April 9, 20206 yr Please don't judge. Getting back into the hobby after a 10 year break, when my wife passed away... I'm CURRENTLY using an XBox 360 controller for Prepar3dV4.5. Everything is working fine, except when I look around the cockpit, and let go of the stick, it snaps back to center. Anyone know how I can disable this? I've looked high and low in the sim, and can't find a setting.. Any help will be very much appreciated. Thanks. Paul Heaney - CYKF
April 9, 20206 yr Hiya, I am also using an XB controller out of necessity at the moment (broken joystick), but with the Chaseplane camera utility, which thankfully does not snap back when panning with the right stick. I will try tomorrow without CP to see if there's an alternative way.

April 9, 20206 yr Hey Fluxuated, That's unfortunately by design. If you look in the Axis Settings of the Control page, this is where the right stick of your XBox 360 Controller has been bound to move the view. Unfortunately you cannot use the right stick to pan without using an external camera utility like Chaseplane, EZCA or a mapping utility that will redesignate the right stick as another input. What you can do without spending more money, is to map the View (pan) setting in the Button Settings to your D-Pad and use that to pan. It's a little clunky, and you lose the default mappings for Elevator Trim and Flaps, but you will be able to pan. I use the XBox One Controller frequently when I don't want to get all of the joysticks and throttles mounted, and here is what I used to have mine set to before using Chaseplane: Left Trigger - Yaw (default) Left Shoulder - Elevator Trim Down Right Trigger - Yaw (default) Right Shoulder - Elevator Trim Up Left Stick - Elevator/Aileron (default) Left Stick Click - Next View Category (S on the keyboard) D-Pad - Pan View Right Stick - None Right Stick Click - Next View (A on the keyboard) Y - Throttle up (default) B - Throttle down (default) X - Gear (default) A - Brakes (default) I highly recommend getting Chaseplane and setting it up as it is a great tool for changing your camera views and you can set the right stick as pan like deetee does.

It is expensive, but 100% worth it... you won’t want to fly the sim without it once you’ve used it, it really is that good.
