DBS Walk & Follow or Active Camera?

Any ideas which is better?

 

Thanks,

I've only used Active Camera, briefly before losing all interest in such things, but Walk & Follow has it's devotees too.

I'd say there's so little between them, it comes down to who is paying: if you are, get the most expensive - if your company/organisation is, get the cheapest!

Thanks. I've actually enjoyed Active Camera before.

Anyhow, light1's F1 view utility is also great, for a freebie.

I have Walk and Follow.  The usefulness of this utility is very subjective.  I like the ability to change the viewing location for exploring airports and also viewing you own aircraft from any angle.  If you are a fan of screen shots, this utility opens up almost limitless opportunities. See a couple of screenies below:

The downside is that the user interface is a combination of keystrokes that can preoccupy the attention of the sim-pilot.  That is why I use primarily on the ground.

If I'm not mistaken, Active Camera has "head shake" as an option, which does add a more dynamic feel to the simming experience.  I was not overly impressed when I tried their demo version.  There also has been some forum comment about their product support.  It would be good to hear from people who know the utility well.

Does Active Camera work in 2D mode?
