Find the line of code that is the equator and remove it / disable it?!

This I do not understand!

I have done one thing and one thing only to eliminate this IMHO nauseating 'feature' in FSX. Camera.cfg/virtual cockpit/dynamicheadmovement = 0

 

Sorry this doesn't work for you.

Yes this well known meanwhile - funny thing is that the SDK says the syntax must be YES or NO instead TRUE or FALSE anyway I tried both - sitll moving.

Hmm, which [CameraDefinition.XX] are you changing these settings on?

User - AppData - Roaming - Microsoft - FSX - Cameras.cfg

and I searched otheres and in the PMDG planes as well

 

This comes from the FSX SDK site

 

momentumeffect    bool    Yes/No  

Virtual Cockpit( MomentumEffect = Yes )

 

Controls whether the camera exhibits momentum effect. This is determined by the settings in the Dynamic Head Movement section.

Write False instead of Yes/No.

Write False instead of Yes/No.

Of course I tried this. No result.

Actually I do not have it in the monent cause I am on ipad. But please go with the ngx or md11 to edds or eddm and drive a circle on the apron and look if it moves. It moves really less in norway.

 

You can copy the lines of the cameras.cfg direct here in the threat. It is just a copy paste.

I actually like having the momentum effects. But in any case, the region where you're flying shouldn't really matter...

 

This is what my cameras.cfg looks like for the Virtual Cockpit setup:

 

 

 

[CameraDefinition.002]
Title = Virtual Cockpit
Guid = {C95EAB58-9E4A-4E2A-A34C-D8D9D948F078}
Description = This is the description of the virtual cockpit view.
Origin = Virtual Cockpit
MomentumEffect = Yes
SnapPbhAdjust = Swivel
SnapPbhReturn = False
PanPbhAdjust = Swivel
PanPbhReturn = False
Track = None
ShowAxis = YES
AllowZoom = TRUE
InitialZoom = 0.7
SmoothZoomTime = 2.0
ZoomPanScalar = 1.0
ShowWeather = Yes
XyzAdjust = TRUE
ShowLensFlare=FALSE
Category = Cockpit
PitchPanRate=30
HeadingPanRate=75
PanAcceleratorTime=0
HotKeySelect=1
 
 
Hmm, apparently mine has "yes" as a setting.

You see it is YES and NO. But anyway No or False doesn't stop the view drifting. I konw it should not have a geographical impact - but it has. Others found the same problem. Try and you will see. But I do not want to bother you with this phenomen. I only want to stop it.

I currently have my rudder pedals and yoke uninstalled in preparation for the 777, but I will get back to you.

I guess if PMDG does not do anything against that Head movement it will be worse in the 777 cause it is a big plane and the POV is far away from the Center of the plane, like in their MD11 and 747. But maybe they cannot cause this is just FSX and only a change in the FSX code could change it like some people say.

@linux BTW why do you deinstall your hardware cause you wait for the 777?

Cheers Tom

Well I didn't uninstall my yoke and stuff specifically for the 777. I had to clean my desktop before my new keyboard & mouse arrive(which both arrive today!). :P
