now use AS2012 but OpusFSX does look much better.I gonna use the AS2012 textures because they look great.In AS2012 you can install several weather themes,I use the "infinity" theme and this looks great in the demo.Maybe somebody knows there is a theme what looks much better or does it makes no difference.What theme are you using in OpusFSX?
October 24, 201213 yr This weekend i am going to start setting up cameras with intention of removing ezca. Ezca works fine for me but if i can get the same views with this, including better motion effects, then it will be better to run just the one program. The one part of the cameras i dont like is the head movement when banking. Fine in vfr but in the NGX i dont want to be looking out of the window when banking when i should be following the flight director.
October 24, 201213 yr True feebee, keep us posted, I am not thrilled by EZ interface, frankly I dont get half of it. Allthough I love the 3D views and smooth transitions in EZ im happy to get two in one; WX + cam.

You can disable head movement when banking in the Automatic Head Movement Dialog. Regards, Rick Hobbs
October 24, 201213 yr Cool, will read the manual and camera setup guide at weekend. Had quick look at the camera function when first installed but cameras are now temporarily disabled.
October 25, 201213 yr Sure you can. If you want to use EZCA just turn off the cameras in Opus using the configuration tab. You still have Opus weather. I'm still using EZCA only because I haven't set up the cameras in Opus to my satisfaction yet. Oh, ok. Now if you have DBS Walk and Follow, I suppose you will have to disable Opus before you can enable the W&F, like you do with EZCA? Robert Yunque
October 25, 201213 yr I have removed EZCA, one less dll loading at fsx start up. Opus cameras work fine and are easier to set up. The DHM is 100% more realistic, acceleration data is spot on.

October 25, 201213 yr Oh, ok. Now if you have DBS Walk and Follow, I suppose you will have to disable Opus before you can enable the W&F, like you do with EZCA? Robert, That I don't know. There is a demo version you can download and try.
October 25, 201213 yr Robert, That I don't know. There is a demo version you can download and try. Thank you for your help. I believe I will go ahead and buy it tonight. It seems like everyone likes it a lot, and I really haven't found a weather engine that I really like. Robert Yunque

October 25, 201213 yr Commercial Member We have implemented DHM (pilot) and DAM (aircraft) shake on the server and will next implement for the clients. Regards Cheryl
October 25, 201213 yr I have removed EZCA, one less dll loading at fsx start up. Opus cameras work fine and are easier to set up. The DHM is 100% more realistic, acceleration data is spot on. Any tip on how you completely removed EZ?
