Panning

[Pepere]

Panning with the pan button on a joy stick or yoke - is there a way to adjust how fast it pans?

Thanks

Yes, but it is a tiresome task.
At each position or view other than the FSX default V.C. pilot position add : PanAcceleratorTime=0

Below is an example that I edited to the the FSX default 737 right seat position.




[CameraDefinition.001]
Title = "Right Seat"
Guid = {8ff6c134-098d-409f-baec-caba3f683f98}
Origin = Virtual Cockpit
MomentumEffect = YES
SnapPbhAdjust = Swivel
SnapPbhReturn = False
PanPbhAdjust = Swivel
PanPbhReturn = False
Track = None
ShowAxis = YES
AllowZoom = TRUE
InitialZoom = .8 //---->>> 0.6
SmoothZoomTime = 2.0
ZoomPanScalar = 1.0
ShowWeather = Yes
XyzAdjust = TRUE
ShowLensFlare=FALSE
Category = Cockpit
PitchPanRate=20
HeadingPanRate=60
InitialXyz=0.94, 0.0, 0.0
InitialPbh=2, 0, 0
PanAcceleratorTime=0

There's also a Cameras.cfg file you can change which I think will change the pan speed for all your aircraft. There are 2 cameras.cfg files.. one in the FSX root folder which is a backup and one where your FSX.cfg file is. Change the pan values for the VC in this file (the one where your FSX.cfg is) ..

[CameraDefinition.002]
Title = Virtual Cockpit
Guid = {C95EAB58-9E4A-4E2A-A34C-D8D9D948F078}
Description = This is the description of the virtual cockpit view.
Origin = Virtual Cockpit
MomentumEffect = Yes
SnapPbhAdjust = Swivel
SnapPbhReturn = False
PanPbhAdjust = Swivel
PanPbhReturn = False
Track = None
ShowAxis = YES
AllowZoom = TRUE
InitialZoom = 0.7
SmoothZoomTime = 2.0
ZoomPanScalar = 1.0
ShowWeather = Yes
XyzAdjust = TRUE
ShowLensFlare=FALSE
Category = Cockpit
PitchPanRate=30
HeadingPanRate=75
PanAcceleratorTime=0
HotKeySelect=1

PitchPanRate and HeadingPanRate are the two you can fiddle with but I think HeadingPanRate is the one to try. You can fiddle with all of them really but I'm not sure what'll happen!:biggrin-new: The highest value you can set is 100 so I'd try a HeadingPanRate of 100 if you want it faster or lower than 75 if you want it slower

Thanks.. Will give both a try and seesss what happens.

the Cameras.cfg file did the trick. Actually wanted to slow down the spot view and the cfg did the trick very well.


Thanks
