Goodday all,

I am considering to obtain CP but before that I would like to know how do you navigate throughout the cockpit and outside the plane.

I have seen many You Tube examples but it is not clear for me.

Do you use the mouse for this and if yes does it not conflict with the cursor?

Many thanks in advance for your response

 

(BTW - I use mostly Aerosoft Airbuses en QualityWings B787)

 

regards,

Gerrit

Yes, you can use the mouse to move around. Click and hold the scroll wheel, move the mouse. I find that awkward but I use TrackIR to accomplish the same thing so rarely use a mouse.

You're familiar with the Airbuses and their preset interior and exterior views using the panel they provide onscreen. Chaseplane is similar but you setup the views or download views created by other users. I have the Airbus Pros 318-321 and disable the Aerosoft premade views in favor of my own created with Chaseplane.

You can also assign buttons on both your Joystick and/or Throttle to the cameras for the cockpit, and use the hat switch of your Joystick to pan around your aircraft in external view. You can also assign the Zoom to any of your Joystick/Throttle buttons to zoom in and out as you wish.

To me CP is a must have if you're a serious simmer. It's also a marvelous piece of software.
