June 13, 201411 yr No problem Juan... If you have a photobucket account...its editing tools are not too bad (this coming from a painter who works in a high end paint program). I used to do all my editing in Paintshop...but have gotten lazy in my old age and just use photobucket's editing tools...they are good enough for what I'm trying to accomplish most of the time. Passing it though the phone may work, but I've never tried it. Anyway...whatever tools you can use to both edit your shots and move the eypoint, keeping the zoom factor to 1, the better your shots will look. As far as changing the entries in the aircraft.cfg file. With some reading in that link I included...you'll see there is also a CAMERA.CFG file that you can edit to effect global cameras. I have not played with that too much, because I think most of the cameras for the PMDG 777 are custom, and if I remember correctly, if they are custom and in the aircraft.cfg file, they supersede the ones in the CAMERA.CFG. (don't quote me on that...been a while since I deep dived into the cameras) The good thing is that you'd only have to modify 2 files for both models of the 777 (LR and F). For example.... [CameraDefinition.004] Title = "Right Wing Forward" Guid = {8997697f-b01d-4d45-87f3-618f80e702ed} Description = View of Right over wing from the passenger cabin Origin = Center SnapPbhAdjust = Swivel SnapPbhReturn = FALSE PanPbhAdjust = Swivel PanPbhReturn = FALSE Track = None ShowAxis = FALSE AllowZoom = TRUE InitialZoom = 0.8 ShowWeather = Yes InitialXyz = 2.660, 2.220, 17.663 InitialPbh = 10, 0, 127 XyzAdjust = TRUE XyzRate = 4 Category=Aircraft MomentumEffect=FALSE ClipMode=Minimum This is the Right Wing Forward" section in the aircraft.cfg for the 777 (either one) that I've modified. For ease, I just added the 2 lines to each section...even though all of them wouldn't need it. The only thing to watch for is if you already have the lines in there. If so, your choice to either edit them or replace them. There are 14 camera sections for the 777 (The folks at PMDG wanted to give us a lot of ways to view their masterpiece). Its a little work but well worth the effort. When you see all the settings you can adjust...you just have to marvel at the detail they put into FSX to make it so customizable! Talk about a cottage industry that has arose from us fanatical simmers wanting so much more than the default program....just look at the 2 (or more) payware programs that were created JUST to play with views and viewpoints! LoL Oh yeah....and the cool thing about the settings is the names are descriptive so after just studying the entries for a while you can draw some good beads on what changing them will do...for example... AllowZoom = TRUE InitialZoom = 0.8 Right there...if you didn't want to accidentally zoom with this camera...set AllowZoom = FALSE And you can see like I mentioned in the post above..this camera starts out zoomed out a bit, so it looks a bit distorted. Easily fixed once you take the time to "become one with your cameras" :LMAO: Regards, Steve Dra Regards, Steve DraGet my paints for MSFS planes at flightsim.to here, and iFly 737s hereDownload my FSX, P3D paints at Avsim by clicking here
