    Hmmm. It's a rust bucket alright, but I have fond memories of the Aeroworx KingAir. 

    Ha! You've dated yourself and I'm about to join you 😉 Ah yes, the Aeroworx B200 - truly a ground breaking plane for flight simming for its time. As far as I know, it was the first to introduce the possibility of a turbine "hot start" into the equation. Loved that plane - flew it around the world twice in addition to the umpteen gazillion other hours I logged in general flights. I will purchase the JF and hope it affords a similar amount of satisfaction.

    When you pause tobii (using custom setup key you setup) it resets camera to default position. I haven't research beyond it because I own just for a week. LOL But for what it worth I didn't have to freeze it! All camera position keys are still work like before. If I need close up to something I just press SHIFT 1-9 and teleport to the location as before

    Understood and thank you. Well, the 20% off sale will probably get my CC out of hibernation. I've been a TIR user since they first came out but their pricing is just a little too high now and especially with this Tobii sale.

    My problem was self inflicted. You can read about it here 

     

     

    You can use your other view controls with tobii at the same time (mouse, hat switch and so on). You can pause tobii or reset camera view. Tobii is very similar to TrackIR you can pan, pitch, yaw, rotate and lean forward or backward just like in real life. I just flew 310 and I absolutely love it. To me personally the main advantage of tobii is that I don't have to wear anything for it to work and it virtually undetected by a bright light (I have two windows behind my desk and tobii handles it well)

    I must warn you though. I tweaked tobii to my own liking. I don't like tobii to follow eye movement. So I set it up to work more like Track IR. I must say after I set it up I already flew several airplanes and it works very good. Helicopters flying became pure joy!

    Here is my setup if you are interested

    Thanks for this info. You say here "You can pause tobii or reset camera view" I just want to be sure you're saying that you can "freeze" the Tobii view at whatever angle you're currently looking from and not that you can just stop if from tracking. Would you please confirm? Thank you.

    Manual Pg. 18 "3.5.5. Assign combo" talks about assigning a combo key to axis. I want to assign a combo key to control AP VS increments via joystick buttons. New user here and I just don't know if this is possible. I'd like my pinky button to serve as the "shift" function in combination with a hat switch up/down to adjust VS values. Doable? Any further instruction or info would be greatly appreciated.

    Cheers,

    I wish someone would implement a wear n tear module.  Something like, a hidden counter to represent the cycles of a gauge or system.  And over time that would present a failure or increased chance of failure.  Something right up A2A's alley, if they wanted to do something like AccuFeel, that would work with any aircraft.

    That way if you had something that was...less-than-super-detailed...it could ramp it up a notch with such an add-on.

    Check the MilViz 310R, you will find your wishes realized.

    Can't / won't fly without it and that's been true for years and years. I've talked to people who didn't like it and it almost always is due to them not taking some (enough) time to experiment with getting a good profile setup. There are baseline setups included that can be modified and there are quite a few on the net from other users sharing theirs. To the new user - make sure you set up a "center view" button that is easy to access with your hardware. Mine is the trigger on my joystick. Yes, if your setup is perfect you probably won't need to center view that often but in reality, you will so make it convenient. And as others have mentioned I have an easy to access "pause view" which coupled with the FS zoom function you can easily get a nice stable, tight view on whatever you're getting at - FMS, radios etc.. That said, I still set up at least one custom view usually for the FMS which is simply more convenient when entering a lot of data like a flight plan.

    When my current TIR gives up the ghost, I will take a hard look at the Tobii head / eye tracking system. It's more expensive than TIR but there are what looks to be significant advantages and advancements vs. the TIR - not to mention that no hat or headset clip is required.

    $0.02. Hope it helps someone in the decision making process...

    Hi Bert,

    Seems the days of editing cfg files for "eyepoint" are long gone (some one please correct me if I'm wrong). In addition to some custom views that I have created as mentioned above, I have settled on a hybrid approach to cockpit views. First, I am a longtime Track IR user but I still need some tweaking even with that. I have bound increase/decrease cockpit view height, translate cockpit view forward/backward as well as translate left/right to a 4 way hat switch. These are found in the "Cockpit Camera" settings. But secondly I also use the camera controls found in the GENERAL options area. Here, there are additional camera (viewpoint) settings available that are PERSISTENT and that maybe you're not aware of. Go to OPTIONS -> SETTINGS -> CAMERA and you will find Cockpit Camera HEIGHT, HORIZONTAL POSITION AND ZOOM sliders that can be adjusted to your liking. They must be set to your liking in each aircraft although you may find that one setting works for all or many. I have found that I leave L/R centered, and only need to adjust height from 50-75 and zoom from 30-60 for the different planes I fly. There are quite a few a/c that share the same settings at least for me...

    Hope this helps and even if you knew it anyway, maybe it will help some one else.

     

    Cheers,

    selecting PPOS on the PFD causes the whole display to freeze and there is nothing I can do to get it back. 

    I can recreate this issue either by pressing format button (FRMT) on the glareshield or by selecting PPOS via the PFD MENU / FORMAT menu. Anyone seen this before?

    No guarantee here, but try removing the G3000 mod if you have it installed. There have been reports of some conflicts. The team is working on a fix addressing this.

    Thank you for your hard efforts on this now lovely bird! I really enjoy flying it, and the features that it now has. 

    I do have a request, though: Is it possible to make some adjustments to the maximum height of the head position in the cockpit? Unless I press Sparebar I feel like Im much lower in the seat than I am with other planes, and I I get a cramped in feeling. I don't like the view on final because I feel im too low, and then I have to use spacebar, but that takes me way too high. 

    In addition to the settings that dga711 pointed out, there are additional camera (viewpoint) settings available to you that maybe you're not aware of. They must be set to your liking in each aircraft although you may find that one setting works for all or many. Go to OPTIONS -> SETTINGS -> CAMERA and you will find Cockpit Camera HEIGHT, HORIZONTAL POSITION AND ZOOM sliders that can be adjusted to your liking.

    Hope this helps.

    I'm not certain this is how it is in the CJ but normally you'd adjust your viewpoint (left seat) so the orange ball is centered in front of the right-most white ball on the center windscreen pillar

    Reference this article:

    http://theflyingengineer.com/2012/10/03/a-cockpit-perspective/

    Unfortunately Ryan, Asobo hasn't come close to fitting the device properly to the window pillar. Try it - once you get the white ball centered properly over the right red ball, you find that you're eating the glareshield.
