June 8, 20169 yr Hello Guys, since I updated my P3D to version 3.3 last week, the camera positions and zoom on the T7 are looking a little bit weird. The attached image was made on a native P3D airport Thanks for your help, Phil Tereny https://picload.org/image/rgplcppa/taxicam.jpg
June 8, 20169 yr I think you have to reset the wide aspect view =1, exact wording is in the Introduction. Worth a look. Dan Downs KCRP
June 9, 20169 yr Have the same issue since updated P3D to V3.3 and WideViewAspect is set to 1. Adrijan Pekovic
June 9, 20169 yr Have the same issue since updated P3D to V3.3 and WideViewAspect is set to 1. Interesting, I haven't updated from 3.2 to 3.3 yet because of a number of reasons and LM is supposed to issue a hotfix in a few days. I doubt the hot fix will change this. I recommend you attach the screen shots to a trouble ticket and give this to PMDG at their product support site: http://support.precisionmanuals.com Dan Downs KCRP
June 15, 20169 yr A week has passed since I submitted the ticket to their support. How long does it usually take them to reply? Adrijan Pekovic
June 15, 20169 yr A week has passed since I submitted the ticket to their support. How long does it usually take them to reply? I believe that at the most, it would be a couple of days. Kyle Rogers, a moderator of this Forum will read these posts shortly and have answer about the status of your ticket. Michael Cubine
June 15, 20169 yr Commercial Member A week has passed since I submitted the ticket to their support. How long does it usually take them to reply? Can't find any tickets with your name on them. I have a feeling someone has responded to you at least once, though, since I haven't come across your ticket at all when I've been in the support queue. Regardless, something changed in the latest version of P3D that 'broke' this feature. A simple CFG tweak will fix it, and we will post the official fix soon. Kyle Rodgers

I have definitely submitted it on June 9th with no replies as of yet. I have tinkered a bit myself with the values in aircraft.cfg, namely the [CameraDefinition.016] and [CameraDefinition.017] fields, but nothing seemed to affect it. The odd thing is that WideViewAspect=True/False in Prepar3D.cfg doesn't make a difference for those two cameras, but for the nose camera it still does. Adrijan Pekovic

Hello Kyle, just to give you a quick feedback: P3D Hotfix didn't change anything, the camera positions are still as visible in my attached picture! greetings, Phil Tereny
June 22, 20169 yr A simple CFG tweak will fix it, and we will post the official fix soon. It's been a week already. Adrijan Pekovic
July 2, 20169 yr A simple CFG tweak will fix it, and we will post the official fix soon. Completely contradictory statement by Ryan Maziarz in the support ticket I raised. I guess no fix is to be expected soon, after all. Adrijan Pekovic
July 2, 20169 yr I saw this in 3.3 but WWA=1 fixed it for some I think It only seems to fix the nose camera. The bottom two are unaffected by the setting completely, which is odd and certainly wasn't this way before 3.3. Adrijan Pekovic
July 2, 20169 yr Commercial Member It only seems to fix the nose camera. The bottom two are unaffected by the setting completely, which is odd and certainly wasn't this way before 3.3. Thus the issue. It's a simple fix, but it's not particularly elegant. It definitely lacks the feeling of an official solution. Sorry for the miscommunication, but do keep in mind that this wasn't a code change that we have control over that caused it to break. I can understand frustration, but do take note of what Ryan said.

I do understand that from a professional standpoint you don't want to "release" a fix that seems unofficial and bodged. However, I'm sure that most of your customers, the simmers, want to just have the realistic experience of flying and don't care that much about downloading an official update from the operations center or fixing it some other way. And, I at least certainly wouldn't mind replacing a CFG, or even tweaking one myself with the needed values if it meant having a realistic flying experience. I can confirm that the current state bothers me much more than having to tweak a CFG to fix the issue. The decision is yours obviously and I can do nothing but to accept it, but think about what's better for the customers. Adrijan Pekovic
