Opus Cams Update

[ZKOKQ 984]

Important info I left out. The beta version is the same version number as the release version. if you are using the release version, install the beta, even though the version numbers are the same. The release does not have the Cam update.

 

@William, have not tried the Dash yet, when I get some time I will.

There is a control you can manipulate to lessen the fsx bug.

 

Which control and how?

Which control and how?

If someone could come up with a formula or measurement that would identify the amount of axis shift in an aircraft then we certainly would be willing to provide just such an automatic option.

 

Unfortunately, no one has been able to define how the shift relates to latitude and longitude so it has not been possible.

 

What we have done is provide a very quick and simple method to correct for any axis shift in a displayed camera view using the Set Camera function in our Live Camera Control (LCC).

 

So the quickest and simplest method is to use LCC to correct for the axis shift and then click on the LCC Set Camera option. You can also use the LCC Shortcuts to assign buttons or keys to the LCC functions or better still install a six axis gamepad controller specifically for LCC. I use a Sony DualShock3 gamepad controller.

 

When a controller is used the correction takes just a second or two.

 

So what I have done is created a shortcut key "1" and if ever the eye point shifts, i hit the "1" key and all good.

Very nice, now, can you explain that to me like I'm a six year old? Just kidding, thanks for the info, will give it a go.

I have switched to the FSI 4.00.19 beta (at the bottom of the beta list). Much more comfortable, as you can assign DHM for the VC of all your aircraft with one click. Works perfectly, including for the Majestic Dash 8.

 

Kind regards

Why not just work this out through testing. The variables are latitude and distance of the camera from the centre of the aircraft. You have the 6DOF simconnect variables set up, so it's surely not that hard to work it out.

Sorry Bryn, that went over my head. Are you referring to the Quote from Opus Dev ?

[Bryn 72]

Yes - sorry.
