Hi guys!

Just got chaseplane setup as I wanted in FS2024 but there's one thing that I want to get and I dont know if its possible.

In the cinematic mode, is it possible to get smooth transitions between views? Right now it just switches between views every X second but the switch happens in an instant. I want to get a smooth fade out - fade in.

Is that possible?

Here you go, Mike — this is exactly how to get smooth cinematic transitions in ChasePlane for MSFS 2024 without jerky camera jumps.

🎥 Smooth Cinematic Transitions in ChasePlane 2024 (Best Settings)

ChasePlane can produce beautifully smooth, professional-looking transitions — but you need to tweak a few key settings.

---

✅ Step 1 — Enable Cinematics Mode

Open ChasePlane → Cinematics

Make sure:

• Cinematics Mode → ON

This enables the automated smooth camera sequencing system.

---

✅ Step 2 — Set Long, Smooth Transition Times

Go to:

Preferences → Camera → Cinematics

Adjust:

• Change camera angle every:
  👉 20–45 seconds (sweet spot for cinematic pacing)

• Automatic camera motion:
  👉 30–50%
  (Lower = smoother, higher = more movement)

• Zoom offset:
  👉 0 to -5%
  (Avoids aggressive zoom jumps)

---

✅ Step 3 — Enable Smooth View Transitions (VERY Important)

Go to:

Preferences → Camera → Transitions

Set:

• Transition Speed:
  👉 Slow

• Transition Smoothing:
  👉 High

This removes the snap switching effect.

---

✅ Step 4 — Per-Camera Smooth Movement (Often Missed!)

Each camera view has its own smoothing values.

For any camera:

• Click Edit Camera

• Set:

  • Movement Speed: Low – Medium

  • Camera Weight / Inertia: Low

  • Acceleration: Low

This makes view switching glide instead of snap.

---

🎬 Cinematic Sweet Spot Preset (Copy This)

If you want a ready-made setup:

Camera change: 30 sec
Motion amount: 35%
Transition speed: Slow
Smoothing: High
Camera inertia: Low
Camera acceleration: Low

This gives:

• Smooth gliding transitions

• Natural camera drift

• Zero harsh snaps

---

🔥 Pro Tip — Ultra Smooth Video Transitions

For recording cinematic footage:

• Disable camera physics

• Disable head movement

• Use only Cinematics mode

This gives buttery-smooth drone-style camera motion.

Most proposed settings don't exist. Those tips are from a hallucinating AI - Just throw them in the bin.

Chatgpt hallucinating again. The other day chatgpt told me to modify some settings in my oralb electric toothbrush... settings that dont exist

AI to the rescue again,huh? Sigh,...

Can we ban ai responses in all threads? It's mostly garbage, and I'm sure if the OP wanted to ask ai, they would have done so themselves. 

I'd rather ban AI in general.

Yeah, it has definitely become annoying. This thread a fine example of how the poster didn't even check the AI garbage before posting it.

I've started adding a few ChatGPT, Co-Pilot repeat posters to my Ignore list.
