Justin: Iv'e got plenty of video's of "birds", however i can't upload them here, i'd get banned ! lol. Yer mucky pup, which bird are we talking about ? Cheers Cub 1.

Yes, i knew where that was going !

Yes. This works fine - just tried it. A simple on / off switch. I'm still trying to find a way to remove the circle cursor but i think its hard coded.Cub 1.

There is a workaround for TrackIR, using GlovePie, see my post pinned to top of this forum "True Perspective Tweak"Cub 1.

Constant Freelook and View CycleMoving forward from Kolaf's GlovePie Tutorial above, I have edited the script a little more to suit my setup. I don't have TrackIR just a MS Sidewinder Joystick.These tweaks provide the following using the GlovePie software as discussed in Kolaf's tutorial as a base:All views are available from the virtual cockpit.1. Press joy button 3 once to go to left / right / up /down mouselook, press again to enter cockpit freelook. This Joystick button will now toggle between the 2 states.2. Press and hold joy button 1 (trigger) wil change cursor to a clickable one to enable mouseclicks in the cockpit. Releasing will revert back to full freelook.3. Press joy button 4 to switch to outside freelook mode and control the view just by moving the mouse. Clicking same button again will revert to cockpit freelook.4. Press joy button 2 to switch to outside flyby view - not moveable. Press same button again to revert to cockpit freelook.Make sure that any buttons that you use on the joystick mapped to GlovePie are not mapped in FS - otherwise you will have conflicts.Still with me ?I have combined this with my Dynamic Head Movement increase as detailed above.Of couse you can edit the buttons you want to use to correspond with your joystick or flight yoke. Just change the values in GlovePie.Glovepie Script : -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------if Pressed(Joystick.Button3) then if var.look = True then Mouse.MiddleButton = 0 wait 100 ms Mouse.RightButton = 1 else Mouse.RightButton = 0 wait 100 ms Mouse.MiddleButton = 1 end toggle(var.look)endif Pressed(Joystick.Button1) then Mouse.RightButton = 0 Mouse.MiddleButton = 0endif Released(Joystick.Button1) then wait 100 ms Mouse.RightButton = 1endif Pressed(Joystick.Button4) then if var.view = True then key.F11 = 0 wait 100 ms key.F9 = 1 else key.F9 = 0 wait 100 ms key.F11 = 1 end toggle(var.view)endif Pressed(Joystick.Button2) then if var.view2 = True then key.F10 = 0 wait 100 ms key.F9 = 1 else key.F9 = 0 wait 100 ms key.F10 = 1 end toggle(var.view2)end---------------------------------------------------------------------------------This, for me, has improved the experience of "Flight"Hope you like it.Cub 1.

Completely off topic I know, but your name is the same as mine !On topic - I would also like to know this as I have an SSD 225Gb, but have not installed Flight to it as I wasn't sure how much space it would eventually take up with all DLC etc.Kind regardsPeter Chambers (alias Cub 1)

I hate to rain on your parade n4gix but you missed the spelling mistake on the first line of the tutorial ! lol........... :Hypnotized:Regards,Cub 1.

Try this link: http://glovepie.en.softonic.com/ click on "Free Download" green button. It comes complete with comprehensive instructions - a great program.Cub.

Just noticed that Kabronicus posted this tweak before me in the "Early Tutorials" section. Sorry if I've trod on anyones toes here. Didn't notice this before.To Kolaf: Got GlovePie to work using the script "Mouse.RightButton = not joy.Button1" which maps my Joystick button number 1 to Mouse right. Clicking Joy button1 sets up mouselook a treat as you don't have to hold down the button, just click again to release. Mouse right button still works as it should. You can set this up for any key or button you want.Hope this helps in your tutorial for setting up TrackIR.Using GlovePie I think there is a way to hide the mouse cursor, but i haven't worked it out yet.Using the new 1.0 zoom and pressing backspace works for me - it does not reset to 0.6 view. Not sure why it doesn't work for some of you. Make sure you change "IntialZoom".Cub.

Okay, while we're here, something else I have fiddled with - the Dynamic Head Movement settings.To me they were just a little mild, so I muliplied all the settings in DynamicHeadMovement section of the Flight.cfg by 1.5 to get the following:[DynamicHeadMovement]Enabled=1.000000LonAccelOnHeadLon=-0.011250LonAccelOnHeadPitch=-0.001500LonAccelOnHeadAlt=0.022500RollAccelOnHeadLat=0.015000YawAccelOnHeadLat=0.453000RollAccelOnHeadRoll=0.150000MaxHeadAngle=4.500000MaxHeadOffset=0.262500HeadMoveTimeConstant=0.450000Not too strong, but just a little more real ?Still testing but it works - now try that approach in high winds and a thunderstorm !Kolaf: I had forgotten about GlovePie, as I have used it before, I will try it with your tips - Thanks Edit: Can't get it to work. Mind you if it did we would still have to somehow " Hide " the cursor while its in freelook mode.Cub.

The default 0.6 zoom is for me like looking through the bottom of a beer glass. Using 1.0 gives no zoom at all and has the benefit of giving the illusion of moving your seat forward.I guess its all a matter of personal preference.One thing I wish you could do is to have a permanant mouse look without having to hold down the right mouse button. I tried to map it to a button using a repeated key press but with no luck.Cheers all,Cub.

Hi folks,As others have mentioned here the default views were too zoomed out for me also, so i changed them:Go to C:/Users/yourname/Appdata/Roaming/Microsoft/Flight/Cameras.cfg( you may need to show hidden folders in folder options ) and browse down to Initial Zoom in Virtual Cockpit section[CameraDefinition.002]Title = $CockpitGuid = {C95EAB58-9E4A-4E2A-A34C-D8D9D948F078}Description = This is the description of the cockpit view.Origin = Virtual CockpitInitialPbh=8.0, 0, 0MomentumEffect = YesSnapPbhAdjust = SwivelSnapPbhReturn = FalsePanPbhAdjust = SwivelPanPbhReturn = FalseTrack = NoneShowAxis = YESAllowZoom = TRUEInitialZoom = 1.0 ...................................... change this from 0.6 to 1.0 as I have done.SmoothZoomTime = 2.0ZoomPanScalar = 1.0ShowWeather = YesThis will give a truer perspective while in the Virtual Cockpit and will be saved for all planes.Someone on this forum posted a slight look down view which you can see i have implemented above -with the line " InitialPbh=8.0, 0, 0 " which gives you an eight degree look down to show slightly more of the panel. Change numbers to suit.Hope this helps, get tweaking !Cub 1.
