changing default viewpoint settings FSX:SE (with FlyInside)

Recommended Posts

Hi,

Using FlyInside with FSX:SE and Rift CV1 here

spending most of the time in cockpit -> virtual cockpit (captain's) view obviously. But sometimes also very nice in VR to stand in front of the plane/

I've set up 6 joystick buttons to move view point in X, Y, Z axes. but moving that is very slow.I would like to change some of the views relative to the aircraft (like for example aircraft -> right wing aft or aircraft -> tail view or aircraft -> left engine.Moving the viewpoint is too slow to change that with each new flight.

In which config file do I find the settings for this to edit?

(i don't think that Flyinside will allow any 3rd party addons like EZDOK or the other more recent one)

Thanks.

Antoine

I use native VR mode in P3DV4, which works nicely with EZDok. But I remember from my first VR experience with FSX-SE and FlyInside that the predefined views (accessed by A and S keys) work. They are defined in cameras.cfg and can be modified easily. Just don‘t forget to save a backup copy.

Fellow FSXSE Flyinside Simmer here

I have my viewpoints set up to my Thrustmaster Throttle hat buttons with repeat strength on max....yes it still takes a while to pan on spot view modes unfortunately.

Do you fly in multiplayer?

Are you on discord?

Thanks for the replies.

Meanwhile i found the settings in the aircraft.config file in simobjects. This is aircraft specific. I forgot to mention that i was using the PMDG NGX.

For instance for the PMDG777

\Steam\SteamApps\common\FSX\SimObjects\Airplanes\PMDG 777-200LR\aircraft.config

You will see all camera settings there

For example, look at these 2 wing views right and left:

InitialXyz = 40.8, 8.0, -17.0
nitialXyz = -40.8, 8.0, -17.0

When comparing these numbers with the other views it'll become clear how to interpret them....

[CameraDefinition.013]
Title = "Right Wing"
Description = View from the right wing tip looking at the cockpit
Origin = Center
SnapPbhAdjust = Swivel
SnapPbhReturn = FALSE
PanPbhAdjust = Swivel
PanPbhReturn = FALSE
Track = None
ShowAxis = FALSE
AllowZoom = TRUE
InitialZoom = 0.80
ShowWeather = Yes
InitialXyz = 40.8, 8.0, -17.0
InitialPbh = 15, 0, 295
XyzAdjust = TRUE
Category=Aircraft
MomentumEffect = FALSE
ClipMode=Minimum

[CameraDefinition.014]
Title = "Left Wing"
Description = View from the left wing tip looking at the cockpit
Origin = Center
SnapPbhAdjust = Swivel
SnapPbhReturn = FALSE
PanPbhAdjust = Swivel
PanPbhReturn = FALSE
Track = None
ShowAxis = FALSE
AllowZoom = TRUE
InitialZoom = 0.80
ShowWeather = Yes
InitialXyz = -40.8, 8.0, -17.0
InitialPbh = 15, 0, 65
XyzAdjust = TRUE
Category=Aircraft
MomentumEffect = FALSE
ClipMode=Minimum

About  238 tons for a 777 🙂

by the way i think that the 295 in InitialPbh = 15, 0, 295

must be degrees (so about 10 'o clock)

meaning changing this number to - 180 you will look in the opposite direction

But i have to try this yet.

Let me know if you wanna do some VR flying together.

My username is Clammy in FSXSE multiplayer lobby.

Gonna start churning out more VR videos here soon
