Can anyone help my find a way to bring back the nice FS9 fixed view spot view? I know that we have a locked view in FSX but this is not a actual fixed view. In FS9 if you were had the fixde view check boxed ticked you could see your helicopter (example) spin around inside a fixed area, ie your screen/viewpoint would not revolve around the helicopter. I find landing helos difficult without this viewpoint settings....in FS9 you changed it in "view options," but we don;t have that, is there any of these camera.cfg settings I could change to get the FS9 fixed views back? I sure hope so:[CameraDefinition.004]Title = Locked SpotGuid = {BCA3FDD1-FB83-4BBA-8407-4922A7F0D00D}Description = This is the description of the spot view.Origin = CenterSnapPbhAdjust = SwivelSnapPbhReturn = FalsePanPbhAdjust = SwivelPanPbhReturn = FalseTrack = FlatChaseLockedShowAxis = NoAllowZoom = YesInitialZoom = 1.0SmoothZoomTime = 2.0ShowWeather = YesXyzAdjust = FALSETransition = noShowLensFlare=TRUECategory = OutsideClipMode = SpotPitchPanRate=30HeadingPanRate=75PanAcceleratorTime=0HotKeySelect=3Thanks!

Not:Transition = noShould be:Transition = No

Thanks Bill, didn't think the caps mattered :)ooops, that still didn't work though, my screen shifts around when the plane turns, I want just the plane to rotate/etc when I turn it, here's the setting in FS9:http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/159415.jpg

Well, I can read through the SDK and explore all the options described, and make suggestions, but......why not install the SDK, and read the Camera Configuration.htm file? ;)

ok sounds good, is that in the install sdk folder?

When you've installed the SDK you will find (in the SDK folder) a folder called Core Utilities (or something like that): in there is a folder called (something like) Camera Configuration (I am at another computer now so I can't check it) and in there is an html file with information about the camera possibilities (it's just text, not a tool or something, so good luck with it... ;))

How do you install the sdk? Where is that?

The SDK installer can be found on the first disk of the Deluxe version only!

Hi ryanbatcundVery interesting question.I have been looking for exactly the same option with no luck so far. I have been reading through the SDK documents - but it looks a little complicated for me.I too find ot much more realistic in spot plane view to see the plane rotate than to see the all the environment rotate behind a fixed angle plane.A solution would bee very welcome.RegardsHenrikBGGH

Ryanbatcund thanks for asking this question, I've been looking for the option in menu and haven't found it. I want that camera to stop movingand jumping all over the place.Bill Thanks for the answer, I forgot to install the sdk when I had thedvd burner in. :( Guess I'll have to grab it from the roomy again.

Hi BillI think we are talking about two different things here Bill. If I understand you right, the Camera jumping around all over the place -thing - is when you are in 'spot plane view'. Try choosing 'locked spot plane view'. It will lock the camera to a fixed angle and distance fron the plane, and the Camera will not jump around with this setting.RegardsHenrik
