Adding Fixed Camera View

[Timm]

Hi Guy,
Don't know if this will help anyone but I found this little tweak for adding the fixed Camera mode. It seems that this view was some how missed out when FSX was first delivered. I did some searching and found this Fixed View Camera (http://forums.flightsim.com/fswiki/index.php/FSX_FIXED_VIEW_CAMERA) and how to add this view to FSX. Know if any one else wants this camera you need to un-hide FSX Camera config, you should find it here C:/Documents and Settings/User/Application Data/Microsoft/FSX. you should see the camera config there. Just add the below camera to the config and you will have a new view.Timm

Title = Fixed View
Guid = {EFB2C109-C217-4425-9470-165DB3377A88}

SnapPbhAdjust = Ordinal
SnapPbhReturn = False
PanPbhAdjust = Swivel

Hi Timm,

Tried this several times without success. Fixed View doesn't show up in the Views menu so it must be somewhere else - where though? Or is there another step to be taken to achieve this? Thanks
