View in VC-help please .This is a real puzzler,I tell you.

Hello all.

I'm a long time FSX player. I am trying to help a friend with a real pussler of a view problem It is baffling me.

He is running windows 7 on a good computer. He flys mostly G.A.

No problem in 2d cockpit.

If he goes to Virtual cockpit, then the HAT switch gives good views panning.both up and down AND side to side whilst sat at the airport.

Now, when he switches on the engines he cannot view side to side- it stutters and only goes a little way. The Up /dpwn panning is fine.

Strange eh?

This happens whatever button command is used to start the engines. Ctrl/E or whatever is chosen as an alternative.

We checked the Controls/buttons list and no other function had Ctrl/E which might conflict. Resetting the defaults didn't correct it.

It even happens when using the glider!

We tried it with trackir 5 uninstalled in case ther was a conflict. No change. When trackir 5 was re installed, it worked perfectly as did the Hat switch - UNTIL the engines were started! Then the problem returned.

On checking the cfg file I noticed the display was 54?? x 1080x 32-- This was when he used Triple Headto Go { three screen system }

So I changed it back to 1920 x1080x32 but no change to the problem

This is what I think is favourite as to where the problem lies.But where?

I noticed there was a Camera cfg and a set of entries re the Vrtual cockpit. We compared it to his installation of FSX on his laptop { which doesn't have the problem } and we found No difference between the two Camera cfgs.

So. I am now stumped and wondered if any of you expert guys could assist please.

TIA
