April 14, 20179 yr Is there a way to stop the eyepoint from moving around in virtual cockpit mode as the aircraft accelerates/decelerates/turns ? It's pretty annoying. Thanks for the help! Nathan Kiewiet

Thanks for the help! Nathan Kiewiet P3D got rid of this silly exercise by Microsoft to simulator accelerations. Basically you are stuck with it in FSX and it gets worse with larger airplanes because of how they chose to be silly. There are entries for head movement in the fsx.cfg that you can set to zero to minimize it but it never goes away. There might be some addons that try to fix it but the solution is P3D.

April 15, 20179 yr If you're asking about the shaking effects that PMDG added in, check the intro manual, as it does point this out. There's settings within the FMC where you can disable it. Try that, maybe that's what you're asking about? Captain Kevin Air Kevin 124 heavy, wind calm, runway 4 left, cleared for take-off. Live streams of my flights here.

You don't have different parts of the VC going in different directions, cursors slipping off of knobs in turns, etc. I have used it for a year now in the NGX, MD-11, 777, and 744 V3. It is not for sale by the owner. Search the internet for VPCorrection FSX. The youtube video comments has a link to the code. Michael Cubine

It was a bug in the code to translate pilot eye position into lat/long coordinates, not a mistaken attempt to provide acceleration effects. They already had those coded separately. The reason you couldn't turn this effect off with the head movement settings was because it was nothing to do with it.
April 15, 20179 yr To me it sounds like he might be talking about the dynamic head movement. If that is the case you can go into the FSX.cfg and change all the dynamic head movement settings to 0s and it will stop that. Tom Landry
April 15, 20179 yr Could well be, but once you zero that out then you notice the eye position bug more. So both would need to be addressed eventually.
