Panning in 2D cockpit

[slip-stream 5]

I was advised to add the following to the .cfg file (below) but it did not work. Does anyone else know. I for the life of me cannot remember.In the (CONTROLS) section add: pan_in_cockpit_mode=1.

Yes, that directive does work in FS9.But with the new "camera" system in FSX, it doesn't anymore.And as far as I know, there's no way to have this "panning in Cockpit view" in FSX like you could in FS9.But I would love to be corrected on this :-)Rob

I reiterate that I require to pan in 2D cockpit mode using my hat switch. If you enable track IR it works, so there must be a way of enabling it to pan with the hat switch.

Slip-stream;change the pan mode in the cameras.cfg to Swivel/No-return instead of Ordinal/Return (just like in the VC)*-CameraDefinition.001-*Title = Cockpit (2D)Guid = {B1386D92-4782-4682-A137-738E25D1BAB5}Description = This is the description of the cockpit viewOrigin = CockpitShowPanel = YesSnapPbhAdjust = OrdinalSnapPbhReturn = True//PanPbhAdjust = Ordinal // change this//PanPbhReturn = True // change thisPanPbhAdjust = SwivelPanPbhReturn = FalseYou still get the VC view once you leave the front view, so you may not like it. At least you have an option.Loyd

Thanks Loyd, I will try that. Fingers crossed.

If you want to enter square brackets in forum posts, it can be done. Just enter:[ for the left square bracket: [] for the right square bracket: ]Cheers,Siggy

OK, I have tried both of these tips but no change. Please, does anyone know how I can pan in the 2D cockpit using my hat switch? Many thanks.

Many thanks.Do like Loyd said but make sure that you are editing the correct cameras.cfg file. There is one in the FSX root folder but this is not the one that you are using. The one that you're looking for is underC:Documents and SettingsApplication DataMicrosoftFSX.Change that one and it will work.R-EDIT - To change format so that :D doesn't get converted to a smiley face.

Ah, roger that. I changed the root cfg. Many thanks. 3rd time lucky.
