August 7, 20178 yr Has anyone figured out how to not slide all over the cockpit, when you´re taxing at places like Dubai?

August 7, 20178 yr Got me curious now. Stand by while I start FSX and go to Dubai in the 777 and try taxiing. Matthew Bellette

Hi Frederik, Try this: Go to C:\Users\[YOUR NAME]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX Find the fsx.cfg file. Back it up. Then open it in Notepad. Find the entry "[DynamicHeadMovement]". Change the settings as follows: [DynamicHeadMovement] LonAccelOnHeadLon=-0 //-0.020000 LonAccelOnHeadPitch=-0 //-0.010000 RollAccelOnHeadLat=0 //0.010000 YawAccelOnHeadLat=-0 //-0.100000 RollAccelOnHeadRoll=0 //0.100000 MaxHeadAngle=0 //5.000000 MaxHeadOffset=0 //0.300000 HeadMoveTimeConstant=0 /1.000000 Mike

Hi Sean, Not sure if I found them somewhere or came up with them looking through the fsx.cfg file. But I only have a little of that being-on-a-boat-in-a-storm effect in the cockpit. I use the Steam version with DX-10 preview, but I doubt that matters. I'll remove the changes and check again. Mike
August 9, 20178 yr 1 hour ago, cmpbellsjc said: I tried those tweaks once and didn't seem to make any difference in my sim. I just tried at Dubai using a 777-300ER. Started on Runway 30L but mostly on taxiways. A very dramatic difference with and without the FSX.cfg modifications. With the modifications no nose down on rapid acceleration or swaying of the cockpit on fairly sharp taxiway turns. Here is what entry should look like (inadvertently left out a "/" in above post). This just zeroes out all the entries. Again, backup fsx.cfg before trying. [DynamicHeadMovement] LonAccelOnHeadLon=-0 //-0.020000 LonAccelOnHeadPitch=-0 //-0.010000 RollAccelOnHeadLat=0 //0.010000 YawAccelOnHeadLat=-0 //-0.100000 RollAccelOnHeadRoll=0 //0.100000 MaxHeadAngle=0 //5.000000 MaxHeadOffset=0 //0.300000 HeadMoveTimeConstant=0 //1.000000 Mike
