@Stearmandriver , thx for the great explanation ! I learned just now that some early 732's and operators did also have Paravisual displays for LVOs I did know the 747's up to the 744 could be quipped with it, but never seen in in 737s...

I belive there is yet another nuance in the 737s - between fail passive and fail operational equipped aircraft, there'as also a difference in the way the aircraft tries to maintain the centerline (rollout) in an autoland, commanding rudder inputs, or the pilots have to promptly disengage the AP and AT right after touch down and continue to steer the aircfraft with rudder themselves... ´´´´´´

Great, it must really be a delight ! What about that upcoming delight ? that starting with a "T" ? :-) Ah! And.... do you intend to update the DC-3 in the future, specially after 12.5 get's to the road ? It's been quite a while since I last installed it, on pair with the VSkylabs airliner (they somehow complement each other in some aspects of the simulation... ), but your dc-3 was the first decent dc-3 I purcahsed for XP, by the times of Xp10 ( or was it 9 ???)

Where from? Hmmm, beware of those "tempting" downloads....

Might it be something like a plugin that manipulates the steering PIN for pushback, leaving ir in place? @UrgentSiesta should also be sure to apply the same steering tiller EFB option and save ir in every variante of the 737, because saving for the 600 Will not automatically apply it to the other variants...

Really puzzling 🤔

I have been using the release available from: 737NG Series for X-Plane 12 - Aircraft - Threshold and wasn't aware of modified "air" files from Discord, and, since I avoid the mess of Discord channels I am resisting pying a visit to the link @Bjoern posted above, and anyway this version (from december 2025) is very nice to hand fly, with a more or less reliable VNAV logic too and I really like the behaviour in terms of landing and overall ground physics. I honestly can't find at present any sigificative differences between the LevelUp and the Zibo.

I have a T16000 which I use for tiller, roll and pitch. In the EFB I have : NOSEWHEEL AXIS ON/YAW/ROLL/VR just as in the ZIBO. Don't forget to always save your settings in the MAIN MENU lower right Save & Load Configs

I like this youtuber vids: XP12 VATSIM | LevelUp B737-800 | Busy Departure From Singapore + ATC | SQ463 | enhances the beauty of the LevelUp 737 but also the beauty of X-Plane's visuals, the scenery details at airports, the colours, the lighting... For a free aircraft, I couldn't ask for more :-)

I've successfuly hand flown it. Handles really nice.

I really enjoy them too! An excellent complemento for the Zibo.

Maybe in the future they can find a solution not based only in NOAA...

I'm sooooo fine with the inexpensive LookPilot... Many moons ago a great friend offered me his TiR he was no longer using, and I used for about 1 yr before it broke for good :-// I have used recently another nice solution - BeamEye Tracker - but I watched some videos about LookPilot and gave it a go. I never use the eye tracking component of these apps but the "neck tracking" works just great ! And I believe you can easily get your view @vgbaron as you describe... Copilot tells me, just as a complement and in case I haven't quite understood what you ask for: ======== Beware !!! evil AI bellow :-) ( I can't live without it these days 🤣 ) ========= Short answer: Yes — LookPilot can provide exactly what vgbaron is asking for, and arguably more cleanly than Tobii’s native pause behavior. Below is the precise, sim‑focused explanation based on the AVSIM thread you’re viewing . 🎯 What vgbaron wantsHe wants a “freeze view” function: Press a button → head tracking pauses The camera stays exactly where it is (no auto‑recenter) He can click switches with the mouse Press again → tracking resumes TrackIR does this natively. Tobii does not — pausing Tobii causes MSFS to recenter, which ruins the workflow. 🟢 Can LookPilot do this?Yes. LookPilot supports a true “pause tracking but keep current view” mode. LookPilot’s “neck tracking” behaves like TrackIR/OpenTrack: ✔ Freeze view without recenterYou can bind a key/button to Pause Tracking. When paused, LookPilot does not send new head‑pose data, so MSFS simply keeps the camera where it is. ✔ No forced recenterUnlike Tobii’s native integration, LookPilot does not auto‑recenter when paused. ✔ Works with any MSFS aircraftBecause LookPilot injects head‑tracking via the standard SimConnect interface, MSFS treats it like TrackIR/OpenTrack. ✔ Easy to bindYou can assign: Pause/Resume tracking Recenter view Toggle tracking This is exactly the workflow vgbaron described with his yoke rocker switch. 🟡 How LookPilot compares to the alternatives mentioned in the threadOpenTrack + TobiiAlso solves the problem Requires Tobii → OpenTrack bridge More setup complexity Same “pause without recenter” behavior ChasePlaneProvides a “leave camera where it is when headtracking is disabled” option Requires ChasePlane (not available for MSFS 2024 yet) LookPilotLightweight Cheap No Tobii hardware needed Provides the freeze‑view behavior natively Very simple setup 🧭 Bottom lineIf the question is: Yes — LookPilot already does this, and it’s one of the reasons people use it instead of Tobii’s native MSFS integration.

I will wait for 12.5 because many changes are coming, both FM and reciprocating/turboprop/jet engine and systems...
