After uninstalling OpusFSX I still have a camera found when right-clicking in FSX and then choosing the Aircraft menu option.

 

In that list regardless what aircraft I'm in I have a camera called OpusFSX Aircraft View and I want to get rid of it since I no longer have OpusFSX installed but I haven't been able to find it after looking in all files I can think of having anything to do with cameras in FSX...

 

 

Could be mistaken, but isn't in the aircraft.cfg for each plane?

Thanks for trying to help Jim but nope...already checked the aircraft.cfg file for the a/c I'm flying (PMDG NGX) but since this view also is in the list when I select any other a/c it must be a more "general" place it's stored but I just can't find it...very annoying I can't find a simple thing like this after all these years with FS... :lol:

On Win XP it's under:

 

C:\documents and settings\#username#\application data\Microsoft\FSX\Cameras.cfg

 

look for the entry 

Category=Aircraft

There's a cameras.cfg in C:\Users\“user name”\Appdata\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX\cameras.cfg.  There are camera.cfg's that apply to specific aircraft in the respective aircraft.cfg.  I do not own OPUS (please don't shoot me - :lol: ) but I would suspect it is also located in the C:\Users folder where the main camera.cfg is located.  It could also be in the main FSX directory but logically it would be in the hidden User folder.  When you uninstall programs, they are not completely uninstalled in many circumstances (just ask those who have tried to uninstall FSX!). 

 

Best regards,

Extract from our Live Camera documentation...

 

If you wish to disable Live Camera and remove the Opus custom views from your aircraft.cfg files then disable Live Camera in the Configuration dialog. A message box informs you that Live Camera is removing the Camera Definitions from all aircraft.cfg files for you. These changes will NOT be noticeable until you either restart FSX, or reload a completely different aircraft type forcing FSX to reload the modified cfg file.

Thanks for your input guys!

 

The problem was I was looking in the wrong aircraft.cfg file. I do all my flying in the PMDG NGX using a winglets version of the 737-800 but without thinking about it looked in the main 737-800 NGX folder and the aircraft.cfg file I found in there. In that file I did find the OpusFSX entry and that's why I was so puzzled I still had this camera showing up inside FSX after removing it.

 

So...problem solved and I also got very prompt help from the OpusFSX developers although in a private message.

Guess it was in the aircraft.cfg file then!!

Yep, you were so right Jim...just need to look in the correct aircraft.cfg :wink:
