Static View and Panning with POV Hat

Featured Replies

Hello all, I am new to Chaseplane and have set up a few static views at an airport and was wondering if its possible to use the Pan/POV Hat on my flightstick to "Look around" (Pan only), so to speak (from that static view) or is it that the static view is just that and cant be manipulated in any way?. I was also wondering, if, while doing a bit of "spotting" at the said airport, its possible whilst in Static Preset its possible to track an inbound or outbound AI aircraft, say from short finals to parking.

Many thanks,

Yes, you can move the camera just like an On-Board and Outside camera using the Control Assignments you have set in the ChasePlane Preferences

Hi Keven, and thanks for your quick reply. I must be doing something wrong here. I originally set up some static views on the airfield in the "Static" column. When I right click the view in the "Static" column, there is no option to assign it to a button on the flightstick. So I created the same view this time using the "Outside" column. Right clicking the view now reveals "Assign Button" "Assign Key" All good there.

I assign the view to POV Hat on the flightstick (When I click the button it shows POV1 (90 Degrees?) and click the green tick. When I return to the sim, even after resarting CP, the pan function dosnt work.

Thinking it may be a conflict with FSX controls, I left 'Enable controller" ticked in FSX, but deleted every assignment bar the "Pan view" which works as normal, when ChasePlane is not running

As soon as I fire up CP and select an "Outside view" preset, the POV hat no longer pans

Many Thanks  Chris Morgan

Looks like something's wrong indeed. Are you able to shoot a video of the issue, upload it as unlisted on YouTube and post it here?
