Folks,
 

I've noticed in a lot of videos how easy it seems for users to quickly move around the virtual cockpit in the PMDG, Aerosoft, etc add-ons. What software/hardware should I consider to add this level of realism to my sim?

 

I've see Track-IR, but prefer not to have to wear a hat or visor when simming.

 

Thanks in advance for any guidance.

EZDok is what you want. It's a camera add-on that lets you set and configure your own camera views and bind them to keys or buttons. Essential.

Ezdok is what I use. Works very well. Very customizable. Not intuitive to use so be ready to read the manual.

I use Aivlasoft EasyCam.

Will cost you  about 9 eur and is super easy to setup and use.

It allows a 7 day trial before you decide to buy.

Looks nice.

Nevertheless you only can define max of 10 views, and apparently no external views.

Therefore I would advise Ezdok too, although it has a bit cumbersome interface.

If you fly with headphones instead of external speakers, Track-IR has a thing (Track-Pro?) that clips to the headphones, so you don't have to wear a hat or a visor.  I've used it for four years without trouble.

Track IR and get the Track hat pro which goes on the side of your headphones...no cap required...

I use TrackIR with the TrackClip Pro also.

How do you easily switch views with EzDok? Do you use the keyboard?

You use the keyboard, joystick or you can click them in the ezdok client. I use a preset for the main forward view, overhead and pedistal assigned to number keys 1, 2, 3 respectively. I use Shift+1, Shift+2 etc for external cameras and wing views. Works extremely well.

 

I had track IR and wasn't a big fan. Works great in DCS for fighters but anything else isn't very well suited. Clicking things on the panel is more of a challenge with track IR since you can to be aware of your head movements to make sure you don't miss click. Also, gotta wear a thing on your head. Meh, it's definitely a powerful product but wasn't for me.

Friends, I can't really say anything about this yet, but you might want to take a look at THIS THREAD.  It's something REALLY special!

 

Oh... and just a little plug... if you haven't heard about the upcoming Live Flight Sim Web Conference on September 24th, please take a look HERE, it's a special event produced for the community.

 

 

Best wishes to everyone for Happy Flights!

Yes,saw that..

 

Waiting with baited breath...

Sorry, but I went to this site and found nothing related to this thread.

I've never been interested in EZdoc for years, finally gave it a go... took a while to get my head around it. Now I love it. I managed to get things setup to where I can use it pretty well. I don't know why I fought using it for so long. I've got it setup on about half of the planes I usually fly, I think it is really nice. Once you figure it out, you can use TIR, hat , keyboard and joystick buttons together. I've managed to keep to the same setup for all planes, less confusing that way. 

How does EZdok compare to the in-sim P3D camera system?
