August 31, 20205 yr In my opinion, either flight controls should remain active during Showcase/Drone camera mode or entering Showcase mode should automatically enable active pause. The sim caused me to crash yesterday (or my ignorance of it) and it had to do with me getting tangled up in the camera system and the fact that the keypad <End> and <Ins> are different than the other ones or at least they can be dependent upon whether NumLock is active. For some reason on my system, pressing the Numpad 1 key causes the airplane to nosedive when in Showcase/Drone mode even though there doesnt seem to be any flight control tied to that except elevator trim adjust and that shouldn't have caused a sudden nose dive. anyway...still trying to figure out the cameras. Why does VFR map only work in some modes (maybe only cockpit)? don't you think flight controls should always be active?

August 31, 20205 yr If you use an Xbox controller, you can manage the drone quite well with that...it's actually the best way. Lee Lee H i9 13900KF 64GB Ram 24GB RTX 4090
August 31, 20205 yr Author thank you Micheal. That works. Lee - I don't have an X box controller and Im actually getting annoyed by MS's passive aggressive attempts to make me buy one. but thanks for the help. but just for the record: external camera seemed locked on my system (mouse didnt work at all) until I assigned the 'look' controls to my joystick hat switch and now both mouse and joystick work and pretty much like FSX/P3D always did. I just had to slow down the freelook speed. Edited August 31, 20205 yr by sightseer | Dave | I've been around for most of my life.

I didn't buy a hugely expensive one as I did buy the new Airbus controller joystick, which I find quite good. Lee Lee H i9 13900KF 64GB Ram 24GB RTX 4090
August 31, 20205 yr Xb controller will make drone cam mode more fun & easier for you. You dont even need to get the real MS-made ones. I got a cheap and cheerful generic one that I use with other games for years no issues and its well made. For the 1st-person walkabouts and drone style aerial shots a controller is great. You can find a controller for as low as $16 on Amazon.
September 1, 20205 yr Author yeah, I'm gonna have to get one eventually for forza 4. its hard to drive with a keyboard. | Dave | I've been around for most of my life. There's always a sunset happening somewhere in the world that somebody is enjoying.
