Hi all,

 

I have recently started using FSX after upgrading from FS9.

I am flying the default 737 with virtual cockpit but dont like the view.

 

If I want to look out the left window I press 4 on the num pad, but instead of looking immediately left it scrolls left (like using the hat on joystick)

 

Is it possible to make it look immediately left instead of scrolling?

 

I have tried the view settings but nothing seems to work?

 

Also, its quite distracting that when you pull up or bank your viewpoint moves with the plane instead of holding the fixed point. Can this be turned off?

Jay, if you mean gross left/right/forward/backward movements you are probably seeing

FSX's dynamic head movement.

 

To turn it off open your fsx.cfg file and set all the appropriate values to zero as here:

 

[DynamicHeadMovement]
LonAccelOnHeadLon=0.000000
LonAccelOnHeadPitch=0.000000
RollAccelOnHeadLat=0.000000
YawAccelOnHeadLat=0.000000
RollAccelOnHeadRoll=0.000000
MaxHeadAngle=0.000000
MaxHeadOffset=0.000000
HeadMoveTimeConstant=0.000000

thought that if your in vc mode no matter what if you press the keys  it  will only  scroll   like using  the  hat switch. But if your in 2d  and  than do it  than it looks left  immediately but could be  wrong

Where is the FSX.cfg file?

 

Thanks

check it out at youtube

Where is the FSX.cfg file?

 

Thanks

C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Application Data\Microsoft\FSX  This is for Windows XP

 

 

this is the file path, replace Yourname with what ever you named your computer.  This is for Win7 and maybe Win8

C:\Users\Yourname\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX\fsx.CFG

_{Thanks, edited the .cfg file and now fixed one of the issues}

_:rolleyes:
