[Tutorial] Switch between Chaseplane and EZDok

[willy647 193]

I switch between the 2 addons by copying the cameras.cfg and exe.xml files. These are located in your appdata folder ( c:\users\your_user_name\appdata\roaming\lockheed martin\prepar3d Vx)

Before installing any of the 2 addons, make a copy of your exe.xml and cameras.cfg. Then rename  the copied files to exe_default.xml and cameras_default.cfg

Install EZDok. Make a copy of exe.xml and cameras.cfg. Rename  the copied files to exe_ezdok.xml and cameras_ezdok.cfg

Install Chaseplane. Make a copy of  exe.xml and cameras.cfg. Rename  the copied files to exe_chaseplane.xml and cameras_chaseplane.cfg

Now you can manually copy the desired files or use a little app I have written (cameras.exe) to easely switch between the different camera systems.(I also use SimpleCam - if you don't use it, simply ignore it). First time use, go to Setting to setup the correct path for your system.

Hey Willy,

Having recently purchased EzDok myself, I like the idea of seamlessly switching between them.  I have installed your Switch Camera System app and set my paths correctly.  I am running as Admin also.  However when I open the program I can't select Chaseplane, SimpleCam, EZDok or NONE.  They are all greyed out.  Am I missing something?

[willy647 193]

If the chaseplane option is greyed out, it can not locate  'cameras_chaseplane.cfg' and/or .'exe_chaseplane.xml'

If ezdok is greyed out, it can not locate 'cameras_ezdok.cfg' and/or 'exe_ezdok.xml'

Hope this helps, if not PM me

Thanks Willy, however I uninstalled EZDok (back to Chaseplane full time).

Hello Willy, is this tool no longer available? I'm also looking for something that I can use to switch between stock keyboard/camera config and Chaseplane. Would this tool be able to do that? Thanks!

[willy647 193]

There have been changes to both apps which makes this tool no longer reliable to use.

Sorry, there is no update

OK thanks.

I have now acquired chaseplane and am looking for a way to "switch back and forth" between the two without any problems (for the time being). Unfortunately, the way described above did not work.

Either chaseplane or EZDOC is behaving unstable afterwards.

Is there a way without uninstalling EZDOC?
Thanks in advance for the help
