You know how you view outside the aircraft in 2004 and when you put in fixed instead of roll nothing moves but the aircraft.  How can I re-configure FSX so it will be fixed like in 2004?  The lock spot in FSX still has the scenery moving and I don't like that.  Anyone know how to do that?  Thanks for reading my post.

You need to change a camera view in your camera.cfg file.  Make the Locked Spot into a Fixed Spot by following this example.  However before making any changes backup your original camera.cfg in case you don't want the change later.  I am trying to figure out how to copy and paste into this reply but as yet have not found a way.  I will post another reply when I figure it out.  fisheye

I found a way by pressing on the left hand button above changing the BB code mode. Now I can paste into the messages.

Here is what I did ... but it didn't work ...

 At first I just did number 3 ... then I tried doing 3 and 4 ... What did I do wrong?  Also I don't understand why we can't show our rigs in the sig anymore.

Alrighty then ... I got it together .... I was in the wrong camera config file.  I went to the one in the program files ...  Here is what I did ...

It is a bit jerky ... can I do something to smooth it out otherwise it's great.

You didn't actually change anything in Camera definition 4.   I tried Camera definition three as you posted it does work on it's own except instant replay is no longer useable as it requires fixed spot.

Okay on 4 not doing anything, but I am able to get instant replay in fixed spot ... that how I checked to see if it worked.  I don't understand why you are not getting it.

I get instant replay however without the traditional fixed spot it is very jerky.
