How to move quickly around the cockpit and cabin

Featured Replies

Hi.

I have been using ChasePlane for a while now and have set up many cameras for my aircraft. I have watched many FS videos, and most of them show the user moving effortlessly around the cockpit and cabin. They don't seem to be skipping from one preset camera to another. If I want to go to a specific preset I have 2 options: either I have to keep pushing a button on my yoke (assigned to Next View) skipping through all the presets until I reach the one I want; or I have to push the mouse wheel (twice - it never works on the first push) to bring up the ChasePlane preset menu. I never seem to see either of these on YouTube videos. They just seem to be able to wander effortlessly around, zooming in and out and so on. From what I can tell they are not using TrackIR. So how is this done? Are they just using the keyboard? Or do they have another controller such as a game pad? Please could you advise, as I am keen to be able to scoot around the cabin as easily as I see on the videos. 

Many thanks.

i also would like to know this...i watch a lot of Twitch Flight sim channels and they never say how they effortlessly do this...the way i do it with my mouse is very choppy?

I use an Xbox controller. A couple buttons for zoom. Then the two sticks for moving around.

I use the Numpad 1-9 keys along with + - * and /. By default they're assigned to an observer which I'll never need.

I also map the Num Lock key to reload the shaders.
