Locked Spot View camera

Featured Replies

Question: I wanted to have a default zoom=1.0 locked spot view which would be further away than the current default PMDG 777 view. I tried using RADitor but it does not recognize the 777LR MDL file (P3DV3). Can someone suggest how one could do this other than ctrl- command?

P3D has a default cfg file with these settings, zoom setting for each camera.  The saved flight file also has this for the specific flight.

Thanks. I tried changing the default cfg file but it had no impact. I did not find a camera cfg among the flights directory.

I'm not sure I know what you are trying to do.  The default cameras.cfg file probably only affects saved flights, so unless you resave your default flight it has no immediate effect. My locked spot default is 1x, and I generally increase it to 2x.  The saved flight camera zoom is kept in the saved flight .fxml file, locked spot is camera 1.9 in my saved files for P3D flights.
