November 12, 20187 yr OK guys, aI'll be honest.... I spend a lot of time just enjoying the scenery and use my spot view a lot ! I use the hatswitch on my Saitek yoke or X52 stick, to effect this. But I still cannot work out if Chaseplane will allow me to do this. I have literally 1000s ... (well a few dozen) posts, but seem to find conflicting views on whether this is actually achievable. So, I can only buy this if I can use my hatswitch to pan. Advice ? Many thanks Edited November 12, 20187 yr by Gabe777
November 12, 20187 yr I use hatswitch to pan using ChasePlane. There is a place in CP user preferences to set the hat up,down, left right. I have views for PIC, radios, etc set up on the numpad keys. Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10700F CPU @ 2.90GHz (8 cores) Hyper on, Evga RTX 3060 12 Gig, 32 GB ram, Windows 11, P3D v6, and MSFS 2020 and a couple of SSD's
November 13, 20187 yr Commercial Member The Hat Switch is configured like buttons in the Control Assignments section of ChasePlane Keven Menard Technical Director, //42.
November 13, 20187 yr Author Hi, So how do effect a default panning effect, using the hatswitch, with the aircraft remaining in the centre ? Thnx
November 13, 20187 yr Commercial Member Not sure what you're talking about... Spot view? Keven Menard Technical Director, //42.
November 13, 20187 yr Author Is there any way to pan freely around the aircraft using the hat switch, as in default locked spot view - or is it disabled when CP is running ? Thnx
November 13, 20187 yr Commercial Member We recommend not using the default sim views and stick to the ChasePlane ones. You can make a custom Spot View camera with more visual effects and with greater control than what P3D offers by default. Here's how you do it in CP: Camera > Advanced > Enabled Gimbal Camera > Advanced > Track Aircraft TLDR Yes you can have that in ChasePlane Keven Menard Technical Director, //42.
November 13, 20187 yr Author Hmmm... well if I press "S", it appears to switch to default external panning view - internal works as per CP settings..... and when I hit s=a CP external preset, it goes back to CP control ! Maybe an anomaly, but it works for me ! Great stuff.... gets better all the time.... well done (!) - next to Simstarter, this is the best app made for flightsim - just wish I'd come on board a year ago. Thnx again.
November 13, 20187 yr Author Appears that once preset views are assigned to the hatswitch, that ability to use the panning in default mode, is gone ! Oh well, at least I have the choice. Cheers
