I'm using the AoA downloadable NGX Ezdok settings - but even with a pretty soft landing (200fps according to FSPAX) I get a "bounce" visually that takes me quite out of the immersion.

 

Anyone got any tweaks to help with this, please? I really like the other AoA settings, in terms of runway bumps, turbulence etc - just want to reduce the landing shake.

There are settings within EZCA control panel to finely tune the camera effects in all scenarios. There are also a few good videos on youtube regarding this exact question that will show you what to do. Hope this helps.

That's your problem right there

There is a section in the bottom right of the DHM effects settings dialog box, that is specifically for setting "Landing Effect" However, i would use the main level adjustment at the bottom left.

 

By the way, did you mean 200fpm rather than fps?

 

Regards,

Try 30 fpm in stead of 200

200fpm is quite a hard landing imo. That is 3.3 feet/1 meter per second. I'd feel that as a quite bumpy landing.

It's not that hard, the undercarriage will easily absorb that impact. It certainly shouldn't be jarring enough to make the EZCA view bounce as described.

I know what you mean, I was getting the same annoying effect on almost every landing I make, it's easily fixed with manually playing with the settings though (RND, DHM, CR). I don't remember what to do exactly but the manuals should help you. Hint : right click the dynamic effects buttons to change settings parameters associated with the effect.

 

these are my modified NGX EZCA effects if you want to try them.

 

EDIT : for some reason I cannot attach files, unsupported types, zip doesn't work either, are only TXT files allowed?

I would also like to try your effects Ahmed. I just wanted to make a topic about this very same problem. In the vc it looks like a very hard landing but from the spot view it is quite smooth.

I feel like the general AOA EZDOK NGX settings are far too light.. I increased my settings a little so I get better immersion, Check out my latest video on youtube [departing bergen] for an example.

Thanks for the comments. Glad it's not just me.

 

Yes, I typo'd - 200 fpm was what I meant (since 200fps would be ummm... 12000fpm!!) I disagree that it's particulary heavy, from what I've read a firm landing is to be preferred... but anyway.

 

Ahmed, if you could try PM me your setup, that would be appreciated.

 

Failing that, I'll mess about a bit as has been suggested and see if I can improve the effect.

I would def. be interested in those settings as well I cant seem to find the sweet spot with this thing. I also use the AOA settings and finf them way to lite. When I tinker with them seems like I get shook clear out of the left seat.

I had the same problem with EZCA, and also -200 (-) you're going down not up* is a pretty hard one for me. except for times when there's strong winds, low visibility, or bumpy, in addition short runways. cheers.

sorry guys for the very late reply, I'll try uploading the files to dropbox or something similar and post the links later.

Hitting the ground at a descent rate of 200fpm:

The landing gear might absorb it once but don't be surprised if it doesn't. Frankly I don't see how a pilot can maintain either proper airspeed or proper AoA for a landing at that rate.

In any event, i agree that EZdok is a bit too much on the head movement but I am not smart enough to figure out how to adjust all those little dials.
